Barbara, It may very well be that SYSLOG has always stopped at either $PJES2 or the Z EOD command being issued. I don't remember it that way nor does anyone else in the shop. So for us, it's something new and exciting.... We've updated OPERLOG to duplex so that we don't lose shutdown logs when a coupling facility may be shutdown or abnormally terminates.
IBM has work to do for SMF or any CF based logstream... Logger should always harden the SMF data at shutdown to the archive datasets, currently it does not do so reliably.
