Any LOGREC Code Snippets Out There?

[Lizette Koehler]

Hi,



I have a need to summarize Logrec data based on UCB. So I only care about
hardware records (for now).



If anyone has any pointers - that will be helpful. I am also looking at a
SAS/MXG solution as well.



What I need in my report is the following





Date Time UCB Type Event



2013-05-23 00.00 123A 3390 OBR (LONG)

2013-05-24 17.00 13AB 3490 OBR





And so on. Time (hour or Hour/Minute based) is optional, but if added I
might be able to do a time graph later.



We have some very old hardware and I am trying to show management how many
errors and which type over time. And the Logrec reports are very big and
wordy for what I want. I may put in a Share request to get a summary
function (yes there are some already) more like what I want. ;-o



If someone has something to share, I will be very grateful.





Thanks for any guidance.



Lizette

I don't know "LOGREC", but if you're talking about SMF records then the last
I tried it, you can't read them directly in REXX because they're VBS, where
the 'S' stands for "spanned"; native REXX won't handle that, at least the
interpreted version. So if I wanted to handle them in REXX, the first thing
I'd do is look for some way either to convert them to some RECFM that REXX
can read, or for an add-on to REXX - there's probably something in the CBT
collection - that will enable REXX to read them directly.

Or be patient. It has been announced that in z/OS 2.1, Rexx
will be RECFM=U-savvy. So you could override the attributes
in allocation and decode the SDWs yourself.

Or, nowadays, you can likewise override to RECFM=U; read
blocks with ISPF LMGET, and decode the SDWs yourself. I
know LMGET will deal with RECFM=U; I don't know that it
will deal with RECFM=VBS.

Isn't z/OS fun?
