Question
QUESTION: I am using the command DSPAUDJRNE to log all the commands. It also records the commands which a program is using. So if the program is called again and again, these commands are written in the log again and again which makes the log bulky. "So is there any way I can exclude the commands used in a CL program(s) from the log and include only those which are typed on the command line"?

ANSWER: There is a LOG option on the CRTCLPGM command that controls logging of CL program commands. Try recompiling the program with option LOG(*NO).

QUESTION: Thanks for your reply. But in this way we have to recomplie all those program which a user(QSECOFR) will be using which we actually don't know. so we can't complie each program. I could found other solution for this, could you verify it..
That is - The system file QASYCDJ4 has a field 'CDCLP' which is a Yes/No flag. This field can tell us whether the command logged is run from a CL program or from the command line. And then we can filter out the command run from a CL program.

Answer
Yes, the CDCLP flag indicates whether the command was run from a CL or REXX program.  Another way to possibly accomplish what you're trying to do might be to use the LOGCLPGM option on the CHGJOB command for users whose CL commands you do not want to log.
