Qualifiers

Additional information available:

/NEW_VERSION/OWNER/SIZE

/NEW_VERSION

   Creates a new version of a log file if a log file with an
   identical specification already exists. The new log file is
   created with the same name and type and a version number one
   higher than the highest existing version. Note that once the
   new version of the transaction log file is created, then any
   transaction records in the previous log cannot be accessed.

/OWNER

      /OWNER=owner_id

   Associates an owner or user identification code (UIC) with the
   log file to be created. Specify the UIC using the standard UIC
   format as described in the VMS DCL Concepts Manual. The default
   UIC will be one of the following: (1) the owner UIC of an existing
   version of the file if the file creator has extended privileges;
   or (2) the owner UIC of the parent directory if the file creator
   has extended privileges; or (3) the owner UIC of the creator.

/SIZE

      /SIZE=file_size

   Specifies the size of the log file in blocks. The minimum log file
   size is 100 blocks, and the default log file size is 4000 blocks.

Example

  LMCP> CREATE LOGFILE SYSTEM$BLUE/OWNER=GONZALES/SIZE=4400

  This command creates a log file called SYSTEM$BLUE.LM$JOURNAL,
  associates it with the user name GONZALES, and specifies a file
  size of 4400 blocks.
