Format of messages in a RAS1 log
A RAS1 log for a monitoring agent on z/OS® includes the following information:
- Environmental information
- Operating system and CPU data. This information is prefaced with the
following string:

Where:
Variable Description ppp Is the component prefix (See Table 5 for a list of component prefixes). xx The component code (for example, NS Node Status). mmm The module name (for example mdg/mgr for Model/Manager). - Initial command line settings
- Operating system and CPU data. This information is prefaced with the
following string:
- Component summary, including the following:
- The name of the module.
- Information about where the library was loaded from.
- The date and time the module was compiled.
- The version (if this detail was specified).
- Formatted output, including entry and exit points and text strings. Entry and
exit points show flow into and out of a given function. The exit shows the
return code, if applicable. The text depends on the kind of trace specified. The
following is an example:
(00D41 F9C-1{99%}:KV4MAIN.CPP,953,"MainWnd::MainWnd") Entry (00D41 FD3-1{99%}:KV4MAIN.CPP,959,"MainWnd::MainWnd") Exit Time,Thread,{%stack avail},pgm_name,Line#,function,text
As noted earlier, not all functions are RAS1 enabled, and trace level may exclude some paths. Be aware of issues involved with the granularity of this statement.
