Using the EXTRACT, INDEXFILE, and WORKFILE Control Statement panels


To build keywords and values on control statements that are used to allocate Log Analyzer external files, use the following panels:

  • The EXTRACT Control Statement panel (EXTRACT CONTROL STATEMENT PANEL) builds control statements to allocate an extract file. Log Analyzer writes all log records that are associated with LUOWs of interest to this file.
  • The INDEXFILE Control Statement panel (which is similar to (EXTRACT CONTROL STATEMENT PANEL) to builds control statements to allocate an index file. The Log Analyzer ISPF interface uses this file during interactive analysis of LUOWs.
  • The WORKFILE Control Statement panel (which is similar to (EXTRACT CONTROL STATEMENT PANEL) builds control statements to allocate a work file. Log Analyzer uses this file to sort log records that it reads from an input extract file.
