How to Add an Event to the Disk Journal Making Your Own Commands
How to Add an Event to the Disk Journal
You can add an event to the journal log by using the command LOG EVENT (LOG EV). This
will mark an event in the journal log by placing an event line at the specified point.
C* LO EV 20 45 0 13 0 0 335
↵
C*
There are several parameters available with this command:
You must include one parameter, the “event type”, the others are optional but a place holder
must be included in the command if a parameter is skipped. For example, to assign an event
type of 20, with an amount of $45.00, a clerk number of 13, and a shift sequence number of
335, the command would look like the example.
Notice that there are zeros representing the parameters that are not used because the last
parameter was required. Any fields not provided will default to their correct system values.
