APAR status

  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • The new "retry" option of the logger command (-r)
    while shown correctly as a simple option in the usage
    message,currently requires an option-argument; the
    command is indifferent to the actual value of
    the argument.
    
    This option (-r) retries sending a message when, and
    as long as, transient errors are encountered (instead
    of failing upon the first such error).
    
    The option is useful mainly when large batches of
    messages
    are to be logged.
    

Local fix

  • Follow -r with a value argument, e.g:  -r 1
    

Problem summary

  • Retry option of logger command requires unneeded
    option-argument.
    

Problem conclusion

  • Remove extraneous ':' for command's -r option.
