ADDLOG Command

The ADDLOG command lets you define a new log and start recording information in it.

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

Operand	Explanation
DDNAMES	References 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.
DSNAMES	Identifies cataloged data sets that store log files. Specify up to four data set names, separated by commas or spaces.
name	Identifies the 1‑ to 8‑character name for a log. To define a message log or trace log, specify MSGLOG or TRACE as the log name.
SYSOUT	Defines log files as SYSOUT data sets in the class you specify here. Specify a single SYSOUT class. If you want to print log files, define them as SYSOUT data sets.

Note:

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

Examples

To define LOG1 as a SYSOUT data set in class A, issue this command:

ADDLOG LOG1 SYSOUT(A)

To define the CHNGLOG log through DD statements in the CA-L‑Serv start‑up procedure, issue this command:
```
ADDLOG CHNGLOG DDNAMES(CHNGLOG1,CHNGLOG2,CHNGLOG3)
```
