I just noticed in the PH User Manual, a suggestion to auto-trim the event log to keep it from growing too large!

I created a timed event trigger with a formula of...
ph_trimeventlog("2")

But when I check the formula it evaluates to "!" not "1".

I assume this means I have not used a correct formula syntax, but I'm stumped then. What would be correct?

Also BTW where is the log file saved? I can't seem to even find one in all the normal places!

Thanks.

Hi GadgetGuy,

I think you just need to remove the quotes.

i.e. ph_trimeventlog(2)

That was how I initially entered the parameter, but that formula evaluated to "0" which I thought indicated a bad syntax.

I thought correct formulas evaluate to "1" when "verified," but I'm now guessing that is not the case.

Any educational comments, anyone?

Thanks

A good result is usually 0.

Then Tony what does a "1" indicate (if anything) or is the "desired result" dependent on the formula?

Yup. The result code varies by function. Check the Help for more. The docs for this say...

Returns a 0 if successful and a 1 if an error occurs

In the database. If you want to export it, you can do that when you are looking at it in PH.
