[10] Avoid logging a part of the script

[nstefaniuk]

Hello all.

I do a loop in my script and I would like to avoid to log all the loops in the log file. If I have 1000 loops, the final log file is about 20 MB, which is huge when the application is launched many times per day.

So it is possible to activate a stop-log option and deactivate it at a point of the script ?

If not, how can I achieve it ? Moving this part of the script in an hidden script ?

Thanks all.

Yes, it appears you can declare a subroutine in the hidden script and call it from the main load and it won't log it - useful to know.

eg.

Hidden script ...

sub HiddenLog

let tablename= 'HiddenDataLoad' & floor(rand()*1000);

$(tablename):

load hiddenFld as $(tablename) inline [

hiddenFld

1

2

3

4

5

6

7

8

9];

end sub

... logs as ...

Thanks it works as expected. I would prefer a flag to activate / deactivate but at least it's a good workaround.

Thanks
