For example, shown below is trace message for the Name data object: 
A sample portion of a trace file follows: 
(Level 2: Offset 0, len 6, comp 1 of 2, #1, DI 00000001:) 
Data at offset 0 ('Nicole') was found to be of TYPE 
X'0004' (Name Data). 
The level of an object indicates the position of the data object with respect to the 
entire card object. A card object has level 0; a component of the card object has 
level 1, and so on. 
When Data is Valid 
During data validation, a given data object is examined, and compared to its type 
definition. If a data object matches the type definition, the object is valid and the 
trace file indicates the object was found to be of that type. For example, in the 
trace message below, the data Nicole is a valid Name data object. It was found 
to be of the type Name. 
(Level 2: Offset 0, len 6, comp 1 of 2, #1, DI 00000001:) 
Data at offset 0 ('Nicole') was found to be of TYPE 
X'0004' (Name Data).
