My advice is to have a subroutine/function in your REXX that converts one or more physical lines from the ISFLINE stem into a logical message.
This will mean processing multiple ISFLINE variables when you encounter a multi-line WTO using the indicators in the first 2 bytes of ISFLINE and the correlation number ('nnn') - for example : MR0000000 SYS1 yyyyddd hh:mm:ss.th jobname xxxxxxxx msgid text nnn LR nnn title_text DR nnn data_text DR nnn data_text ER nnn last_data_text Rob Scott Rocket Software -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU> On Behalf Of ibmmain Sent: 20 September 2021 17:03 To: IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU Subject: How to use the FILTER command for OPERLOG in batch EXTERNAL EMAIL Hi Rob Thanks for your help! I have another question. When we use the SDSF “FILTER" command on the operlog, the output of "FILTER" is the complete messages ( for multi-line messages) If we use "POS" or "INDEX" on the OPERLOG rows, how to handle multi-line messages? Thanks a lot!

In 1995, SDSF added some special case code so that FILTER would work in TSO/ISPF with the "LOG O" panel , however it appears this was never implemented into the REXX interface. We will take a look to see if there were architectural reasons why this is the case or whether this is just an omission (or a regression). Local testing shows that the ISFFILTER special variable is ignored for "ISFLOG READ TYPE(OPERLOG)" function calls on z/OS 2.3 and 2.4. In the meantime, I suggest you implement some sort of REXX exec filtering using functions like "POS" or "INDEX" on the OPERLOG rows that are returned in the ISFLINE stem variables.
