LOG-FILE* - This identifies the name of the default log file for transaction management. The default log file is opened at the beginning of the first transaction in which no other log file is specified. If it does not exist, it is created. This variable is examined only when the file is first opened, so setting it with the SET ENVIRONMENT verb has no effect. The default setting is empty. Unless you have set NO-LOG-FILE-OK to "1", you must set the LOG-FILE variable if you want to use transaction management.
Remote name notation is allowed for the LOG-FILE variable if your runtime is client-enabled. See User's Guide sections 5.2.1 and 5.2.2 for more information about client-enabled runtimes and remote name notation.
