If you have CMS/TSO Pipelines available, it's trivial to fix these up as
you wish.  For example, if your ACTLOG data looks like ...

12/13/1999 09:06:45  ANR0422W Session 18240 for node RUMFORD1
(NetWare)
refused
                      - node name not registered.
12/13/1999 09:06:45  ANR0403I Session 18240 ended for node
RUMFORD1
(NetWare). 12/13/1999 09:09:27  ANR0406I Session 18241 started for
node
                      FRONTDESK.XXXXXX.MAINE.EDU (Win95) (Tcp/Ip
                      130.111.120.154(1027)).
12/13/1999 09:09:29  ANR0403I Session 18241 ended for node
                      FRONTDESK.XXXXXX.MAINE.EDU (Win95).

then the following PIPE filter will do the trick ...

   'callpipe *:|change /                     //',
      '|joincont leading / / keep|brw'
   exit rc*(rc<>12)

cheers, wayne
