SOMPATCH
Operation
Syntax
LO[G ]
username , patchid [, srnumber ]
Parameters
username An ASCII string that gives the name of the person installing the patch and
the name of the patch creator, if it is not the same person. The string is
terminated by a comma, but can include other non-alpha characters.
patchid The identification code from the patch management system. It is parsed as
a string and is terminated by a comma. Blanks are ignored.
srnumber The SR number that this patch is fixing.
Every patch made on a shared file should have associated with it, at a minimum, the patch
ID. The other parameters to this command are also important, but they may not be known
at the time that the patch is applied. Always build the file with one of the ypatch files so
that this information is saved.
Use the LOG command before the first MODIFY command and before each subsequent patch,
where each patch is composed of a set of one or more functionally connected modify
commands.
If you do not enter any parameters, LOG will prompt you for them. Refer to the "Operation"
section.
Example
sp> log STEVE THOMPSON, 155
Return
sp> log jim gann(by Kate T.), 19, 4700-192066 Return
