LOG/NLOG Dialog Logging

After activating the logging, the statements STEP/ON/OFF/BREAK are interpreted internally by the Connection Handler as commands for a later Restore process, and are thus also saved to the LOG file. These statements are therefore not passed on to the communication partner.

STEP ON Activate Step Mode. When the dialog session is subsequently replayed (RES command), this dialog statement will activate the "Step Mode" (see page 9-). Step Mode will remain active until a statement is encountered with a STEP OFF command.

STEP OFF Deactivate Step Mode. When the dialog session is replayed (RES command), Step Mode is deactivated. The succeeding entries are, as in a normal Restore, sent without acknowledgement by the user.

STEP BREAK Temporary suspension of the RES process. When the dialog session is subsequently replayed (RES command), the RES process is interrupted, and switched to user input. As many user entries can be made as required. The RES process is continued from the interrupt point when the user enters a RES C command (RES continue).

The statements STEP ON/OFF/BREAK can also be entered in Mask formats (in the first overwriteable field). Because STEP ON/OFF/BREAK is not passed on to the communication partner by the Connection Handler, the user must enter his actual statements in an additional dialog step. The respective input request is repeated.
