Monitoring by SAT-specific job variable

The status of the SAT logging and the name of the current SATLOG file can be monitored using a job variable. This job variable has the fixed name
:<home-catid>:$SYSAUDIT.SYS.SAT.SATLOG-FILENAME. It is assigned values by SAT whenever the SATLOG file is changed and whenever the SAT status changes. If it does not exist it is automatically created under the SYSAUDIT ID on the home pubset.

From the start of a system run up to the first change of the SATLOG file the content of the job variable is undefined.

The structure of the job variable corresponds to that of job-monitoring job variables (see the “Job Variables” manual [31]). The following entries have SAT-specific meanings:
