Re: QSH Messages

All true, but consider that ACS can navigate the IFS much easier and when
the file is opened for inspection, you can save it locally. Translation
done for you. Now you can use whatever tool makes you happy to review the
contents.

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.
