RE: API to retrieve messages from history log

you can dsplog to spool file, then copy spooled file to a PF and extract what 
you want out of PF.

Or, take your backups in a CL, and record start and end times in there, before 
and after save command.

hope it helps

Rob, 

Thanks for your response, we currently use DSPLOG but I am looking for a way to 
be able to check the history log via an RPG program.

Here is what I am trying to accomplish.  Currently we do two daily backups, one 
set of information around 2am (batch) and a different set around 5am 
(interactive).  In the morning we use DSPLOG to check for these two backups and 
record the start time, stop time and tapes used.  I was hoping for an API 
because I would like automate this and I didn't see an *OUTFILE option on the 
DSPLOG command.  

Any ideas?

Mike

Couldn't find any "API".  But DSPLOG does it quite nice.

Does anyone know of an API that can be used to retrieve messages from the 
history log?
