Pressing the BREAK key terminates processing of the command file, and input
reverts to the terminal.

You cannot use nested command files in PTrace. If PTrace encounters a nested
command file, the program terminates (abends).
Examples: OBEY Command
OCTAL Command
The OCTAL command controls the OCTAL display option. When OCTAL is enabled,
PTrace displays an octal dump of trace-file records (excluding the record header), with
character equivalents printed to the right of the dump.
ON
enables octal display mode.
OFF
disables octal display mode.
Considerations: OCTAL Command
•
If the OCTAL command is not used, OFF is assumed.
•
If OCTAL is specified without ON or OFF, ON is assumed.
•
The RESET and FROM commands set OCTAL to OFF.
