Q:

How do you copy a z/OS journal for later use by CICS/FRS?


A:

You must use IBM journal utility program DFHJUP as follows.

For SYSUT1:
SUBSYS=(LOGR,DFHLGCNV,LOCAL,COMPAT41),DCB=BLKSIZE=32760

For SYSUT4, use the following DCB:
DCB=(RECFM=VB,LRECL=32756,BLKSIZE=32760)

For SYSIN, use:
OPTION COPY NEWDCB (and END)
