Don:
Great pointer, thanks.
John M: I am not clear as to why you need this. I do not think that a
system resource should be used for sending reports to . Seems dubious
at best.
There are products like RMDS (and others) that would seem more apropos.

I'm not sure how much the unix style syslogs are really used on z/OS.
A more "native" solution would be to use the System Logger.

idea. Which I have not fleshed out yet. But I'd appreciate your
feedback.
As most know, it is possible to create a "subsystem" which can be
referenced in a DD statement via the SUBSYS= parameter. I was
wondering if
it would be of any use to write such a beastie which sends the
records to
the UNIX syslog daemon? Of course, this wouldn't be for reports,
but might
be useful for a DD which is for "status message" type information.
Perhaps
like those written to the MSGUSR DD in CICS.
Possible example:
//USERLOG DD SUBSYS=(SLOG,"FACILITY=LOCAL7,SEVERITY=INFO"),
// DCB=(...)
I was also thinking that the SLOG would insert the job name, job
number,
and an ISO8601 format timestamp into the message.
Am I again looking for a solution to a non-existent problem? Not
that it
bothers me much when I get a "wild hare".
