RE: API to retrieve messages from history log

Thanks everyone for your suggestions.  I think I'll go with CPYSPLF.  It's not 
as clean as I would like but it will get me all the information I need in one 
place.

Thanks again,

Mike

Good point.

There's always CPYSPLF.

Then there's
CRTPF FILE(QTEMP/DUH) RCDLEN(150)
OVRDBF FILE(QPDSPLOG) TOFILE(QTEMP/DUH) LVLCHK(*NO)

You can't do a DSPMSG QHST.  But there's where they stay until they get 
written to the QHST* files.  WRKF QSYS/QHST*

An api would be so much better.  Then it would be release independent and 
you wouldn't have to "trust" IBM to not move the fields around in the 
output.

RE: API to retrieve messages from history log






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?
