SELECT Command
first
is an integer that specifies the record number of the first, or only, record to be
displayed.
last
is an integer that specifies the record number of the last record in a range of records
to be displayed.
ALL
specifies that all records in the trace file are to be displayed.
Considerations
•
The first record in the trace file, the trace-file header record, is record number 0. The
first data record is record number 1.
•
A slash (/) can be used in place of the comma (,) in the RECORD command
syntax.
•
Pressing the BREAK key terminates the display of records.
SELECT Command
The SELECT command establishes the selection criteria that control which trace records
are to be displayed. When PTrace is determining which records to display in response to
a NEXT, FIND, or RECORD command, it checks its selection mask to determine
whether or not the record is of a type that you want to display. PTrace also checks many
other session parameters, such as those established by FILTER and LIMIT.
You can select specific records in two ways within the Envoy subsystem:
1. Through a keyword that is translated into an enumerated value or through a number
that is saved as an enumerated value.
2. Through a 32-bit selection mask.
The command syntax is as follows:
ALL
selects all trace-selection options.
CURRENT
selects the currently defined trace-selection options.
SELECT [ ALL ]
[ CURRENT ]
[ number ]
[ keyword ]
[ ( keyword [ , keyword ] ... ) ]
