Collecting ISPF logs

When a CLI command is executed in the ISPF panel, ISPF log data is automatically collected to an
ISPF log dataset.

Checking ISPF logs

Check the ISPF log showing the operation history for the ISPF panel.

Procedure

1.

In the ISPF Primary Option Menu panel, select 7 (Dialog Test).

The Primary Option panel appears.

2.

Select 5 (Log).

The Browse log panel appears, displaying the contents of the ISPF log.

Preventing the ISPF log dataset from becoming full

If you use the ISPF panel for CLI command operations for a long time, the ISPF log dataset might
become full. This could cause a CLI command to terminate abnormally. To prevent such a problem,
perform the following if you want to use the ISPF panel for a long time for CLI command operations.
