Event Logging
It is a good idea to enable Event Logging so that you can check how your programs have
executed. Event Logging is a useful tool for troubleshooting. An Event Log file is stored by
date in c:\fmw\log\<yyyymmdd>.log. To read the current file, select View from the
Programming Window menu bar, and then select Log File.
?NOTE You must remember to “clean out” the Event Log directory regularly,
otherwise it will fill up the hard disk and have an adverse effect on
throughput. Use File Manager to remove old files.
