The problem was caused by an operator forgetting to do a W CLOSE before running our process that copies the syslog to a data set. This caused the creation of the data set in an uncataloged state. The next time the process was started, (24 hours later), the uncataloged data set killed the process that normally automatically starts a new syslog. (this process has been in place for years and this was the first failure in my time)
The WRITELOG START did the trick. Thanks, all you help is greatly appreciated.

The command was issued to stop the syslog to write it out. Normally a new syslog is created. Unfortunately this time that didn't happen. We are now using the logger data set on this partition, just the hard copy. Does anyone know how to get a new syslog out there? This is on z/OS 1.4.
