15 Tracing
This section describes the tracing process when the SCF TRACE command is used
with commands available in the PTrace facility. The SCF TRACE command allows you
to select the records that you want written to a disk file. PTrace commands allow you to
select which of those records you want formatted and sent to an output device. The
output device can be a terminal, spooler, or printer.
