It takes one parameter which is the username of one of your students, e.g. Command:GETJNL ECMU39 and it will create (or overwrite) a file ECMU39JNL in your own process which contains a copy of the current contents of the student's RECALL file. It won't work if the student is logged on at the time, nor if there is no journal (unlikely) or if the journal is not PERMITted to you. In fact your students ECMU44 to ECMU49 have not used the system yet, as far as I can see, so their journals are not yet permitted - let me know later if you need to get their journals permitted. The journals for your other students are permitted. I noticed that the controlling routine INITIALISE which your students use is in a file belonging to ECMI25, and consequently ECMI25 is regarded as their "supervisor" and has special privileges for dealing with them. If you would prefer to exercise those privileges yourself, we will need to make a copy of that file in your process and do a few other adjustments. If you want to know what the privileges actually are, try UGHELP (for which you need OPTION SEARCHDIR=SUBSYS.UGFILE_UTILDIR). They include the right to log on to a student's process using your own password.

You will have to get TRP3 INSERTed into one of the directories which your students use. Then they will be able to use the command MYPROLOG - the name can be changed if you like! - and it will behave just like PROLOG, but after the end of a prolog session the journal for the session will be MAILed to you. This is not particularly tidy, and certainly not tamper-proof, but it might help.

I have summoned them forth from the archive, and they should be appearing in the new (or even near) future. Have fun.

I have just spoken to the System Manager and he is now increasing your File Index: this will allow you to have more files - you won't get any more commands failing with "no free descriptors" - but if it's file SPACE that's the problem I'm afraid this will not make any difference. If you need more room to create new files please let me know your current limits (from FILES(,P)) and how much you need. Nick
