IFB081I - LOGREC DATA SET IS FULL

I am getting this informational error message on the console -
*03.32.46          *IFB081I LOGREC DATA SET IS FULL,03.32.46,
*        DSN=SYS1.LOGREC                                     


Is there any way to get rid of it? How to increase the size of the LOG Dataset - SYS1.LOGREC?

Mr. Sorichetti is correct. Back when I was a real system programmer I used to have a job handy to do just that.

Before you reset the data set - you will find it's a very simple job that only requires a few seconds to run - you want to run the report writer to display what is in the data set. This is rather more complex and beyond the scope of this forum. Most production shops have a procedure in place to run the report writer and clear the LOGREC data set.

I ran the following JCL -

//IFCDIP00 JOB 'ACCT#','CLEAR SYSLOG',MSGLEVEL=(1,1),                   
//             CLASS=A,MSGCLASS=A,NOTIFY=&SYSUID                       
//******************************************************************** 
//* CLEAR AND INITIALIZE HARDWARE EVENT RECORDER DATASET             * 
//******************************************************************** 
//IFCDIP00 EXEC PGM=IFCDIP00                                           
//SERERDS  DD  DSN=SYS1.LOGREC,DISP=OLD,                               
//             VOL=SER=JASYS1,          <-- CHANGE TO SYSRES VOLSER     
//             UNIT=3390                <-- CHANGE TO SYSRES UNIT       

Still, I can see the same dataset information as i posted previously i.e. no difference in space allocation and space usage (# of CYL(s)) and also when i am trying to see\view the SYS1.LOGREC directly or from the SDSF;LOG, it's still having all those logs which existed earlier before submission of the JCL. Can you please guide me?

The contents of SYS1.LOGREC are binary; only the report writer program can transform the contents to something a biological brain can hope to understand (or more accurately sort of understand). I suspect you will find most of the data will turn out to be software records, but that's just a guess on my part since it's been 10+ years since I looked at a report.
