The kernel and Kernel Manager output error, warning, and informational messages to the system event log file Syslog (Unix), Eventlog (Windows NT), and an ESDS VSAM file. (S/390 Mainframe) There are five levels of detail that can be written to the log. The level is set by the P4EVENTREPORTLEVEL environment variable, held in the [Pro4 Bus] section of a pro4v[n].ini file.
