NOTE
The error log can become very large and so it must be cleared periodically or it will take up a
large amount of disk space. Because of its potential size, do not try to print the entire error
log. All the error logs are copied to the maintenance log. Refer to the “Maintenance Log” in
the Chapter 4.
