SET commands	Description
SET JOURNAL STATE(OFF \| ON) ID(type,...)	Sets the state of individual journal types to OFF or ON More than one journal type can be specified. When the journal type is set to OFF, no journal entries are made for that journal type. Valid journal types vary by address space and can be displayed by using the DISPLAY TRACE command.
SET JOURNAL STATE(OFF \| ON) ID(ALL)	Changes the state of all individual journal types to OFF or ON Entering ALL as the ID type specifies all trace types.
SET JOURNAL STATE(OFF \| ON)	Suspends or resumes writing information to the journal You cannot change journal types with this format. Nothing is written to the journal while it is suspended. Journaling will resume when the state is set to ON.
SET JOURNAL STATE(SWITCH)	Switches to a new journal
