How to clear and re-initialize the Logrec Data Set SYS1.LOGREC

It’s not uncommon for the SYS1.LOGREC dataset to fill up. Although you should dump the content of the SYS1.LOGREC to DASD or Tape to keep that information for future use (if you need to analyse a problem), you sometimes may simply wish to clear all its content and re-initialize it. The solution is to run IFCDIP00.


//IFCDIP00 JOB CLASS=A,MSGLEVEL=(1,1),MSGCLASS=X,NOTIFY=&SYSUID
//********************************************************************
//* CLEAR AND INITIALIZE HARDWARE EVENT RECORDER DATASET             *
//********************************************************************
//IFCDIP00 EXEC PGM=IFCDIP00
//SERERDS  DD  DSN=SYS1.LOGREC,DISP=OLD,
//             VOL=SER=MVSRES,
//             UNIT=3390

In this example we will clear and re-initialize the content of SYS1.LOGREC located on volume MVSRES.
