However I saw SSI function code 15 can be called in SRB mode that leads me to believe that there is no restriction on using the macro in SRB Mode That should lead you to believe that many SSI functions do not allow it. So while you "can" use the macro in SRB mode in some cases, you'd better m

I'm pretty sure that CP does not log guest messages to a virtual 3270, only to a virtual 3215. The OP could always define a virtual printer as an MCS console and process the SPOOL output. -- Shmuel (Seymour J.) Metz http://mason.gmu.edu/~smetz3 From: IB

Most likely what you've seen before was a guest with the console defined as 3215 and an MCS definition of that virtual device as a hardcopy console. I'm not aware of any mechanism for CP to capture syslog or operlog. -- Shmuel (Seymour J.) Metz http://mason.gmu.edu/~smetz3
