Message logging
A message log file exists for each database. The default name of this file is 
dbname.iqmsg. The message log file is created when the database is created. 
By default, Adaptive Server IQ logs all messages in the message log file, 
including:
Error messages
Status messages
Insert notification messages
You can examine this file as you would any other text file. At the start of the 
file you see output like the following:
