VMS Help SET, FILE, /BI_JOURNAL, EXAMPLES  *Conan The Librarian (sorry for the slow response - running on an old VAX)

    1.$ SET FILE/BI_JOURNAL=(FILE=JOURNAL_DISK:,CREATE) -
      _$FINANCE_DISK:[PAYROLL]WEEKLY.DAT

      In this example, the file FINANCE_DISK:[PAYROLL]WEEKLY.DAT is
      marked for before-image journaling. The FILE keyword, together
      with the defaults obtained from the file specification of the
      data file, provides the journal with a file specification of
      JOURNAL_DISK:[PAYROLL]WEEKLY.RMS$JOURNAL. Because the CREATE
      keyword was used, this journal is created when this SET FILE
      command is given.

    2.$ SET FILE/BI_JOURNAL=CREATE/LOG SALES.DAT
      %SET-I-JCREATED, journal FINANCE_DISK:[REGION_1]SALES.RMS$JOURNAL;1
      created
      %SET-I-FILMARKBI, FINANCE_DISK:[REGION_1]SALES.DAT marked for RMS
      before-image journaling
      -SET-I-JFILE, using journal FINANCE_DISK:[REGION_1]SALES.RMS$JOURNAL;1
      %SET-I-MODIFIED, FINANCE_DISK:[REGION_1]SALES.DAT modified

      In this example, the file SALES.DAT in default directory
      FINANCE_DISK:[REGION_1] is marked for before-image journaling
      and the /LOG qualifier causes the result of the SET FILE
      command to be displayed on the terminal.

    3.$ SET FILE/BI_JOURNAL=(FILE=JNL_DISK:, CREATE)/LOG  OVERDUE.DAT
      %SET-I-JCREATED, journal JNL_DISK:[PAYABLE]OVERDUE.RMS$JOURNAL;1
      created
      %SET-I-FILMARKBI, WORK_DISK:[PAYABLE]OVERDUE.DAT;1 marked for RMS
      before-image journaling
      -SET-I-JFILE, using journal JNL_DISK:[PAYABLE]OVERDUE.RMS$JOURNAL;1
      %SET-I-MODIFIED, WORK_DISK:[PAYABLE]OVERDUE.DAT;1 modified

      $ SET FILE/AI_JOURNAL=(FILE=JNL_DISK:)/RU_JOURNAL/LOG  OVERDUE.DAT
      %SET-I-FILMARKAI, WORK_DISK:[PAYABLE]OVERDUE.DAT;1 marked for RMS
      after-image journaling
      -SET-I-JFILE, using journal JNL_DISK:[PAYABLE]OVERDUE.RMS$JOURNAL;1
      %SET-I-FILMARKRU, WORK_DISK:[PAYABLE]OVERDUE.DAT;1 marked for RMS
      recovery-unit journaling
      %SET-I-MODIFIED, WORK_DISK:[PAYABLE]OVERDUE.DAT;1 modified

      In this example, the file OVERDUE.DAT is marked for all three
      types of journaling using two SET FILE commands. A single
      journal (JNL_DISK:[PAYABLE]OVERDUE.RMS$JOURNAL) will be used
      for after-image and before-image journaling.

      The first SET FILE command uses the /CREATE
      qualifier to create a new before-image journal,
      JNL_DISK:[PAYABLE]OVERDUE.RMS$JOURNAL. The file specification
      uses the current default directory [PAYABLE] and the default
      file extension RMS$JOURNAL.

      The second SET FILE command checks the disk JNL_DISK to see
      whether a journal already exists, and uses the existing journal
      for after-image journaling, as well as before-image journaling.

    4.$ SET FILE/NOBI_JOURNAL/NOAI_JOURNAL-
      _$ WORK_DISK:[PAYABLE]OVERDUE.DAT,VENDORS.DAT

      In this example, the files OVERDUE.DAT and VENDORS.DAT are
      unmarked for both before-image and after-image journaling. It
      is not necessary to specify the journals that were used. If
      more than one journaling type was applied to the data files
      (as in the previous example), then you must cancel each of the
      journaling types before you can delete the data files.

    5.$ SET FILE/BI_JOURNAL=(FILE=JOURNAL_DISK,CREATE)/RU_JOURNAL [FIELD]SALARY.DAT
      $ SET FILE/BI_JOURNAL=(FILE=JOURNAL_DISK:[FIELD]SALARY)/RU_JOURNAL CHECKS.DAT

      In this example, the files SALARY.DAT and CHECKS.DAT are both
      marked for before-image and for recovery unit journaling. The
      before-image journaling for both files is written to the same
      journal, JOURNAL_DISK:[FIELD]SALARY.RMS$JOURNAL.
