SWITCHLOG

SWITCHLOG

     Closes the current system log file, then creates and opens a new one.

SYNTAX

     SWITCHLOG

PARAMETERS

     None.

OPERATION

     When the SWITCHLOG command is executed, MPE/iX displays the
     previous system log file number (xxx), the percentage of
     file space used (yy), and the current open log file (zzz),
     as shown in the following example

     SYSTEM LOG FILE #xxx IS yy% FULL
     SYSTEM LOG FILE #zzz IS ON

     following message

     NO LOGGING
     LOG FILE xxxx IS yy% FULL

     This command may be issued from a session, job, in BREAK, or
     from a program.  Pressing [Break] has no effect on this
     command.  It requires system supervisor (OP) capability or
     must be issued from the console, unless it is distributed to
     users with the ALLOW command.

NOTE

You should not BUILD new log files, since MPE/iX creates them
automatically.  If you do use BUILD to create a new log file and then
attempt to switch the current log file to the file you created, user
logging will suspend in an error state.  The following message will be
displayed

SYSTEM LOG FILE #xxxx ENCOUNTERED ERROR #yyyy
LOGGING SUSPENDED.

EXAMPLE(S)

     To switch logging to a new log file, enter

     SWITCHLOG
