Determining the trace data set name

You will need to identify the name of the trace data set if you cannot allocate the trace data set, the trace data set runs out of space, or IBM® Software Support asks for it.

The name of the trace data set depends on the prefix setting in the TSO profile. To identify the name of the trace data set, you must know the prefix setting.

  • If PREFIX is set, the name of the trace data set is prefix.CCQ.TRACE, where prefix is the TSO prefix that you specified in the profile.
  • If NOPREFIX is set, the name of the trace data set is user_ID.CCQ.TRACE, where user_ID is your TSO user ID.
