Exception Log File data set

You can specify a particular Exception Log File data set where information about exceptions is written. The contents of the Exception Log File data set can be either printed or loaded into a DB2® table for further investigation.

To retain log file data on the same data set across multiple Online Monitor sessions, specify APPEND for the disposition.

To dynamically allocate a new Exception Log File data set with the following attributes, specify NEW for the disposition:
RECFM:
VB
LRECL:
512
BLKSIZE:

The data set contains an entry for each field found in exception status.
