Hi folks, re 'direction of OS390 commands in batch'  When I run my
Query of the activity log the output always comes out on 2 lines (date &
time on one line and message on the other) is there any way to get this to
truncate and come out on one line?  An example of my JCL/commands is as
follows
>
> //SYSTSIN  DD  * DSMADMC  -ID=REPORTER -PA=REPORTER -
>
>      "Q ACTLOG BEGINDATE=-1 BEGINTIME=21:00" - "ENDDATE=-1
>      ENDTIME=22:00 SEARCH='BKUPPOOLC1' OR=SE"
> /*
