file, regardless of the state of comlog.The command
comlog file= filename
selects the file but does not turn on logging.The command

will turn off logging. The filename will remain the same. A subsequentcomlog on
will cause logging to resume. A subsequentcomlog reset
will cause the existing contents of the log file to be destroyed and a new file created.The command
