Extended Time Period Reports

By default, LOGGER bases its report on data found in the current log file (SYSTEM/SUMLOG). Refer to the System Log Programming Reference Manual for information about SYSTEM/SUMLOG. The SUMLOG is found on the current log family, as specified by the DL (Disk Location) system command. Refer to the System Commands Operations Reference Manual for information about the DL command. However, the USE command can be supplied to the program to specify that its source information is elsewhere. Refer to “USE Command” for more information.

Only one USE command can appear in an input deck. If none appears, the current SYSTEM/SUMLOG is used. The USE SYSTEM/SUMLOG command explicitly specifies that the current SYSTEM/SUMLOG is to be used.

The following commands indicate that system logs released through a TL (Transfer Log) system command are to be used. Refer to the System Commands Operations Reference Manual for information about the TL command.
