SPCTRxx
The SPCTRxx system initialization parameter specifies the level of special tracing for a particular CICS component used by a transaction, terminal, or both.
- SPCTRxx={(1,2)|(1[,2][,3][,4])|ALL|OFF}
- You identify the component by coding a value for xx in
the keyword. You code one SPCTRxx keyword for each component that
you want to define selectively. For a CICS component that is being
specially traced and that does not have its trace level set by SPCTRxx,
the trace level is that set by SPCTR (which,
in turn, defaults to (1,2)). The CICS component codes that you can
specify for xx on the SPCTRxx keyword are shown
in the following table:

- The level numbers for the level of special tracing you want for
the required CICS component. You can use level numbers 1, 2, 3, and
4, depending on the component.
Most CICS components only use levels 1, 2 and 3, and some do not have trace points at all these levels. The exception is the SM component (storage manager domain) that has level 4 tracing. This level of tracing is intended for IBM field engineering staff.
- ALL
- You want all the available levels of special CICS tracing switched on for the specified component.
- OFF
- Switches off all levels of special CICS tracing for the CICS component
indicated by
xx.

Restrictions You can specify the SPCTRxx parameter in PARM, SYSIN, or CONSOLE only.
