Exchange/RJE Commands

Considerations The DUMP command formats and lists the contents of a trace file. The trace file must
already exist. You can list a trace file that is still in use. In this case, the most recent
trace records are still in the trace server buffer and have not yet been written to the
trace file. Therefore, the most recent trace records are not included in the output of the
DUMP command. To view the most recent trace records, you must first stop the trace
server with the TRACE command. For more information on the trace server and the
trace file, see the TRACE command later in this section.
Default DUMP Command
If you use the DUMP command and omit all optional parameters, a summary of the
trace is displayed on the home terminal (or written to the file specified in the OUT
option of the RJECIR command).
Output to a Printer
To format the trace file and list it on a printer, specify the name of a spooler location as
the output file in the OUT parameter. For example, to send the output to a printer
named “lazer” controlled by a spooler named $s, you would specify $s.#lazer as the
output file.
Errors
If an error occurred during the sending or receiving of a block, the ERROR field in the
trace record contains the corresponding error number. An error number of 0 indicates
no error occurred. For the meaning of error numbers other than 0, see Section 4 .
