LOG keyword

You can use the LOG keyword to identify the input log data sets.

You can omit the LOG keyword under the following circumstances:

  • No log data sets are needed for the recovery.
  • Log data sets are needed for the recovery, but they are explicitly allocated with the DFSULOG DD statement in the JCL.
  • You want to allocate the log data sets dynamically, and you have specified the DSALLOC(Y) keyword.

Uses

Required on the LOG control statement. Optional on the following control statements:

  • AREC
  • GROUP
  • REC

Syntax

LOG(value)

Values

Specify one of the following values:

  • *—Dynamically allocate log data sets. DBRC must be active, as specified with DBRC(Y). The Recovery utility forces DSALLOC(Y) for the logs data set. For more information, see Allocation-of-input-data-sets.

  • ddname—Explicitly allocate the log data sets. Specify the ddname (1-8 characters) of the DD statement that describes the data sets. You can use concatenated multiple logs.

    Important

    Do not use SORT as the first four characters of the log ddname.

Default

None
