The ADDLOG command defines a new log and start recording information in it.

ADDLog name [[DDNAMES(ddlist)] [DSNAMES(dsnlist)] [SYSOUT(class)]]

Parameters

name: 1‑ to 8‑character name for a log. To define a message log or trace log, specify MSGLOG or TRACE as the log name.
ddlist: DD statements in the CA-L‑Serv start‑up procedure where log files are defined. Specify up to four DD names, separated by commas or spaces.
dsnlist: Cataloged data sets that store log files. Specify up to four data set names, separated by commas or spaces.
class: Defines log files as SYSOUT data sets in the class you specify here. Specify a single SYSOUT class. To print log files, define them as SYSOUT data sets.

Note:

The ADDLOG commands are typically issued from the CA-L‑Serv parameter data set.
The ADDLOG commands that define message logs precede ATTACH commands. The ADDLOG commands that define change logs precede the ADDFILE commands for managed files.
