The KDCCSYSL tool - editing the SYSLOG file

The editing tool KDCCSYSL converts a SYSLOG file into another file which can be processed with the user’s evaluation tool program or the KDCPSYSL tool. Each UTM message in this new file comprises a record of variable length and is stored in the following format:

SL FIL

2 bytes; content: binary record length (length of message + 4) 2 bytes; content: blanks

The structure of the individual UTM messages is described by the data structures kcmsg.h (C) or KCMSGC (COBOL). The messages do not contain a message text.
You can find the data structures for the UTM messages in the following locations:

Unix and Linux systems:

• utmpath/include/kcmsg.h or

• utmpath/copy-cobol85/KCMSGC (Micro Focus COBOL compiler) or

• utmpath/netcobol/KCMSGC (NetCOBOL compiler)

Windows systems:

• utmpath\include\kcmsg.h or

• utmpath\copy-cobol85\KCMSGC (Micro Focus COBOL compiler)
