Querying actlog with option MSGNO can only be done with one argument, this should be extendend to use more arguments

The search in Actlog with the msgno option should be extended so that it is possible to search for several message numbers.

For example, msgno=0293,0294 should be possible in a query so that you can see the start and end of an action, therefore you do not need two seperate queries.

    This can be possibly achieved by scripting, as follows to search for multiple message ids from actlog - for example for message ids 'ANR0423W' and 'ANR0944E' one can use the following from the shell prompt: 

    # declare -a arr=("0423" "0944"); for msgno in "${arr[@]}"; do  dsmadmc -id=admin -pa=password q actlog msgno=$msgno begind=-1 begint=09:50 endd=today; done > msgANR0423W_ANR0423W.out

    IBM has evaluated the request, and has determined that it can not be implemented at this time. This request may be resubmitted for consideration after 18 months from the date of submission. The request submitter will automatically be notified by email when the request qualifies for reconsideration and resubmission.


    Will add a workaround here in the comments..
