CHECKING the TRANSACTION LOG

I am running SLQ 2000 SP4. I used to use the DBCC CHECKTABLE (syslogs) to
check the transaction log on a SQL 6.5 server. This doesn't work on a SQL
2000 Server. Is there a equivalent command or procedure. Thanks.
Hi Tom
Because log files are separate physical files this command is redundant. If

For other database consistency checks DBCC CHECKDB, DBCC CHECKTABLE, DBCC
CHECKALLOC...

For 7.0 and 2000, DBCC CHECKDB and CHECKCATALOG covers integrity checks for
a database.
For 2005, you don't need CHECKCATALOG.
