LOGGING

xx

suffix of the $$INLGxx member used to start logging

The $$INLGxx member contains control statements that define the services to be executed and control the logging process, including the output data set. This parameter also implies start.

dsname

name of the partitioned data set that contains the $$INLGxx member

If this parameter is omitted, the name you last specified is used. If you did not previously specify a dsname, the data set allocated to DDNAME BBPARM is used.

STOP

indicates that logging is to be stopped

FREE

indicates that the logging output data set is to be freed; FREE implies stop

STATUS

indicates that the status of the logging system is to be displayed

CLASS c

indicates that the logging output is to be written to a SYSOUT data set of the specified class; CLASS is mutually exclusive with the DSN statement

CMD command

command that is to be periodically executed

Use multiple CMD statements for multiple commands. Commands are executed in the order that they appear.

CNT n

specifies that logging is to be terminated when n number of cycles have been executed; also, see also STOP hhmm

DSN dsname

specifies that logging output is to be written to the preallocated data set dsname

If no CLASS or DSN statement is provided, and a data set has been allocated to DDNAME LOG, the output will be written to that data set. Otherwise, it will be written to SYSOUT=A.

EJC

indicates the output produced by the command that follows should start on a new page; the EJC statement should be followed by one or more CMD statements

INCR n

indicates the number (n) of seconds (increment) in an interval; default is 30 seconds; the product of INCR and INT determines the number of seconds between logging cycles

INT n

indicates the number (n) of intervals in a logging cycle; default interval is one; the product of INCR and INT determines the number of seconds between logging cycles

START hhmm

indicates the time (hhmm) that logging is to start; specify 1300 for 1:00 P.M.

Logging starts immediately if you do not provide a START statement.

STOP hhmm

indicates the time (hhmm) that logging is to terminate; specify 1200 for 12:00 P.M. (noon) and 2400 for 12:00 A.M. (midnight)

If you provide both CNT and STOP statements, logging will terminate when the first condition is reached.

HOLD

indicates that the SYSOUT output is to be held

If neither HOLD nor NOHOLD are specified, the default for the SYSOUT class will prevail. The HOLD statement is ignored if logging output is not written to a SYSOUT data set.

NOHOLD

indicates that the SYSOUT output is not to be held

If neither HOLD nor NOHOLD are specified, the default for the SYSOUT class will prevail. The NOHOLD statement is ignored if logging output is not written to a SYSOUT data set.

MAXOUT n

indicates the maximum number (n) of lines that will be written to a SYSOUT data set

Logging will be terminated when n lines have been written to SYSOUT. You can specify up to eight digits. The default is to write an infinite number of lines. MAXOUT is only applicable to SYSOUT data sets.
