The :LOG commands are used to set/display the logging levels for you application. By default, the value of :LOG is as per the last build.

The security level to change log settings is Controller (:LOG+, :LOG-, :LOG A). The security level to display log settings (:LOG) is standard.

:LOG settings are stored in your database. When your application is initiated, stored settings are reapplied. However, changes to :LOG settings are not retained across application builds.

:LOG

Displays whether or not logging is set, and gives current log pivot number. The log pivot number is the 10-digit log entry reference number of the form:

:LOG+

Sets Logging for your application. All transactions and system activity (such as beginning-of-task and end-of-task) are recorded in a log file (but not administration commands, ROC messages). If logging was disabled, a log file is opened, and logging commences from the next transaction or Report that updates the database. Applies until you change it.

By default, the setting is as in the Logging properties set for the Segment under the Runtime Behavior category in Builder (which defaults to No Logging).
