The default is on when the system is running interactively. If not running interactive-
ly, prompting is off and cannot be turned on using this command. (If you attempt to
turn prompting on in batch mode, a warning message is issued.) See "Dictionary At-
tribute PromptingFacility" in Chapter3 for acompletediscussion of attributeprompt-
ing.
command-log-file The command logging option. Commands are logged if command logging is on. Valid
choices are:
on
off
The default is on if there is a valid log file when the system is started (and you do not
respond with no to the overwrite prompt if running interactively). The command that
disables command logging is not logged. However, the command that enables com-
mand logging is logged.
intrinsic-log-file The System Dictionary transaction logging option. This logging is in conjunction with
IMAGE logging. You must be logged on under the DA scope in exclusive-update mode
in order to change logging from its current state. Valid choices are:
on
off
For more information on intrinsic logging, see the SDSetControl intrinsic under Code
1 (intrinsic logging) in the HP System Dictionary/XL Intrinsics Reference Manual.
Logging is initially disabled by the initialization process (SDINIT). Like IMAGE log-
ging, System Dictionary logging remains disabled until enabled and once enabled, re-
mains enabled until disabled again.
See the IMAGE Data Base Management System Reference Manual for more informa-
tion on IMAGE transaction logging.
log-file-name Name of the new log file. If you enter the LOG keyword with no value, the logging fa-
cility is turned off. If you enter a file name, but the file cannot be opened, the previous
log file (if any) is retained. If the new file is successfully opened, command logging is
activated even ifit was turned off before the command,(unlessthis command disables
logging).
macro-file-name Name of the new macro file. If you enter the MACRO keyword with no value, the mac-
ro facility is turned off. If you enter a file name, but the file cannot be opened, the pre-
vious macro file (if there is one) is retained.
Description
Only the values of the keywords you specify in the command are changed. All other keyword values remain
as they were before you issued the command.
If not needed, you can turn command logging off to improve performance.
Open Mode: Any mode for all keywords except INTRINSIC-LOG, which requires exclusive-update
Scope: Any scope for all keywords except INTRINSIC-LOG, which requires the DA scope
