Rob, That does address my concerns. This means my code works as well, which is nice😊. Many thanks. Lennie

(o) The "S" indicator will always follow an "N" because the message text for both lines is taken from the same MDB log block (in fact the same MDBT object). The decision to split the message text line is purely taken to emulate SYSLOG, and we could (if we wanted to) have a version of "LOG O" where we always format the message text in a single line. It would just mean a bit more horizontal scrolling on the user or bigger screen sizes (#team62x160) . (o) There will only be a single "S" as we split on 73 bytes of message text and 2x73 > maximum single WTO text length. Hope that helps Rob Scott Rocket Software ________________________________ From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <[email protected]> on behalf of Lennie Bradshaw <[email protected]> Sent: 02 September 2025 3:00 PM To: [email protected] <[email protected]> Subject: Syslog questions EXTERNAL EMAIL Greetings all, I have spent some time examining the structure of SYSLOG/OPERLOG in order to produce a message scanner that can produce whole message output (i.e. assembling multiple lines while selecting a single message id). I have a couple of questions that someone may be able to help me with, relating to single line WTO messages. 1. If a line in SYSLOG has the letter 'N' in the first position in SYSLOG/OPERLOG then it is for a single-line WTO. However, it can have a continuation line in SYSLOG/OPERLOG if the WTO overflows a single line. This secondary line has an 'S' in the first position. Will the 'S' line always follow immediately after the 'N' line? (i.e. could another line come between them? 2. Can there be more than one 'S' line for a 'N' line? 3. If so, will they always be kept together? Thanks in advance for any help.
