Ending the record management trace function

Tracing of a data set is terminated for a job when the data set is closed. To terminate tracing without closing the data set, you can stop GTF. You can then resume tracing by starting GTF again with the USR=FF5 parameter.

If you are using started task IDAVDT, you can end tracing for a specific data set, while continuing tracing for other data sets, with this command:

F IDAVDT,DISABLE=n

where n is the trace entry for the data set. You can stop the IDAVDT started task with this command: STOP IDAVDT.
