    1.$ SET FILE/RU_JOURNAL FINANCE_DISK:[PAYROLL]WEEKLY.DAT

      This command marks the file WEEKLY.DAT for recovery unit
      journaling. Any operation within an application that modifies
      this file must be in a defined transaction (defined by DECdtm
      transaction services).

    2.$ SET FILE/AI_JOURNAL=(FILE=JNL_DISK:, CREATE)-
      _$ /RU_JOURNAL/LOG OVERDUE.DAT
      %SET-I-JCREATED, journal JNL_DISK:[PAYABLE]OVERDUE.RMS$JOURNAL;1
      created
      %SET-I-FILMARKAI, WORK_DISK:[PAYABLE]OVERDUE.DAT;1 marked for RMS
      after-image journaling
      -SET-I-JFILE, using journal JNL_DISK:[PAYABLE]OVERDUE.RMS$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

      $ SET FILE/AI_JOURNAL=(FILE=JNL_DISK:OVERDUE)-
      _$ /RU_JOURNAL/LOG  CURRENT.DAT

      %SET-I-FILMARKAI, WORK_DISK:[PAYABLE]CURRENT.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]CURRENT.DAT;1 marked for RMS
      recovery-unit journaling
      %SET-I-MODIFIED, WORK_DISK:[PAYABLE]CURRENT.DAT;1 modified

      In this example, the files OVERDUE.DAT and CURRENT.DAT are
      marked for after-image and recovery unit journaling using two
      SET FILE commands. In this example, a single journal (JNL_
      DISK:[PAYABLE]OVERDUE.RMS$JOURNAL) is used for after-image
      journaling.

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

      The second SET FILE command marks the file CURRENT.DAT for
      after-image and recovery unit journaling, checks the disk JNL_
      DISK to see whether an after-image journal already exists, and
      uses the existing journal JNL_DISK:[PAYABLE]OVERDUE.RMS$JOURNAL
      for the file CURRENT.DAT.
