You would have to use an I-type, e.g.

ID: WHOLE.LOG
001 I
002 LOWER(@RECORD)
003
004 Whole Log
005 50L

Caveat: This works on jBASE 5. I have not tested it on other releases.

To be perfectly honest, you chose the wrong data structure; instead of
attributes, the log entries should be multi-values which would allow you to
create a plain old dictionary item pointing to the attribute that contains
the data.
