Columns 41 through 48 in the z/OS SYSLOG (formatted with a 4 digit year in
columns 21-27) have various information in them. For many messages, it is the
JES assigned number such as JOB12345. For a commands and command responses it
appears to the be console name or for a MLWTO response the "continuation
number". For an "S" line it is blank because that means the line is a
continuation of the above output line ("N" or "S").
But, for WTOs issued by started tasks which are running under the MSTR
subsystem, it is blank instead of having the JES jobid ("N" lines, that is). So
there's no way to know which task issued the message. I guess that most of the
time, this doesn't really matter. But I was thinking, perhaps poorly, that
where the JES jobid would be, wouldn't it be useful to have the ASID of the
address space? Perhaps formatted as ASIDhhhh where hhhh is the hex value of the
ASID? I am wondering if one of the WTO exits could be used to implement this. I
guess that I'll look and see.
