I The system adds dayfile messages to one or more of the
dayfiles when:
o The system processes a control statement or a
system action occurs which is not in direct
response to a control statement (such as an error
message).
• The system detects an error.
• A user enters a comment either via a COMMENT
control statement or MESSAGE macro.
o You enter a message at the console.
When a job terminates, the system sends the messages to
the account dayfile which contains a record of the
resources charged to the jQb. In addition, control-point
dayfile entries are printed at the end of a job's output. The
system dayfile, which includes entries for all jobs
processed, is available as a record of all action taken since
deadstart. Although the A display shows only the entries
I
currently in the dayfile buffer, you can obtain the entire
contents by dumping the file to a print file or tape unit.
Messages on the A display appear in the following formats.
System dayfile messages:
time.jobname.message.
I
Account dayfile messages:
time.jobname.activity,additional information.
Error log dayfile messages:
tim e.jobnam e. message.
The time is the time of day as entered into the system at
deadstart or by a TIME command to DSD. For example, if
the system is deadstarted at 8:00 a.m. and the time is
entered at deadstart, the time in 10 minutes is 08.10.00. If
the . time was not entered at deadstart, the time in 10
minutes
is
00.10.00.· The time is followed by the name of
the job associated with the message and the message
itself. As a job is processed, messages are sent to the
dayfile by PP programs or central memory programs.
The job name is a combination of several parameters which
describe the job. The first seven characters are the
system-assigned job name and the eighth character
indicates the origin of the job. The job name is constructed
as follows:
System origin jobs
The first field consists of the first four characters
of the utility function specified. If fewer than
four characters are entered, the field is
zero-filled. The next field consists of the three
rightmost characters of the job sequence number,
which ranges from AAA to ZZZ. For example, if
the operator enters X.PFS, the job name may be
PFSOAACS. If X.BLANK is entered, the job name
may be BLANAADS. The eighth character for
system origin jobs is S.
60435600
L
Batch origin and Remote Batch Facility jobs
The first four characters are derived from the
user index associated with the user number
supplied on the USER statement. The next three
characters are the rightmost characters of the job
sequence number. The eighth character for batch
origin jobs is B.
Time-sharing origin and Export/Import jobs
I
The first four characters are derived from the
user index associated with the user number
supplied by the user when he logs into the system.
The next three characters represent the number
of the terminal on which the user is logged in for
time-sharing jobs and the job sequence number for
remote batch jobs. The eighth character is T for
time-sharing jobs and E for remote batch jobs.
The activity given in account dayfile messages is a unique
four-character identifier which defines a particular
activity. The first character identifies the information
group; the second character, the event 'which caused the
message to be entered into the account file; and the third
and fourth characters, the activity being recorded. The
purpose of this field and the additional information which
follows it is to record system us_age and provide a means of
accurately billing users. Complete descriptions of account
file activity messages can be found in the NOS System
Maintenance Reference Manual.
Each control statement executed, including the job
I
statement, is entered into the dayfile. The dayfile may be
observed as follows:
• On the console screen (A display), the file is
moved up the display screen as messages are
generated.
oAt the end of a job's printed _output, all dayfile
messages associated with that job are printed.
However, time-sharing origin (TXOT) jobs must
request the dayfile listing via terminal command.
If the A display is on the left screen, you can alternate
between the system dayfile and a control-point dayfile
using + and - keys. The + and - keys page the A display
through each control-point dayfile forward and backward,
respectively. After the last control point, the display
returns to the system dayfile. The right screen is paged
with the left and the right parentheses keys.
To dump a dayfile to a specified equipment, type:
