NEXT Command
date 
is an optional parameter in the following form:
mm/dd/yyyy
If date is omitted, it is replaced by the date found in the previously displayed 
record. If there is no previously displayed record, the date is taken from the 
trace file header (start of trace). 
time 
represents a 24-hour-clock time in the following form:
hh:mm[:ss[.tttttt]]
You must specify the hours (hh) and minutes (mm). You can optionally specify 
the seconds (ss) and microseconds (tttttt).
Once a record is found that has a timestamp greater than or equal to the 
timestamp specified, the count parameter (or function key that is pressed, as 
discussed in the following subsection) determines the number of records sent to 
the output.
Considerations: PTrace NEXT Command
•
Pressing the BREAK key terminates the NEXT command search or display.
•
The function keys on an HP 6530 terminal can be used as shorthand for various 
NEXT count commands. For example, pressing the F6 function key displays six 
records. 
Examples: PTrace NEXT Command
1. The following example sets detail to on to display the information and then displays 
the next record (record 1):
?DETAIL ON
Ptrace Detail Format: ON
?NEXT
11:27:50.630 >000.000 #1 Common kernel
SSN : 155
Product banner : SNMP Agent (T9576D23 15MAR97 AAG)
Kernel banner : COM-KRNL (T6563D20 01SEP96 T07L^AAS)
Record 1 is written by Common Kernel into the trace file. This is the only record 
that differs from rest of the records written by the NonStop agent.
Note. The year field must be four digits.
