SELECT and SELMASK Commands
For the service manager, no subsystem-specific SELECT keywords are available; you
must use the SELMASK command to select specific types of service manager trace
records. (The SELECT ALL option is available, however, and in most cases this is the
recommended selection for service manager traces.)
Examples
In the following examples, it is assumed that the trace was collected using the
SELECT ALL option of the TRACE command. If you used a more limited SELECT
option, some of the trace records selected in PTrace might not be available for viewing.
It is also assumed that the name of a trace file has previously been specified with the
FROM command. Otherwise, PTrace returns an error message, and the SELECT or
SELMASK command has no effect.

The following PTrace command selects the trace records for incoming and
outgoing PIUs and BIUs in a LINE trace file:
SELECT (L3,L4)

The following command selects the trace records for passthrough messages
(type 129) in a LINE trace file:
SELECT 129

The following command selects the trace records for message-system traffic in a
LINE trace file:
SELMASK %H00800000
