Ending a PTrace Session
Note that ASCII-to-EBCDIC translation is handled differently from EBCDIC-to-ASCII
translation. With ASCII-to-EBCDIC translation, you can use the default ASCII-to-
EBCDIC translation table, or you can use a modified translation table with the
SETTRANSLATE command. You would enter the SETTRANSLATE command and
include the translation table. Then you would set the TRANSLATE flag to ON.
The EBCDIC-to-ASCII translation table is fixed; you cannot change the translation
table. Its character conversions are the reverse of those in the default ASCII-to-
EBCDIC table.
Ending a PTrace Session
An EXIT command from any input source terminates a PTrace session normally. The
following exceptions can also cause PTrace to terminate:
•
If an end-of-file condition is encountered (for example, the end of a disk file or a
CTRL-Y sequence entered at a terminal), PTrace returns to its first input source. If
there is no other input source, PTrace terminates.
•
If an irrecoverable (fatal) error occurs, PTrace terminates.
•
If a nonfatal error occurs, PTrace attempts to return to the first interactive (terminal)
input source. If there is no interactive source, PTrace terminates.
