Use the log browse utility (BBORLOG) to view log stream files.
Parameter | Description |
---|---|
log stream name | The name of the log stream. See the job messages for the name of the log stream. |
format option | 80 The default. The log stream record is formatted on a lrecl length of 80 characters. Additional lines are wrapped. NOFORMAT Turns off formatting. The error log message isplays as one log message string in the browse file. |
|
This optional keyword parameter specifies the formatted record length for the output data set. When you use this parameter, it must follow the log stream name and format option parameters in order. However, if you specify this parameter, the format option is an optional positional parameter. If you specify NOFORMAT for the format option parameter, the default value is 4096. If the format option parameter value is 80, this parameter value defaults to 80. The value range for this parameter is 80 to 32752. |
|
This optional keyword parameter is the non-fully qualified data set name for the output data set. When you use this parameter, it must follow the log stream name and format option parameters in order. The default value for this parameter is the name of the log stream. |
Important: Each time BBORBLOG is invoked a static file is created which overwrites the existing file. In order to refresh the file, it is necessary to re-issue BBORBLOG

There are several valid methods with separate commands to invoke the browser. The following example shows these different methods:
ex 'BBO.SBBOEXEC(BBORBLOG)' 'BBO.BOSSXXXX' ex 'BBO.SBBOEXEC(BBORBLOG)' 'BBO.BOSSXXXX 80' ex 'BBO.SBBOEXEC(BBORBLOG)' 'BBO.BOSSXXXX NOFORMAT'
ex 'BBO.SBBOEXEC(BBORBLOG)' 'bbo.bossxxxx NOFORMAT reclen=5200 outdsn=bbos001.stc00123.bborblog' ex 'BBO.SBBOEXEC(BBORBLOG)' 'bbo.bossxxxx NOFORMAT outdsn=bbos001.stc00456.bborblog' ex 'BBO.SBBOEXEC(BBORBLOG)' 'bbo.bossxxxx 80 reclen=200'
Tip:: It is easier to invoke the browser if you add the target library (in our example, BBO.SBBOEXEC) to the SYSEXEC concatenation of the user logon procedure during the WebSphere Application Server for z/OS® installation. If you concatenate the library during installation, you do not have to specify the library containing the browser REXX exec- you only need to specify BBORBLOG.
