If you want 

Log Analyzer

 to read multiple extract data sets, specify multiple instances of the INPEXT keyword.

Warning

Note

If you specify the INPEXT keyword, you must also specify the WORKFILE control statement to define a sort work file. Log Analyzer uses this work file to sort the extracted log records. For more information, see Specifying-EXTRACT-INDEXFILE-and-WORKFILE-control-statements.

No default value is provided for the INPEXT keyword. If you omit the INPEXT keyword, Log Analyzer does not read any extract data sets.

INPEXT=(BMCLUI.LOSANGEL.D2007102.EXTRACT)

INPEXT=(BMCLUI.PHOENIX.D2007102.EXTRACT)
