SET JOURNALING ALL (default) Enables buffer-change journaling for all your text buffers. Example: In the following example, you invoke EVE using the /NOJOURNAL qualifier, which disables journaling, and then enable buffer-change journaling for all your buffers: $ EDIT/TPU /NOJOURNAL . . Command: SET JOURNALING ALL Usage notes: o On VMS, buffer-change journal files are created the directory defined by the TPU$JOURNAL logical name (default is SYS$SCRATCH, which is usually your SYS$LOGIN directory). o The journal file name derives from the name of the buffer or file you are editing and the file type .TPU$JOURNAL. For example, the journal file for the MAIN buffer is MAIN.TPU$JOURNAL. If you edit a file or buffer named MEMO.TXT, the buffer-change journal file is MEMO_TXT.TPU$JOURNAL. On VMS, buffer names and file names are not case- sensitive. o You cannot enable journaling for buffers that are already modified. First write out the buffers (by using WRITE FILE or SAVE FILE), and then enable journaling. o To check the journal file name for the current buffer, use the SHOW command. To get a list of all your buffer-change journal files, use the following command: Command: DCL DIRECTORY TPU$JOURNAL:*.TPU$JOURNAL;* o Journal files contain information about the text you edit. If you edit confidential data, be sure to keep the journal files secure, as well as the text files. o For information about recovering your edits, see help on the RECOVER BUFFER command. +---------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Although journaling and recovery are quite reliable, the safest way | | to protect your work against a system failure is to write out your | | edits frequently---particularly during all-day editing sessions. | +---------------------------------------------------------------------+ Related topics: Journal Files SET JOURNALING SET NOJOURNALING ALL SHOW
