Retrieve information about a currently connected MVS log stream.
The INQUIRE STREAMNAME command allows you to look at information about a currently connected MVS log stream.
You can also browse through log stream names by using the browse options (START, NEXT, and END) on INQUIRE STREAMNAME commands. See Browsing resource definitions for general information about browsing, including syntax, exception conditions, and examples.
CICS returns a NOTFND condition if the log stream name does not exist, or if there are no longer any users of the log stream in this CICS region (see the USECOUNT option).
The use count is always at least 1, because CICS does not maintain any information about a log stream that no longer has any users, in which case an INQUIRE STREAMNAME command returns a NOTFND condition.
If the log stream name refers to the CICS system log, the use count is always 1. This is so, even when user application programs write recovery records to the CICS system log.
