Recording method

Abstract

Abstract PURPOSE:To improve the use efficiency of a memory and to effectively analyze the fault of a computer system by storing log data in a single area having continuous addresses without leaving an unused area in the memory of a channel device. CONSTITUTION:Pointers A and B designate a log area and pointers C and D designate the area where important log data of a prescribed length exists among log data inputted to the log area. At the time of distributing areas except for an indispensable area such as a program area on the memory, the area including log data of the prescribed length, which is shown by the pointers C and D, is secured, a data buffer area Y is secured next, and log data except for log data of the prescribed length is secured if there is remainings. Namely, the size of the pointers A and C and that of the pointers D and B are compared and the data buffer area Y is secured in the vacant area. When there is no vacant area, the security of the data buffer area is prohibited and at least log data of the prescribed length is always secured.
