RE: RE: Preventing Writes to Log file

[qsrvbas@xxxxxxxxxxxx]

I know this one is old, but I haven't had time lately...

There's a chance that this has been misunderstood. I'm not sure that changing 
the logging level will help. AFAIK, the messages get logged regardless of 
logging level; they just don't necessarily get copied to the spooled output.

I had the understanding that the logging level controlled more how much of the 
messages would be sent to an external device such as a display or a spooled 
file rather than how many messages would go into the job's external message 
queue.

The problem is in the term 'joblog'.

Sometimes we think of 'joblog' as being the message queue. Sometimes it's what 
gets displayed when we run DSPJOB OPTION(*JOBLOG). And sometimes it's the 
printed output in the spooled QPJOBLOG file. Those aren't always equivalent and 
logging level is one way to make significant differences.

Does anyone know of a clear description of differences?
