1036.0. "logfiles creation date" by 48243::MENICACCI () Thu Oct 12 1995 10:06

	Hi,

a customer complains because when he archives logfiles, the new ones don't have
for creation date, the date of the last archiving process.

The only date reviewed is the modified date. Is it intended behaviour ?

What's more I noticed that new log files keep their file ID (dir/fil). How are
they created ?

Thanks for any input,

Maria MENICACCI.

The data we wish to keep is overlaid onto the existing logfile and the file is truncated so a new file is not being created thus the file-id stays the same. Regs, Dan Thanks for any input, Maria MENICACCI.

    yes. Note the filename describes the dates that the archive file
    encompasses.

    When archiving is done the data that is being archived is copied to the
    archive file. The data we wish to keep is overlaid onto the *existing*
    logfile and the file is truncated so a new file is not being created
    thus the file-id stays the same.
