REXX/SDSF ISFLOG ' failure'

Hello,

Just curious if anyone can guide me towards a solution to the following:

1. I am running z/OS 1.11 (from the z1090 distribution)
2. I want to use ISFLOG to read data from SYSLOG
3. Rexx Code I'm using looks like this

/* REXX */

RC=ISFCALLS('ON')
ISFLINELIM="10"
ADDRESS SDSF "ISFLOG READ TYPE(SYSLOG)"
DO I = 1 TO ISFMSG2.0
SAY ISFMSG2.I
END
DO I = 1 TO ISFLINE.0
SAY ISFLINE.I
END

4. When executing :

ISF302E "UNQUOTED-STRING" was seen in command position 1 where one of the
follo
wing was expected: END-OF-STMT, ISFACT, ISFEXEC, ISFGET, ISFSLASH.
ISF767I Request completed.

Somehow making me think ISFLOG is not ' available ' ?

The books say : The ISFLOG command processes the logical log, which
requires that |the JES level be at least z/OS® V1R11. |For more
information, refer to
SYSLOG<http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/zos/v1r12/topic/com.ibm.zos.r12.isfa500/genhindx.htm#genhindx>
.

Are there any other things I need to implement before this ISFLOG works?

Thanks in advance

For the isflog function to work using rexx/sdsf, the system has to be at zos1.12

Bill,

Thanks for your reply.
Weird, because the docs state it should be at level 1.11 ;(

See http://ibmmainframeforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=6352 too.

Someone there states it's working under z/OS 1.11

I know the doc states that it will, I just can't seem to recall why it doesn't. Possibly just ptf's.

Is there any dependence on the JES Activation level?

Just found the answer. Most docs specify 1.11 as minimal but it seems
ISFLOG was only added in 1.12....

http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/ieduasst/stgv1r0/topic/com.ibm.iea.zos/zos/1.13/Application-Middleware-Workload_Enablement/zOS_V1R13_SDSF_REXX-Operlog-Support.pdf

" ...... SDSF/REXX was introduced in SDSF V1R9 and the ISFLOG command was
added in SDSF V1R12 to read or allocate syslog. ....."

Thanks for your help!

I added RC=ISFCALLS('OFF') before the last DO-END and it worked fine.
I am at z/os 1.12
