Logical log control file

The logical log control file defines the layout and content of the logical log data file.

On mainframe targets, the control file is a variable block (VB) output file. Think of the control file as linked to the corresponding logical log data file. Be sure to include it if you export a logical log for use on another platform or with other software.

The format of the logical log control file does not define an order for the different types of records that it contains. The only requirement is that the Type Record always appears first.
