PM80342: DOCUMENTATION FOR LOGSCOPE NEEDS TO BE IMPROVED

APAR status

• Closed as fixed if next.

Error description

• The DDL describes LogScope as, "This is normally used to
  indicate the origin of the log entry. It typically consists of
  the three strings (MACHINE_NAME, USER_NAME, and an application
  or interface ID) concatenated together."  But the log entries
  for that field typically look something like this:
  
  330387 -  11ebc68
  330486 -  11ebbf8
  171557 -  2d2bd8
  
  There is no documentation indicating what part of that string is
  associated with each bit of information, or how you would tie it
  back to a specific machine, user or application.  This needs to
  be properly documented for it to be useful data.
  

Local fix

• This issue will be addressed in a future release.
