TRACE command for VSAM RLS component trace

The syntax of the TRACE command for tracing the VSAM RLS component follows: TRACE CT,WTRSTART=membername or TRACE CT,WTRSTOP=membername or TRACE CT,ON|nnnK|nnnM|OFF,COMP=SYSSMS,PARM=CTISMSxx-->

PARM=CTISMSxx identifies the SYS1.PARMLIB member that contains the tracing options.

The default SYSSMS trace table size is 72 KB.

The nnnK or nnnM keywords can be used to specify trace table sizes of 16–999 KB or 1–2047 MB, respectively.

You are then prompted to specify the trace options to be in effect. You must respond with the REPLY command, using the following syntax: REPLYid ,JOBNAME=SMSVSAM ,ASID=(smsvsam-asidlist.) ,OPTIONS=(namename...) ,WTR=procname|DISCONNECT ,END-->

Note:

The id value is the identification number, 0-99, specified in the prompting message.
The REPLY may be continued on multiple lines; the END must be given as the final parameter to identify the end of the REPLY.
OPTIONAL (only needed when using CTRACE WRITER) - Create a member in SYS1.PROCLIB to allocate a CTRACE WRITER data set(s). For an example procedure, see z/OS MVS Initialization and Tuning Reference. The name of the procedure is the name specified when starting the trace writer. For example, to start the trace writer with a procedure named CTWDASD, issue the following command:
```
TRACE CT,WTRSTART=CTWDASD
```

The TRACE and REPLY commands are fully described in z/OS MVS System Commands
