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. |
