ARGUMENTS

DESCRIPTION
This function is used to specify the location and/or name of the system-
database transaction activity file.If taf ends with the directory separator
character (i.e. '\' on DOS and '/' on UNIX),the default file names are
appended to the specified path name to form the fully-qualified file name.
The default file name is "vista.taf" and is assumed to be located in the
working directory.If taf does not end with the directory separator
character, db_VISTA will assume that the variable is the complete file
name. This function must be called before the database is opened.

to all db_VISTA users on the system.
