2.1.4 BSCTRAN Logging
2.1.4.1 VMS Logical Names and Logging
BSCTRAN supports the use of VMS logical names for the link number and server
name. The maximum length of a logical name is 10 characters. A logical name may be
defined in any VMS logical name table that is included in the
LNM$FILE_DEV logical
name table search list. (This list usually includes the process, job, group, and system
tables.) If a server logical name is used, it will be prefixed to all log messages. Log mes-
sages are output to
SYS$OUTPUT and optionally to an operator console and disk log file.
Log messages have the following format:
LLLLLLLLLL_SSSSSSSSSS_N: DD-MMM-YYYY HH:MM:SS.CC Message Text
where:
LLLLLLLLLL = optional VMS logical server name and ICP number
SSSSSSSSSS = server parameter
N = link number
An example of using a logical name defined in the process table is:
$ DEFINE SIMPACT FWY0_0
$ DEFINE LINK1 2
$ RUN BSCTRAN
BSC> SEND TXT.TEST LINK1 SIMPACT
SIMPACT_FWY0_0_2: 10-APR-1994 10:40:08.78 Sending TXT.TEST
SIMPACT_FWY0_0_2: 10-APR-1994 10:40:09.40 Send Complete TXT.TEST=18
Records
2.1.4.2 UNIX Logging
There is no UNIX logical name support, and BSCTRAN log messages have a UNIX-
style time and data format:
Day Mon DD HH:MM:SS YYYY
For example: Sun Dec 31 23:59:59 1995
