NEXT Command

The NEXT command displays records starting from the next record in the trace file.

The number of records displayed by a single NEXT command never exceeds the

number set by the LIMIT command. Records that do not meet the current selection

criteria are not counted and are not displayed.

count

specifies the number of records to be displayed. If count is omitted, one record is

displayed.

AFTER [date]time

indicates that PTrace is to move to the first record whose timestamp is greater than

or equal to the [date] time specified before selecting the next records for display.

date is an optional parameter. If date is omitted, it is replaced by the date found

in the previously displayed record; if there is none, the date is taken from the trace

file header (start of trace). date is in the form:

mm/dd/yyyy

time represents a 24-hour-clock time. You must specify the hours (hh) and

minutes (mm); you can optionally specify the seconds (ss) and microseconds

(tttttt):

hh:mm[:ss[.tttttt]]

Pressing the BREAK key terminates the NEXT command search or display.
