Description

When SET SYSLOGGING is ON internal system logging is performed while the process is running. The information logged can be used to find performance problems or track down system errors. The format of the log file is as follows:

Column Number	Description
One	Process ID of the user writing the line to the log file
Two	Date line was written
Three	Time line was written
Four	Internal file name
Five	Internal line number
Six	Operating system error number
Seven	General description

All the logging information is written to a file called recital.log. If the environment variable DB_LOGDIR is not defined, then the log files are created in the root directory, otherwise the log files will be created in the specified directory.

This command allows the optional logical expression <expL> to be evaluated. If a value of .T. is returned, SYSLOGGING is set ON. If a value of .F. is returned, SYSLOGGING is set OFF. By default SYSLOGGING is OFF.

Example

set syslogging on
