LOGSYS ATTRIBUTES (LOGS A)

Log Parameters

Log Parameter

Description

FILE routed to:

Shows the file into which log data will be placed. This may be "NIL" or blank, in which case the data will not be stored in the system.

PRINT routed to:

Indicates the printer to which data will be sent. If it is "NIL", then no printer has been allocated.

RAM size:

Size, in bytes, of the RAM space used in moving the data to the file and/or printer.

FILE size:

Size, in number of entries, of the file into which log data will be placed.

Overflow disposition:

Indicates whether, when a buffer or file is full, incoming data will overwrite the oldest data (wrap), or if the data in the file will be kept, and new data rejected (keep).

PRINT HEADER:

Shows which, if either, of the two components of a printout header will be printed. The two components consist of the system name (SYSTEM) and the date of the printout. For each one, "on" indicates that it will be printed, and "off" shows that it will not be printed.

PRINT REASON:

Shows the circumstances under which the system will output to a printer. One of three reasons may be specified: TIME, for printouts at set intervals; LOAD, for output when a preprogrammed number of entries has been received, and subsequently at preprogrammed increments of entries; and USER which gives printouts on user demand.

PRINT TIME:

Shown only when PRINT REASON is TIME. Shows the start time and the time increments between printouts.

LOAD setting:

Shown only when PRINT REASON is LOAD. Shows the number of log entries at which the first printout is made, and the increments at which subsequent printouts will occur.

ALARM setting:

Reserved for future use.
