Ken, A product like OPS/MVS has an Log BROWSE function that allows you to select or eliminate messages from view.
So if I wanted to look at all of syslog but did not want to see the IGD messages, I could use OPS/Browse to do that. Before OPS/MVS came in shop, I would spin SYSLOG off to a data set (using SAS) and have it write out everything execpt the messages I did not want to see. Lizette > > That's good to know.
