Related command: `LOGOFF`.

This command is used to log on to a library in your environment or create a new library. In the specified library, all newly created source or object programs saved during the session will be stored (unless you explicitly specify another library ID in a `SAVE`, `CATALOG` or `STOW` command).

The `LOGON` command has no direct effect on the source program in the currently active window.

`LOGON` causes all Natural global data areas and application independent variables (AIVs), all assignments made using the `SET KEY` statement and retained ISN lists to be released. Data definition modules (DDMs) contained in the DDM buffer area are also released.
