According to Security/3000 help: LOG20.DATA.VESOFT file, report on a copy of it: users like to make a COPY of the log file before clearing it. If you do this, you can still use LISTLOG to generate reports on the copy by issuing the :FILE-equation before running LOGON,LISTLOG: :FILE LOG20.DATA.VESOFT=mylogfilename where "mylogfilename" is the name of the log file you wish to report on. For security reasons, this :FILE-equation will only be honored if you have SM capability. Hope this will help ! -- ============== Denis St-Amand (remove removeit from email address) * To join/leave the list, search archives, change list settings, * * etc., please visit http://raven.utc.edu/archives/hp3000-l.html *
