The FSTRCE statement controls internal trace functions. It is intended for internal error diagnosis.

By default, trace is deactivated.

In coding the control parameter for FSTRCE, you must decide the level of trace you need to diagnose the problem:

Level 1 -
Component
Level 2 -
Subcomponent
Level 3 -
Module.

Each lower trace level includes tracing of higher levels. For example, level 3 tracing (module tracing) also includes levels 2 and 1 (subcomponent and component tracing).

Note: Depending on the complexity of the program being diagnosed, you may get excessive quantities of trace output generated if level 3 trace is used with all components enabled. Therefore, you are advised to initially use level 1 to locate the component in error, and then use level 3 with all other components disabled to enable you to trace the specific module in error.

Reminder: The first byte or bit of a sequence is designated as byte or bit 0, as appropriate.
