EVE SET_NOJOURNALING — VMS 5.5

 SET NOJOURNALING

 Disables buffer-change journaling for the buffer you specify.  (No effect
 on keystroke journaling, if it is enabled.)

 Example:

    The following command disables buffer-change journaling for a buffer
    named TEST DATA:

       Command: SET NOJOURNALING test data

 Usage notes:

 o  If more than one buffer name matches your request, EVE displays a list
    of the matching buffer names so you can choose the one you want.  See
    help on Choices Buffer.

 o  By default, EVE creates a journal file for each text buffer you create.
    You can disable journaling for a buffer in which you do not have to
    protect text against loss from a system failure---for example, a
    "scratchpad" buffer used to test procedures or a read-only buffer that
    contains text you want to view without editing.

 o  To disable buffer-change journaling for all your text buffers, use SET
    NOJOURNALING ALL.

 o  SET NOJOURNALING does not delete the journal file for the buffer.
    Journal files contain information about the text you edit.  If you edit
    confidential data, you should delete un-neeeded journal files by using
    the DCL command DELETE, as in the following example:

       $ DELETE TPU$JOURNAL:testdata.tpu$journal;*
