Two command log layout formats are supported by Adabas mainframe products:
The first format (invoked by CLOGLAYOUT=5) is supported in all supported Adabas mainframe versions and is the default format.
The DSECT that maps the layout of the CLOGLAYOUT=5 records is called LOREC and can be found in the ADAvrs.SRCE library.
The second format (invoked by CLOGLAYOUT=8) is supported only in Adabas version 8 or later. This format includes all of the information provided in CLOGLAYOUT=5, but each buffer is prefixed by its corresponding Adabas buffer description (ABD) as well. Each segmented buffer (format, record, or multifetch) is written separately and uniquely identified.
The DSECT that maps the layout of the CLOGLAYOUT=8 records is called LORECX and can be found in the ADAvrs.SRCE library.
