OPEN-LOG-FILE

Statements for SM2 administrators

BUFFER-OUTPUT =

Defines file output.

BUFFER-OUTPUT = *NORMAL

A buffer, when full, is always written to a file.

BUFFER-OUTPUT = *IMMEDIATE

At the end of each monitoring cycle, a record for identifying the end of the cycle is written, after which the output buffer is output immediately. Even buffers which are not completely filled with data are output. This could lead to block corruption. Consequently, a file generated in this way should not be processed using SM2U1; the sections of the block not filled with data are removed in this case. This method of file output should be employed when using SM2R1-PC and SM2ONLINE-PC V1.0, but it is no longer required for SM2ONLINE-PC V2.0 or later.
