1  SHOW_LOG
   Displays information about transaction logs.

   Requires READ access to the transaction logs and the directories
   they are in.

   Format

     SHOW LOG  [filespec]
 

2  Parameter
 

filespec

   The file specification of the transaction logs you want to
   display information about. This can include the percent (%) and
   asterisk (*) wildcard characters.

   The SHOW LOG command uses the following defaults:

   o  If you omit the disk and directory, the SHOW LOG command
      looks for the transaction log in the directories pointed to
      by SYS$JOURNAL, which must be defined in executive mode in the
      system logical name table.

   o  If you omit the file type, the SHOW LOG command uses
      .LM$JOURNAL.
 

2  /CURRENT

   Displays information about the local node's transaction log. This
   includes the number of checkpoints and stalls that have occurred
   since DECdtm services started on this node.

   To use the /CURRENT qualifier:

   o  You must have the CMKRNL privilege.
   
   o  You must omit the parameter to the SHOW LOG command.
 

2  /FULL

   Lists all attributes of the transaction logs. For each
   transaction log, both the full file specification of the
   transaction log and its size are displayed.

   If you do not specify which transaction log you want to display,
   the SHOW LOG command lists all transaction logs of the form
   SYSTEM$*.LM$JOURNAL, in all directories pointed to by the logical
   SYS$JOURNAL, which must be defined in executive mode in the
   system logical name table.
 

2  /OUTPUT

      /OUTPUT[=filespec]

   Requires READ and WRITE access to the directory in which the
   output file is to be created.

   Specifies where the output of the SHOW LOG command is sent. If
   you omit this qualifier, output is sent to the current SYS$OUTPUT
   device (usually your terminal). To send the output to a file, use
   the /OUTPUT qualifier. If you do not supply a file specification,
   the output is sent to the file LMCP_SHOW.LIS in your default
   directory.
