Procedure for System Administrators

Use the <LS>ARCHIVE_PROTOCOL*</> function modules to create a log.
Display the log using the <LS>ARCHIVE_PROTOCOL_WRITE</> function module
before you call the <LS>ARCHIVE_CLOSE_FILE</> function module.
(This must be called before <LS>ARCHIVE_CLOSE_FILE</> otherwise the
system cannot check if the <LS>ARCHIVE_PROTOCOL*</> function modules are
being used correctly.)
