TRACE Command Processing
The SCP process transcribes the information from the TRACE-MODIF structure to a 
second structure, ZTRC-DDL-TRACE-WORK, in which it passes the parameters to the 
subsystem. Tracing options specified by ZTRC-TKN-OPT tokens containing values less 
than or equal to 31 are reflected in the bit-settings of TRACE-WORK.ZSEL-BITS. 
Options greater than 31 are not reflected in ZSEL-BITS but are forwarded to the 
subsystem—along with those less than 31—in ZTRC-TKN-OPT tokens.
The SCP process starts a collector process, if requested, and forwards the TRACE 
command (now containing the TRACE-WORK structure) to the subsystem. The 
collector allocates the extended data segment and manages it jointly with the trace 
procedures. The subsystem records trace records by calling the appropriate trace 
procedure.
SCP Process Interpretation of ZCOM-TKN-GETVSN-TRACE-SUPP
ZTRC-VAL-SUPP-NONE SCP performs no trace work for the subsystem. SCP 
forwards all TRACE commands to the subsystem 
without intervention.
ZTRC-VAL-SUPP-ALL Equivalent to ZTRC-VAL-SUPP-SCP-ONLY.
ZTRC-VAL-SUPP-SCP-ONLY SCP uses the SCP tracing environment for all 
subsystem objects: LDEV and non-LDEV.
ZTRC-VAL-SUPP-LDEV Equivalent to ZTRC-VAL-SUPP-SCP-ONLY.
ZTRC-VAL-SUPP-NON-LDEV Equivalent to ZTRC-VAL-SUPP-SCP-ONLY.
ZTRC-VAL-SUPP-SCP-LDEV Equivalent to ZTRC-VAL-SUPP-SCP-ONLY.
Obsolete SCP Process Interpretation of ZCOM-TKN-GETVSN-TRACE-SUPP
ZTRC-VAL-SUPP-ALL SCP handles traces for all subsystem objects, using the 
CMP tracing environment for LDEV objects and the 
SCP tracing environment for non-LDEV objects.
ZTRC-VAL-SUPP-LDEV SCP uses the CMP tracing environment for any LDEV 
specified in a TRACE command. TRACE commands 
directed at non-LDEV objects are forwarded to the 
subsystem.
ZTRC-VAL-SUPP-NON-LDEV SCP uses the SCP tracing environment for any non-
LDEV specified in a TRACE command. TRACE 
commands directed at an LDEV are forwarded to the 
subsystem.
ZTRC-VAL-SUPP-SCP-LDEV SCP uses the SCP tracing environment for any LDEV 
specified in a TRACE command. TRACE commands 
directed at non-LDEV objects are forwarded to the 
subsystem.
