Problem
This document explains how to copy the BRMS flight recorders to a text file so it can be displayed on a PC.
Resolving The Problem
To copy the BRMS flight recorders to a text file so they can be viewed with Notepad or WordPad, do the following:
CPY OBJ('/QIBM/UserData/BRMS/logs/flightrec') TOOBJ('/QIBM/UserData/BRMS/logs/flightrec.txt') TOCCSID(*PCASCII) DTAFMT(*TEXT)
CPY OBJ('/QIBM/UserData/BRMS/logs/flightrec.bku') TOOBJ('/QIBM/UserData/BRMS/logs/flightrecbku.txt') TOCCSID(*PCASCII) DTAFMT(*TEXT)
The CCSID of the .txt file must be 37 to be viewable on the PC. The following must be performed after the copy:
CPY OBJ('/QIBM/UserData/BRMS/logs/flightrec') TOOBJ('/QIBM/UserData/BRMS/logs/flightrec.txt') TOCCSID(*PCASCII) DTAFMT(*TEXT)
CPY OBJ('/QIBM/UserData/BRMS/logs/flightrec.bku') TOOBJ('/QIBM/UserData/BRMS/logs/flightrecbku.txt') TOCCSID(*PCASCII) DTAFMT(*TEXT)
The CCSID of the .txt file must be 37 to be viewable on the PC. The following must be performed after the copy:
CHGATR OBJ('/QIBM/UserData/BRMS/logs/flightrec.txt') ATR(*CCSID) VALUE(37)
CHGATR OBJ('/QIBM/UserData/BRMS/logs/flightrecbku.txt') ATR(*CCSID) VALUE(37)
CHGATR OBJ('/QIBM/UserData/BRMS/logs/flightrecbku.txt') ATR(*CCSID) VALUE(37)
Optional: ZIP the .txt file
- NOTE: For customers that are not on the March 2020 BRMS PTF fightrec data will be in folder '/TMP/BRMS' instead of '/QIBM/UserData/BRMS/logs'.
The flightrec.txt file can be zipped to reduce the size to approximately 10% of the original if Qshell is installed on the system (57xxSS1 Option 30).
Start the Qshell interpreter with command QSH and execute the following command to zip the file:
jar cfM /QIBM/UserData/BRMS/logs/flightrec.txt.zip /QIBM/UserData/BRMS/logs/flightrec.txt
Note: The zip is complete when a $ is returned.
This will create the flightrec.txt.zip file in directory /QIBM/UserData/BRMS/logs/.
FTP or use Operations Navigor to drag and drop it to a folder on a PC. The file can then be attached to an e-mail.
Notes:
| 1. | It may be necessary to open the file with WordPad first and save it before being able to see the formatted version of the file using Notepad. |

Any stream file (STMF) can be copied in this way.
