  • 1.  OPS/MVS OPSLOG creating reports from archive datasets

    Posted Jun 12, 2017 10:28 PM

    Hello,

     

    I'd like to create reports of messages and attributes stored in the archived OPSLOG. Are you able to provide the VSAM file characteristics, fields etc, and how to unpack them?

     

    Or is there an offline function similar to the OPSLOG() function, that can be run against the archive datasets, not the live OPSLOG?

     

    Thanks

    You could define an OPSLOG and add it to your OPSLOG definitions (I have a 3rd OPSLOG as a spare). This would allow you to restore your archive to that OPSLOG. Once you have accomplished that you could use the expanded form of the OPSLOG function and specify the LOGNAME as the log you restored to.

    Hello Travi,

     

    That is a good idea. And it works well for what I'm going to do.

     

    Thank you.
