MPE/iX Commands Reference Manual Volume I

SWITCHLOG 

Closes the current system log file, then creates and opens a new one.
(Native Mode)

Syntax 

     SWITCHLOG

Parameters 

None.

Operation Notes 

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

If this command is issued and logging is not active the following message
is displayed:

     NO LOGGING
     LOG FILE xxx IS yy% FULL


NOTE  Do not create new log files with the BUILD command since MPE/iX
      creates them automatically.  If you use the BUILD command to create
      a new log file and then attempt to switch the current log file to
      the file you created, user logging suspends in an error state and
      the following message is displayed:

           SYSTEM LOG FILE #xxx ENCOUNTERED ERROR #nnn 
           LOGGING SUSPENDED.


Use 

This command may be issued from a session, job, program, or in BREAK.
Pressing Break has no effect on this command.  System supervisor (OP)
capability is required to use this command.

Example 

To switch logging to a new log file, enter:

     SWITCHLOG
