How to save job logs into datasets using REXX


I just got a task to check hundreds of jobs in SDSF.ST and save these job logs into specified datasets. I think I should automate this task using REXX but actually not familiar with the language. Having searched on Google, I still can't find a workable solution.

Anyone has any experience on this?


Solution

  • Take a look at the Rexx interface to SDSF. As this is a language with which you are unfamiliar, you will likely find use for the programming reference and user's guide. The Rexx Language Association has some links that may be helpful in getting up to speed, but Rexx was designed to be easy to learn and use so you shouldn't have too much trouble.

    You could also use the XDC line command if that's quicker than writing a program.
