DBG$HELP.HLB  —  DEBUG  SET  LOG
    Specifies a log file to which the debugger writes after a SET
    OUTPUT LOG command has been entered.

    Format

      SET LOG  file-spec

1  –  Parameters

 file-spec

    Denotes the file specification of the log file. If you do
    not supply a full file specification, the debugger assumes
    SYS$DISK:[]DEBUG.LOG as the default file specification for any
    missing field.

    If you specify a version number and that version of the file
    already exists, the debugger writes to the file specified,
    appending the log of the debugging session onto the end of that
    file.

2  –  Description

    The SET LOG command determines only the name of a log file; it
    does not cause the debugger to create or write to the specified
    file. The SET OUTPUT LOG command accomplishes that.

    If you entered a SET OUTPUT LOG command but no SET LOG command,
    the debugger writes to the file SYS$DISK:[]DEBUG.LOG by default.

    If the debugger is writing to a log file and you specify another
    log file with the SET LOG command, the debugger closes the former
    file and begins writing to the file specified in the SET LOG
    command.

    1.DBG> SET LOG CALC
      DBG> SET OUTPUT LOG

      In this example, the SET LOG command specifies the debugger
      log file to be SYS$DISK:[]CALC.LOG. The SET OUTPUT LOG command
      causes user input and debugger output to be logged to that
      file.

    2.DBG> SET LOG [CODEPROJ]FEB29.TMP
      DBG> SET OUTPUT LOG

      In this example, the SET LOG command specifies the debugger
      log file to be [CODEPROJ]FEB29.TMP. The SET OUTPUT LOG command
      causes user input and debugger output to be logged to that
      file.
