Formatting log records

You can display log records in several formats. The standard Transaction Analysis Workbench format uses knowledge modules to display log records organized into segments, with field names next to field values. Dump formats show raw log record data without using knowledge modules.

Procedure

  1. In the log browser, enter S next to a record that you want to display.
    By default, the log browser displays the record in standard Transaction Analysis Workbench format.
  2. Enter one of the following values in the Format field in the top-right corner of the panel:
    STD
    Standard Transaction Analysis Workbench format. This format uses knowledge modules to interpret log records: naming and organizing fields (based on DSECT mapping structures), and displaying field values according to their data type.

    Record segments are delineated by a blank line.

    Segment or field group names have a description.

    Field names are point-and-shoot. To zoom in to see more details of a field, move the cursor to the field name, and then press Enter.

    Field contents are displayed in different formats depending on the type of field:

    • Character data is enclosed in quotes
    • Numeric data is prefixed by + for positive values or - for negative values
    • Hexadecimal data and flags are hexadecimal digits
    • Dump fields are in dump format showing the offset within the field, the hexadecimal data, and EBCDIC character translation
    FORM
    Form-based Transaction Analysis Workbench format. Same as STD, but limited to displaying the fields defined in a form: either the form that you select in the Form field or, if you select the Use Form in Filter option, the form for the currently displayed record type named in the active filter.
    DUMP
    Dump format, similar to a SYSUDUMP dump data set.
