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 19-9 lists the Expand subsystem SCF commands that can be used to start and
stop tracing.
Refer to Section 16, Tracing for more information about the tracing process and using
PTrace to format and display trace records.
