SET JOURNALING ALL
(Default.) Enables buffer-change journaling for all your text buffers.
Example:
In the following example, you invoke EVE using /NOJOURNAL, which
disables buffer-change journaling, and then then enable journaling for
all your buffers:
$ EDIT/TPU/NOJOURNAL
.
.
Command: SET JOURNALING ALL
Usage notes:
o Buffer-change journal file are created in the directory defined by the
logical name TPU$JOURNAL (default is SYS$SCRATCH, which is usually your
top-level, login directory).
o The journal file names derive from the buffer names and the file type
.TPU$JOURNAL. For example, the journal file for the Main buffer is
MAIN.TPU$JOURNAL. If you edit a file named MEMO.TXT, the journal file
is MEMO_TXT.TPU$JOURNAL.
o You cannot enable journaling for buffers that are modified. First
write out the buffers (by using WRITE FILE or SAVE FILE), and then
enable journaling.
o To check the journal file name for the current buffer, use SHOW. To
get a list of all your buffer-change journal files, use the following
command:
Command: DCL DIRECTORY TPU$JOURNAL:*.TPU$JOURNAL
o Journal files contain information about the text you edit. If you edit
confidential data, be sure to keep the journal files secure, as well as
the text files.
o For information about recovering your edits, see help on RECOVER
BUFFER.
+------------------------------ NOTE -------------------------------+
| Although journaling and recovery are quite reliable, the safest way |
| to protect your work against a system failure is to write out your |
| edits frequently---particularly during all-day editing sessions. |
