the CHANGELOG command to enable interactive log file changing. Use the AUTO parameter
of the ALTLOG and GETLOG commands to enable automatic log file changing.

has no effect on this command.
This command can be executed only by users to whom it has been allowed (see ALLOW
command) or to users logged onto the console (or to a terminal that has taken the console
via the CONSOLE command). System Supervisor (OP) capability is also required.
