/JOURNAL[=journal-file]
/NOJOURNAL
Determines whether EDT keeps a journal during your editing
session. A journal contains a record of the keystrokes you enter
during an editing session. The default file name for the journal
is the same as the input file name. The default file type is
JOU. The /JOURNAL qualifier enables you to use a different file
specification for the journal.
The following command line invokes EDT to edit a file named
MEMO.DAT and specifies the name SAVE.JOU for the journal:
$ EDIT/JOURNAL=SAVE MEMO.DAT
If you are editing a file from another directory and want the
journal to be located in that directory, you must use the
/JOURNAL qualifier with a file specification that includes the
directory name. Otherwise, EDT creates the journal in the default
directory.
The directory that is to contain the journal should not be write-
protected.
To prevent EDT from keeping a record of your editing session, use
the /NOJOURNAL qualifier in the EDT command line as follows:
$ EDIT/NOJOURNAL MEMO.DAT
Once you have created a journal, enter the EDT/RECOVER command to
execute the commands in the journal. No wildcard characters are
allowed in the file specification.
