Writing Information to the system log: the LOG request

An application program can write a record to the system log by issuing the LOG call.

When you issue the LOG request, you specify the I/O area that contains the record you want written to the system log. You can write any information to the log that you want, and you can use different log codes to distinguish between different types of information.
