PLOG - Logging of Dynamic Parameters

This Natural profile parameter only applies in batch mode, under TSO and under CICS.

It enables you to print a list of all profile parameters that were specified dynamically at the start of the session. This may be useful to ascertain which dynamic profile parameters were actually used, particularly if profile parameters like PROFILE or SYS are specified, which in turn "contain" other profile parameters (for a PROFILE or SYS parameter, the entire string of profile parameters activated by it is listed).

Possible settings ON In batch mode: At session start, a list of the dynamically specified profile parameters and their settings is written to the output dataset CMPLOG. (If CMPLOG is not available, the list is written to the standard output dataset CMPRINT.)
In online mode under TSO: At session start, a list of the dynamically specified profile parameters and their settings is written to the output dataset CMPLOG. (If CMPLOG is not available, the list is sent to the terminal.)
In online mode under CICS: At session start, a list of the dynamically specified profile parameters and their settings is sent to the terminal.
OFF No list of dynamic profile parameters is written.
Default setting OFF
Dynamic specification yes

When specified dynamically, the PLOG parameter applies to all subsequent dynamic profile parameters until the next PLOG specification. This allows you to exclude individual parameters from being printed, for example, if their settings contain passwords or other sensitive information that should not be printed.

All dynamic parameters which are specified between a PLOG=OFF specification and a subsequent PLOG=ON specification are not printed.

Specification within session no
