Selecting new RLOG files (NEW RLOG)

NEW RLOG          

The NEW RLOG command places a request with the DBH to close the RLOG file that is currently open and to create and open a new RLOG file.
The NEW RLOG command is not executed until the request is activated with a PERFORM command.

NEW RLOG must be issued by the database administrator if the DBH fails to create an RLOG file on the disks allocated with the load parameters PP LOG, PP LOG-2 and PP RESERVE. In such cases UPDATE transactions and distributed transactions are blocked. The block can be removed only by means of a NEW RLOG command.

NEW RLOG permits the database administrator to have the DBH change the RLOG file.
