A logging level value (between 0 and 4).

Logging level represents the amount of logging information written to the log file, as shown in Table 4–3.

Table 4–3: Logging levels 

Logging level	Description
0 (None)	Log no entries. This is equivalent to turning logging off.
1 (Errors)	Log OpenEdge error messages. This includes all error messages and is unrelated to the entry types specified. Errors continue to be logged at all higher levels.
2 (Basic)	Log entry types determine the logged information. Each entry type will generate at least some output. This is the default.
3 (Verbose)	Log entry types determine the logged information.
4 (Extended)	Log entry types determine the logged information.

By default, the logging level you specify applies to all log entry types. However, you can specify individual log entry types with a different logging level using the Log Entry Types (-logentrytypes) startup parameter.

You can also use attributes on the LOG-MANAGER system handle to specify log entry types and logging levels. For more information, see the OpenEdge Development: Progress 4GL Reference .
