Alters the attributes of an existing user logging identifier.
ALTLOG logid [;LOG=logfile {,DISC}] {,TAPE} [;PASS=password] [{;AUTO }] {;NOAUTO}
logid The logging identifier whose attributes are to be changed. This identifier must contain from one to eight alphanumeric characters, beginning with an alphabetic character. logfile The name of the file to receive data from the logging procedure. This name must contain from one to eight alphanumeric characters, beginning with an alphabetic character. You must specify the device class on which log file resides, DISC or TAPE. password The new password for the logging identifier. This password must contain from one to eight alphanumeric characters, beginning with an alphabetic character. AUTO Initiates an automatic CHANGELOG if the current log file becomes full. Refer to the CHANGELOG command. NOAUTO Prevents the initiation of an automatic CHANGELOG. A CHANGELOG will not be performed if the current log file becomes full. Default.
This command changes the attributes of an existing user logging identifier to those specified in the parameter list. Parameters not included in the ALTLOG command retain their current values. You must have system supervisor (OP) or User Logging (LG) capability to execute ALTLOG. Only the creator of the logging identifier can alter its attributes. To use the AUTO parameter, the log process for logid must be enabled for changing. You may do this by ending the log file name with the numeric characters 001 (for example, fname001). This naming convention works in conjunction with the file set number to generate sequential file names automatically. If a log file is restricted to a single volume or volume class when it is created with the BUILD command, then successive log files created by user logging will have the same restriction. If a new log file name is specified with the ALTLOG command, the links with any previous log file will be broken. This command may be issued from a session, job, program, or in BREAK. Pressing [Break] has no effect on this command. It requires User Logging (LG) capability.
To change the destination log file of the logging identifier KIM to log file C and specify that C resides on disk, enter ALTLOG KIM;LOG=C,DISC Since the keyword parameter, PASS=, was not included, KIM retains any password previously specified.
