See my previous comment regarding STARTED JOBS. This should allow you to just provide the 1 override.
The SDSF XDC command can also be used to capture the JESMSGLG prior to shutdown. I do not currently use started jobs MSGLEVEL=1 is what comes up in my case. This may be the default for STARTED JOBS (supplied in the absence of particular parameter). A quick search did not turn up where the MSGLEVEL=1 is being specified. HTH, <snip> I'm getting somewhere. While the JOBCLASS(STC) clearly shows MSGLEVEL=(2,1) when I look at an active stc I see //IFOM JOB MSGLEVEL=1 So now the question is why is the start ignoring the MSGLEVEL from JOBCLASS(STC)? We use OPS/MVS for automation and it just uses a normal S task. I don't want to try and alter all the starts to have MSGLEVEL=(1,1). That's what JOBCLASS(STC) is supposed to do. Or so I thought. </snip> ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
