Starting and Stopping Tracing
Starting and Stopping Tracing
The Expand subsystem SCF TRACE command allows you to select the records that
you want written to a disk file. You can then use PTrace commands to select records to
be formatted and sent to an output device.
Table
18-9 lists the Expand subsystem SCF commands that can be used to start and
stop tracing.
For more information on the tracing process and using PTrace to format and display
trace records, see Section 15, Tracing.
