LOG Command

Description:

OpenSTA maintains an audit trail of its activity and related events. The LOG command allows the user to specify a message to be written to the audit log. Each message in this file will have a date, time and thread name associated with it.

A log message may consist of any number of individual values separated by commas.

Any nonprintable ASCII characters in character values are replaced with periods ("."). Integer values are written as signed values, using only as many characters as are necessary.

Format:

 LOG value{, value...}

Parameters:

value

The value or variable to be logged. This may be a variable or quoted character string.

Examples:

 LOG "Customer Name = ", Cust-Name, &
      ' Customer Code = ', Cust-Code
 LOG "This is a long message " &
      "that is continued on this line " &
      "and this line"
 LOG "This message contains a 'single quoted section'" &
      'and "a double one here".'
