issuing console command via CONSOLE+GETMSG without occurring in the syslog

2012-03-08 Thread Dr. Stephen Fedtke 
hi all,

is it possible to issue a console command via CONSOLE+GETMSG in a rexx
without the resulting messages occurring in the syslog?

thanks for your help

I am not sure about your environment, but in mine we have CA OPS/MVS which
can suppress most things from SYSLOG if we set it up.  So, yes it is
possible from an automation tool.  What command was issued and what was the
response that is not in SYSLOG?  It helps to have a fuller picture.

Or do you want your rexx to not display the command and response in syslog?

Stephen,

you wrote syslog, -- I write SYSLOG in majuscel as seen in IBM manuals 
as abbrevation for system log. You did not ask for OPERLOG, hardcopy 
log, operator console, master console etc (I am not sure about 
permutation of minuscel and majuscel). Then, SYSLOG as described in MVS 
Planning: Operations is just the data set of your primary job entry 
system's spool space (I would assume JES2 or JES3). So, I would not expect 
console output to appear in that data set unless explicitly requested by 
e.g. requesting the MVS console command LOG.

However, thinking a little bit further: the SYSLOG can be defined as media 
for the hardcopy log. Then, things are a little bit different. For 
example, we have set up our CONSOLxx parmlib member to always record 
command responses to hardcopy log -- from any console, including eMCS 
consoles. Because of this: yes, all our messages from REXX eMCS consoles 
are also occurring in SYSLOG.

Cheers
Michael
