Adding information about a data set to the BSDS (NEWLOG)
The NEWLOG function declares one of the following data sets:
- A VSAM data set that is available for use as an active log data set.
Use the keywords DSNAME, COPY1, COPY2, and PASSWORD.
- An active log data set that is replacing one that encountered an I/O error.
Use the keywords DSNAME, COPY1, COPY2, STARTRBA, ENDRBA, and PASSWORD.
- An archive log data set volume.
Use the keywords DSNAME, COPY1VOL, COPY2VOL, STARTRBA, ENDRBA, STRTLRSN, ENDLRSN, UNIT, CATALOG, and PASSWORD.
In a queue-sharing group environment, you should always supply LRSN information. Run the print log map utility (CSQJU004) to find RBAs and LRSNs to use for archive log data sets.
A maximum of 31 data sets can be defined for each log copy, either by this NEWLOG function or the MQSC DEFINE LOG command.
