Martin, First remark: Operlog does not manage the staging dataset, System Logger does. Operlog is only a user of System Logger.
If you can suffer the loss of data, you can delete the logstream and structure (and the remaining staging datasets) and recreate them. Kees. Ps. This newsgroup is a mirror of a listserver.
