Formatting a LOGR couple data set

Use the sample JCL to run the format utility for formatting couple data sets for the system logger service. The sample in Figure 1 shows formatting for both a primary and alternate couple data set for the LOGR policy.

//* COUPLE DATA SET ALLOCATION RULES: 
//*
//*   1. SYSPLEX NAME IS REQUIRED AND IS 1-8 CHARACTERS 
//*   2. SYSPRINT DD IS A REQUIRED DD STATEMENT FOR FORMAT UTILITY MESSAGES
//*   3. SYSIN DD IS A REQUIRED DD STATEMENT FOR FORMAT UTILITY CONTROL STATEMENTS

Note: If you want the LOGR policy to be in an SMS-managed volume, specify the storage and management classes on the DEFINEDS statement. The parameter for storage class is STORCLAS. The parameter for management class is MGMTCLAS. For detailed information, see the description of the DEFINEDS parameters.
