No timestamp on each line logfile

[#1]

Does anybody know why the timestamp would NOT appear on each line of the log file for an app?

I use the line timestamp frequently as a reference, but just discovered that certain apps don't have a timestamp on each line.

Thanks

Same problem here. Does anybody have a clue?

The log timestamp should appear on each logical line. If the line wraps to multiple physical lines, the timestamp will only be on the first physical line. When I process log files, I generally assume that a line without a time shoud inherit the time from the previous line.

Hi Rob, thanks for your answer but unfortunately that's not the case.

Inside each *.qvw.log the time is not always printed. Some lines have it, some others don't.

Let me help you understand with the following screenshot:

The log timestamp format comes from the

SET TimestampFormat=

statement. You'll see that when it is reset in the script full timestamps appear on subsequent lines. When the script begins, it uses whatever timestamp the last script completed with. That becomes the document default. For a new document, I believe it starts the TimestampFormat from the windows system values.

Are you setting TimestampFormat elsewhere in the script?
