Subject: Re: [IBM-MAIN] Copying portions of a huge data set

As I said earlier, I can 'browse forward' in the corrupted file to identify the 
beginning of each 'good' segment (syslog) and the beginning of each 'bad' 
segment (user job). Pointing to some random spot in the file may not tell me 
much about where I am at the moment. 

Ironically the bad segments (user output) all seem to end this way:

ICE052I 0 END OF DFSORT  

I see that as just a coincidence of what the user is doing. I wouldn't try to 
count on that for a general case. It turns out we can prevent this problem in 
the future by turning off access to a RACF resource in JES2 Exit 6. That should 
have been done many years ago.

This may be simplistic, but using REXX & EXECIO, as long as you can identify 
the errant data easily enough, you should be able to get this done fairly 
easily. Maybe not as quick as REPRO, but without much hassle.

ATTENTION! This email originated outside of DTCC; exercise caution.

With 22,807,898 lines in the file, it took a lot of 'inspection' to understand 
why our log print program was getting S0C7. The intrusive user junk always 
starts with 'J E S 2  J O B  L O G'. OTOH every true syslog record seems to 
have an alpha character in position 1 that can be found with "f p'@' 1 word". 
Hence the relevant line numbers can be found easily with alternating ISPF 
browse commands. But very hard to turn into a simple algorithm.

Can you only identify the bad data by the line numbers or is there a keyword in 
the log entries that you can include/exclude by ?
