How to submit the PRINT LOG statement

When to use PRINT LOG

Use the PRINT LOG utility only when the system log is being written to the DDLDCLOG area of the data dictionary.

When not to use PRINT LOG

If the system log is assigned to one or more sequential files, you should use the appropriate operating system utility (for example, IEBGENER for z/oS systems or DITTO for z/VSE systems) to print the contents of the log file.
