Extracts the error log buffers from the dump file and places them
    into the binary file called CLUE$ERRLOG.SYS.

    Format

      CLUE ERRLOG  [/OLD]

1  –  Qualifier

1.1    /OLD

    Dumps the errorlog buffers into a file using the old errorlog
    format. The default action, if /OLD is not specified, is to dump
    the errorlog buffers in the common event header format.

2  –  Description

    CLUE ERRLOG extracts the error log buffers from the dump file and
    places them into the binary file called CLUE$ERRLOG.SYS.

    These buffers contain messages not yet written to the error log
    file at the time of the failure. When you analyze a failure on
    the same system on which it occurred, you can run the Error
    Log utility on the actual error log file to see these error
    log messages. When analyzing a failure from another system, use
    the CLUE ERRLOG command to create a file containing the failing
    system's error log messages just prior to the failure. System
    failures are often triggered by hardware problems, so determining
    what, if any, hardware errors occurred prior to the failure can
    help you troubleshoot a failure.

    You can define the logical CLUE$ERRLOG to any file specification
    if you want error log information written to a file other than
    CLUE$ERRLOG.SYS.

                                   NOTE

       You need at least DECevent V2.9 to analyze the new common
       event header (CEH) format file. The old format file can be
       analyzed by ANALYZE/ERROR or any version of DECevent.
