    This requirement has been re-assessed.  We do not plan to implement it since it is very z Specific but more importantly because the z/OS Assembler Services guide has a section on system logger services. These are services that provide ways to manipulate log data. With these services, one can write, browse, and delete log data. Also, products like IMS and CICS provide their own log managers.
