vwdblog - View Database Log File

vwdblog

View the database log file (%LAWDIR%\system\ladb.log) using the lashow utility. You can also view the log file with the Lawson Editors or any other text editor. As the database is running, the system writes any error messages that occur to this file, including error messages sent by any relational databases. If the database fills, ladb writes a message in the log file describing the reason. Information is appended to the log file. Should the file become too large, you can delete it or move it.
