HTH,
tyler_durden

The output i was looking for :

SQL0204N occoured 3 times
[description] SQL0204N "ITUAM.VW_TT_VALUES" is an undefined name.
SQLSTATE=42704
blah blah blah....

SQL3196N occoured 7 times
[description] SQL3196N The input file was not found
blah blah...
......
.... [The no. of lines varies for this error description]
..
blah blah blah....

how do i get the entire description part?
The only cue is that there is a blank line after the description is over in the output.log file which i am reading.
