PM65239: SHOWLOG.SH ON Z/OS NOT EXTRACTING CBE-XML FORMATTED ENTRIES FROM LOGSTREAM.

Fixes are available

APAR status

Closed as program error.

Error description

The showlog.sh for WAS on z/OS is documented as displaying a
range of entries based on start time.   The command is currently
not displaying any entries.  showlog.sh expects the input
in a z/OS logstream dataset in be in CBE-XML format.  Currently
if you
attempt to process a WAS created logstream using showlog you get
a message "no entries found in the time range specified"  if the
entries are
not in CBE-XML format.   If the entries are in CBE-XML format
you get a message stating that the message time stamp exceeded
the end time.
