Getting Help
ON
enables the formatted display of trace records. When On all the content of the trace 
record can be displayed.
OFF
disables the formatted display trace records.  When Off, only the first line of the 
trace record is displayed.
Considerations
•
If the LABEL command is not used, ON is assumed.
•
If LABEL is specified without ON or OFF, ON is assumed.
•
The RESET and FROM commands set LABEL to ON.
Example
When LABEL is ON, a trace record would be displayed as:
10/22/92 03:36:27.632813 >000.000000 #1 ENTRYPOINT
hgs_handle_system_msg() 
When LABEL is OFF, the same trace record would be displayed as:
10/22/92 03:36:27.632813 >000.000000 #1 ENTRYPOINT
Getting Help
When using the SCF TRACE command to create a complete trace file that might be sent 
to Compaq for analysis, issue the SCF TRACE command with the default select-
spec values (the default is ALL) to collect all information in the unformatted trace file. 
It is recommended that you send the unformatted trace file, rather than a formatted 
PTrace file.
Follow the standard procedures at your site for contacting the appropriate support 
personnel. These procedures might involve contacting the local Compaq National 
Support Center or your local Compaq Support representative. For information on 
contacting a Compaq representative, refer to the Getting Help subsection in Section 9 of 
the OSI/MHS Configuration and Management Manual.
