the STATETABLES command to identify it.

The FROM command resets current session parameters to their default values.
For more information, see RESET Command.

the device type and subtype of the new trace file are the same as the last trace file,
SELECT options and state-table labels are not reset.

The FROM command automatically displays the trace file header record (record 0)
when it opens the new trace file.
