Line data without carriage control - how to load

[J9CMOD]

I am trying to load a document that contains a lot of lines from our z/OS system log. 
- This document does not have anything that is unique on each page.
- This document does not have carriage control
- The document does not need to be split up into "pages".

We are using the OS/390 Indexer for most of our data in CMOD.

No matter what I try, I get an error :
The following message was returned from the OS/390 indexer (ARSZSTDR error_message = ARS5419E No documents found - input exhausted.).

Which (according to documentation) indicates that the trigger isn't correct.
I have tried setting my trigger at a blank space on the first line of the data, as well as on several areas with actual data.  Nothing works.
Help would be appreciated.

Generic indexing could be another option since the file does not contain any metadata.

J9CMOD,
I would check a couple things.  First be sure you are indexing with the correct format or if you are off by a column.  We load the z/OS system log from multiple LPARS and they all come in as VB.  Also, sometimes temporarily switching to the ACIF indexer will get you a more descriptive error message.  For TRIGGER1 we use the SYSID for each LPAR and we store the time in a Transaction Field so we get the begin and end times of the log.

Hello J9!  Hope all is well with you!

I have a proof of concept of archiving the SYSLOG here:

Every day at midnight it'll suck in the SYSLOG and archive it.

Thanks, everybody for all the information.
Since the logs are our system logs (not CMOD system logs), and they are already in a dataset, I found the quick-and-easy solution was to make the file have carriage control, and set up the application that way.
It works great.
Thanks.
