I know that John specifically asked about writing to JESLOG. If it would satisfy his requirement to write into the JESMSG file, there is a standard, documented interface for writing messages there. No possibility of going to syslog regardless of system settings.

(will look at the manuals tomorrow, to confirm) .. I seem to remember a difference in behavior (if you're using ROUTCDE=11) between LINKAGE=SVC (default) and LINKAGE=BRANCH. IIRC, LINKAGE=BRANCH will not allow the message to be sent to SYSMSG .... or do I have that mixed up ?? .. Please note that there are limitations in doing this. Further, is a SYSOUT DD coded when you use the ROUTECDE=11 ?.

The code could then do a PUT with an ACB= and RPL= to write to the JESLOG like a VSAM ESDS file. This avoided any chance of going to the SYSLOG like sometimes happens with WTO ROUTCDE=11. Does anybody else remember this or have the code? John McKown Systems Engineer IV IT Administrative Services Group HealthMarkets(r) 9151 Boulevard 26 * N.
