As far as reading the log, what regular text editor are you using?
Notepad++ is popular with Windows users and free of charge. Perhaps try
DSPF/WRKLNK from a green screen.

There is a very good chance that the log contents are in EBCDIC, and
not all "regular" text editors can handle that. The most reliable
thing to use is DSPF, which (1) usually does a good job detecting the
character encoding and displaying human-readable text if possible, and
(2) has a hex mode in case you need it.

WRKLNK is a good way to traverse the IFS. You will eventually wind up
using DSPF (option 5) or EDTF (option 2) if you go that route.
