Error description
There is currently no print capability for Canzlog data, which makes serviceability difficult and requires customers to use NETLOG for audit purposes if they want an easily readable log. Note: This function is intended for full function NetView users.

Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: Users of IBM NetView for z/OS who want to * * print Canzlog log messages in the NetView * * program. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Users of IBM NetView for z/OS do not * * currently have a convenient way to * * print Canzlog messages. * **************************************************************** Although there is a section entitled 'Printing the Canzlog Log (Using the Canzlog API)' in IBM NetView for z/OS knowledge center describes a method of how to print Canzlog log, users are not satisfied with the limited information and the simple example in that section. They said in the past before IBM NetView for z/OS has Canzlog feature, DSIPRT is very useful and convenient to print the NetView log, but now for Canzlog, they don't have a easy way any more. They are eager to have a new feature in IBM NetView for z/OS for Canzlog Print.
Problem conclusion
Temporary fix
Comments
IBM NetView for z/OS provides a new functionality for Canzlog Print. It enables user to print Canzlog messages by issuing PRINT command in either NCCF console, BROWSE window, or Canzlog Panel. The required parameters for PRINT command can be pre-configured in CNMSTYLE statements, therefore user can issue PRINT command without any parameters. User can specify a filter specification, output data set, prefixes, message details along with the PRINT command directly as well. NVINFO command is enhanced to print Canzlog messages. If user specifies both a data set name and a filter specification in the parameter of NVINFO command, the Canzlog messages filtered with the filter specification will be printed to the output data set as well as the original NVINFO information. This new feature is not available to IBM Automation Control for z/OS customers.
