Examples of the use of the OPTION parameters

Depending on whether COMPAT41 has been specified on the SUBSYS parameter, log stream journal records are presented either:

In the record format used at CICS/ESA 4.1, or
In Version 5 Release 4 format.

The OPTION parameters can be used to select specific types of records from a journal. You need to specify the offset within the record at which these specific record types lie.

There are tables at the end of this section to help you define the OPTION statements that you need. Example statements are included here to illustrate some of the types of record selection that can be achieved in this way.
