Parameters 

                          [REV DEL]

DBEnvironmentName       is the name of the DBEnvironment with which the
                        file you are storing is associated.

MaintenanceWord         is the maintenance word.

LogIdentifier           is the log identifier number of the log file to
                        be stored.  Use the SHOWLOG command to display
                        this number.

FileName                is the device name for the tape or disk device
                        that will receive the store file.

Description 

   *   This command lets you store an archive log file.  The file to be
       stored must not be the current log file, and it must have the
       backup status of Ready for Backup in a dynamic SHOWLOG display.
       [REV DEL]

   *   If you specify the log identifier number for a log file that is
       Ready for Backup, only the specified log file will be stored.

   *   If you omit the LogIdentifier, ALLBASE/SQL will store only the log
       file with the lowest sequence number that is storable--that is,
       has the lowest log sequence number and has Ready for Backup status
       in a dynamic SHOWLOG display.

   *   If you specify a log identifier number of 0, every log file which
       currently has the status Ready for Backup will be automatically
       stored to the same tape in order of increasing log sequence
       number.  This allows you to store multiple log files to a single
       tape.

   *   If the LogIdentifier number you enter corresponds to a log file
       that is in use, the store will not take place.

   *   If more than one volume is required to store the log file, a
       request will be displayed on the console.  The next tape can then
       be mounted.  No reply is necessary for the continuation of the
       store on the new mount.

   *   For each successful STORELOG, label the backup tape with the log
       file name, sequence number, and the date and time of the backup.
       The sequence number will let you restore and recover log files in
       the correct order in the event that rollforward recovery is
       needed.

   *   If your system has the TURBOSTORE enhancements to the STORE
       utility, you should reply N to the prompt "Use Static Store
       (y/n)?" If you do not have TURBOSTORE, reply Y.

   *   The DBEnvironment may be in use while this command is executed.
       However, if your system does not have the TURBOSTORE enhancements
       to the STORE utility, the DBEnvironment must not be in use.

Authorization 

You must be the DBECreator, have SM capability, or supply the correct
maintenance word to use this command.

Example 

STORELOG of single specified log file

     >> storelog 
     DBEnvironment Name:  PartsDBE 
     Maintenance Word:   Return  
     Log Identifier (opt): 2 
     To File Name? TAPE 
     Use Static Store (y/n)? n 
     Store Log File (y/n)? y 

     Log file 'lgn1' with Sequence Number            11 was stored.

STORELOG using a log identifier of 0 to store multiple log files to the
same device

     >> storelog 
     DBEnvironment Name:  PartsDBE 
     Maintenance Word:   Return  
     Log Identifier (opt): 0 
     To File Name? TAPE 
     Use Static Store (y/n)? n 
     Store Log File (y/n)? y 

     Log file 'ptslogA2' with Sequence Number             5 was stored.
     Log file 'ptslogA1' with Sequence Number             6 was stored.
     Log file 'ptslogA3' with Sequence Number             7 was stored.
     Log file 'ptslogA5' with Sequence Number             8 was stored.
