Great and Powerful 3000L-ers,

I have tried several ways to produce a virtual console log in batch, but am having no luck.

    - LOGTOOL gives errors that "User Interrupts could not be enabled" and will not process the LIST request.
    - CONSLOG gives the error "Operating system revision level incompatibility", and stops without further action at release 6.5.  My version is from the 1999XL CSL.
    - CLUE3000 will not accept input when using the ",SETUP" entry point in batch to update the starting and stopping log files; and is abending trying to file LOG0000.
    - LOGREADR does not print the entire console log, but rather would require a breakdown of jobs and sessions, separately.

Interactively, I can make either LOGTOOL or CLUE3000 do exactly what I want, but can't seem to automate this process.

Help.

Below is the job I would like to use for CLUE3000, but as stated above, I cannot get it to accept input following the "SETUP" entry point.

!JOB JCONSLOG,MANAGER.SYS,PUB;HIPRI

I have tried every combination of STDIN logic I can imagine or have found documented.  I have made the referenced file a message file, specified STDIN=, added blank lines in front of the value, etc.  The exact same code written above works perfectly when typed interactively.

If anyone can see what's wrong, or suggest a fix, I'm all ears.  Also, if someone else has a solution for extracting all console records from the LOGs at a set time, that would work, too.  My goal is to process all system log files just before my nightly full system backup, to produce a virtual console log.  Having done that, and backed them up, the files will be purged.  I will not know what numeric ranges of logs or how many will be processed until I begin.

Thanks in advance,
