Closing the log file
You can stop writing messages to the current log file, and close the current log file by using the CLOSE-LOG( ) method on the LOG-MANAGER system handle.
Note: This method is only valid for interactive or batch clients. For WebSpeed or AppServer agents, the log file closes when the broker or server shuts down.
The following table shows how to close the log file.
