Hi All

Can anyone please help to provide the JCL for taking the dump of Running SYSLOG from SDSF to a flat file? Currently I use XDC command
to take the dump periodically as per my project requirement. I try to get it done through a JCL. Can anyone please help?

You need a batch job that executes a rexx program.

You need a rexx program that issues SDSF REXX API calls.

You need to read the manual that describes the SDSF REXX API. See "SDSF Operation and Customization", SA22-7670.

Syslog are backed up at regular intervals depending on the system design.
Check the log starting and ending time of previous syslog.
check with your MVS support as they know where the syslogs are stored as GDG'S.

then simple IEBGENER will resolve your request.
