Some batch applications we have generate spreadsheets and text with indicators derived from the data processed. Using an email link in 6.10 and now 6.11 we send these to selected people. One of those is me, and I also get the -altlog file. If you have an email app, you could consider attaching it to an email message and then saving the attached file locally. Using the function key sequence of Lotus cc:Mail, and the default name in my specified default directory, I get a saved file with date stamps that let me easily retrieve it later.

We took the path of -altlog so I could track failures in our batch and enquiry processes from our Production users. Attaching the email allows me to check batches while off the network, whether in Melbourne or even overseas, since we have a remote server on the email system. It's not as neat as an Intranet with Internet connection, I suspect that would be by far a better solution.
