In all shops I've been at sysprogs and operators get syslog. In many of them application programmers get it, but not in all shops. "End users" usually rarely if ever get access to it. OPERLOG is usually restricted to operations and sysprogs more often than not in my experience. From a non-sysprog perspective, all the extra messages would probably be more confusing than anything to an application programmer. Also, with many shops, due to consolidations or maybe a service provider with a sysplex of different business units or companies in the same sysplex, you wouldn't want the average programmer to be able to get to the syslog data from another LPAR via operlog.
