How to write the JESMSGLG to a dataset?

Postby smita » Sat Mar 27, 2010 1:34 am

Hi All,

Can anybody help me to write the JESMSGLG information in the spool to a dataset? I want to achieve it using JCL.

I see in the spool that each job's JESMSGLG, JESJCL is written to a dynamically created dataset. I can't open them in View or Browse mode.

Can anyone help?

Thanks,
Smita

Hello,

You should be able to open them in sdsf.

Then, you could use XDC (or PRINT ODSN) to copy them to a dasd file.

I've not tried this using sdsf batch (i.e. jcl), but it works well online. . .
Hope this helps,
d.sch.

Thanks Dick!!

Yes can view them in SDSF. But wanted them in a dataset; which can be used further.

Can anyone help!!

Dick,

I have read your reply. I already know about XDC. I want to have it in dataset using JCL.

I hope it's clear now.

Is it not possible through JCL?

Thanks,
Smita

Hello,

You can run sdsf in batch (i.e. jcl). . .

You may need to use PRINT ODSN rather than XDC.
Hope this helps,

Thanks Dick!!

Could you please provide me a sample JCL for PRINT OSDN? I have never used this before.

You're welcome :)

This should work basically the same in batch as it does online. Unfortunately, none of my current systems use sdsf (at least not my teams access), so i can't create an example. Bummer.

Suggest you work thru the mechanics online and then replicate those commands into your batch job. You should need a PRINT ODSN that specifies a datasaet, a selection of the file you want to "print", the PRINT command, and a PRINT CLOSE to complete.
Hope this helps,

Perhaps if you bothered to actually give some details as to why you could not do this rather than just saying you couldn't it may help people to help you.

Is it because you don't know the syntax, have you tried to use XDC, what else have you tried and/or researched for yourself and what happened.
