Compile the binopwk interface and enable event logging for all events: $ idl binopwk.idl -trace all Compile the binopwk interface and enable event logging for errors: $ idl binopwk.idl -trace errors Compile the binopwk interface, enabling event logging for all events as well as enabling the log manager interface: $ idl binopwk.idl -trace all -trace log_manager The event logger universal interface has the following DCL command equivalents: -trace all /TRACE=EVENTS=ALL -trace log_manager /TRACE=LOG_MANAGER -trace all -trace log_manager /TRACE=(LOG_MANAGER,EVENTS=ALL) -trace errors -trace calls /TRACE=EVENTS=(ERRORS,CALLS)
