Fred, Could you provide a little more context? Are these console logs from z/VM's OPERATOR userid, or some heathen system?
Were the logs from a SPOOLed console, PROP, IBM's console management product (if it is marketed any more; I'm having a senior moment), CA's VM:Operator, or something else?

We post-process the operator's console log files to look for Action messages, writing them to a separate file. I use an XEDIT macro to do this. However, we only get the first line of such messages, which are often multi-line. I've looked at the 2x hex characters at the start of the line, to see if there is something unique about these messages, and whilst I've found that x'01' in column 2 appears to indicate the first line of an Action message, the x'11' present for the subsequent lines does not appear to be unique. Also, where is the format of the hex prefix for these log messages documented?
