Processing ad hoc log files in batch
You can use the Transaction Analysis Workbench ISPF dialog to generate
JCL that processes the log files in your personal ad hoc list (ISPF
dialog option 4
).
Using your personal ad hoc list offers a private alternative to using
sessions.
Creating formatted record reports
You can use the Transaction Analysis Workbench ISPF dialog to create batch reports that reproduce the formatting that the ISPF dialog displays when you browse an individual log record. These batch reports are known as formatted record reports .
Creating extracts of log files in your ad hoc list
Rather than working with original log files, you might find it more convenient to work with smaller extracts that contain only the log records that interest you.
Creating CSV files from log files in your ad hoc list
You can use Transaction Analysis Workbench to save data from any supported log record type to a comma-separated values (CSV) file. You can use the CSV file with other applications, such as PC-based spreadsheet applications. A CSV file created by Transaction Analysis Workbench contains selected fields from a single log record type and code.
