LOG command

Invokes the log and specifies logging parameters.

LOG (Required)

Invokes the log.

d.a.m.v (Required)

Identifies the test stream:

d

DDname

a

Application

m

Member

v

Version

REALAPPLID(applid) (Optional)

Specifies the real applid under which the application will be logged. This parameter must be specified if you are logging an application; otherwise, omit it.

VIRTAPPLID(applid) (Optional)

Specifies the virtual applid with which CA Verify for VTAM will communicate with the application. This parameter must be specified if you are logging an application; otherwise, omit it.

Note: See Procedures for Logging an Application for an explanation of how to specify the REALAPPLID and VIRTAPPLID parameters.

PROTECTION(RWP) (Optional)

Specifies Read, Write, and/or Print protection for the test stream.

INONLY/NOINONLY (Optional)

Specifies whether or not input screens only should be logged.

INTERRUPT(NO/QUEUE/REQUEST/UNCOND/FORCE) (Optional)

Specifies whether or not the current session(s) should be interrupted.

No

Don't interrupt the current session and do not queue a session for the terminal. Logging will not begin until the user at the terminal to be logged ends the current session and logs on to CA Verify for VTAM.

Queue

Don't interrupt the current session. Logging will begin when the current session ends. This is the default.

Request

Request that the application currently in session with the terminal terminate the session. The application may deny the request.

Uncond

Instruct the application currently in session with the terminal that it must terminate the session. CA Verify for VTAM waits for the application to formally terminate the session before beginning to log the terminal.

Force

Force termination of the session. Generally, this type of deactivation is not recommended; however, it may be advisable for terminals that do not terminate when the Request or Uncond parameters are in effect.

The parameters represent five levels of interruption, with No as the lowest level and Force as the highest. Only the product administrator can specify a level of interruption that is higher than the default specified in the DISC installation option. For example, if DISC=UNCOND is in effect, users other than the security administrator can specify No, Queue, or Request, but not Force.

INCLUDE/EXCLUDE (Optional)

Specifies whether or not the applications in the APPLLIST statement should be included or excluded from logging.

The INCLUDE/EXCLUDE parameters are ignored when logging an application.
