4.1.2.1 Session Log File

To establish a command log file from the session log file (Jobname.
LOG), perform these steps:

1. Rename or copy the session log file to a different name.
2. List the log file by choosing Utility Menu> List> Files> Log File.
3. Choose File> Save as from the Log File window.

4.1.2.2 Database Command Log

To establish a command log file from the database log, pick Utility
Menu> File> Write DB Log File. You can specify a file name or use the
default name, Jobname.LGW. You also have the option (with the Kedit
field) to write all commands (default), essential commands only (Kedit
= REMOVE), or essential commands with nonessential commands com-
mented out (Kedit = COMMENT).

1. Edit the Command Log File
Sometimes, you will need to edit your command log file before
using it as program input. As you edit your log file, you may want
to add comments or indentation to improve its readability. You can
add comments to your log file by using the comment character (!).
2. Read in the Edited Log File
In an interactive session, pick Utility Menu> File> Read Input
from to read in the edited command log file.
