Printing the trace records
To format and print the trace records, use the File Select and Formatting Print utility (DFSERA10).
The DC trace snaps DC control blocks and I/O buffers to the OLDS/WADS as X'6701' log records. These records are archived to the system log data set (SLDS).
To format and print the trace records, use the following method:
- File Select and Formatting Print utility (DFSERA10) To use the File Select and Formatting Print utility (DFSERA10), specify
E=DFSERA30
to format the records before printing. The following example shows the JCL you might use to print DC trace records.
where// JOB jobname //S EXEC PGM=DFSERA10 //SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=A //SYSUT1 DD DSN=DSN of SLDS,.............. //SYSIN DD * CONTROL CNTL OPTION PRINT O=5,V=6701,L=2,T=X,E=DFSERA30 //
O = Offset
L = Length
V = Value
T = Type
E = ExitEven if the DC trace was started for many terminals, you can print trace entries for a specific terminal by using the following OPTION statement.CONTROL CNTL DDNAME=.... OPTION PRINT O=5,T=X,L=1,V=67,C=M OPTION PRINT O=89,T=C,L=8,V=xxxxxxxx,C=E,E=DFSERA30
where xxxxxxxx = terminal (node) name
A trace record might span several X'6701' log records. If you use the OPTIONS statements, only the first log record is printed.
