LOG SPILL rrrrr-ccccc, BLOCKS xxxxx-xxxxx, TIMES ccyy/mm/dd hh.mm.ss-ccyy/mm/dd hh.mm.ss

Reason:

A spill has completed spilling a cycle (group of blocks) to the Recovery File (RXX) file.

The rrrrr is the Recovery File number. The number following an INIT LXX is 00001 and each subsequent Recovery File number is incremented by one. When it reaches 99999, the number recycles to 00001.

The ccccc is the cycle number. Each Recovery File has cycle numbers starting with 00001. With inactive recovery, each spill is a new Recovery File, so the cycle number is one (only one spill to a given file). With active recovery, the Recovery File opened at the Multi-User Facility startup starts with cycle one. Each spill increments the number. A NEWRXX function starts a new Recovery File with a new set of cycle numbers.

In the TIMES field, the cc in ccyy provides century information.

The BLOCKS are printed in hex and are mainly for CA Support to use in problem solving, but can be used to see how many blocks were spilled in this cycle. When running with spanned logging, the block numbers printed are the physical block numbers representing the first physical block of each logical block.

The date-time strings indicate when the first and last records spilled were originally processed.

Note: If variable logging is being used, the word BLOCKS in the message text is replaced by the word TRACKS.
