I think it just allocates syslog/operlog returning the ddname in the isfddname variable. You then open and read it using SDSB (jes spool dataset browse).

Hi all, Greetings!! I would like to know if there are someone who can help me out in understanding the below commands. I would like to know what exactly the function does. Address SDSF "ISFLOG ALLOC TYPE(SYSLOG)" I have used Address SDSF "ISFLOG READ TYPE(SYSLOG)" which reads the syslog and puts the contents to special variable ISFLINE. But not sure what does "ALLOC" does. I have tried the manuals but I don't get much information on this apart from the Syntax and the Special DDNAMES. Can anyone guide me on this. Kind Regards, Vish.. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN This e-mail message has been scanned and cleared by Postini / Google Message Security and the UNICOM Global security systems.
