Try not to post MIME, many cannot easily read it. Anyway: Yes you can but it is better to have the ALARMPROGRAM ONCONFIG parameter trigger ontape -a whenever a logfile fills up. See my entry in the IIUG Software Repository named utils3_ak for a shell script that just does this (a version of the log_full.sh that Informix delivers but rewritten to use ontape instead of onbar) and also source for an executable ALARMPROGRAM that does this and MUCH more.
