Note:
  1. If FORMAT is specified and the VTAM® format module is not found or is unusable, a message is issued and the job is stopped. To recover, do either of the following actions and rerun the job:
    • Find the current version of AMDUSRFD and add a STEPLIB DD statement to your application.
    • Specify NOFORMAT to print the VIT entries in hexadecimal with an eye-catcher.
  2. The TRACEFORMAT option is valid only for VIT extraction, and results in output in the same format as that of the TRACE input data set.
  3. If you specify the TRACEFORMAT option, the output from the VIT analysis may be processed by:
    • The VIT analysis tool
    • ACF/TAP
    • IPCS GTFTRACE, unless the VIT was recorded internally and was extracted from a dump by the VTAMMAP VITAL function
  4. The 20 characters that follow the word TITLE are used as the title. The rest of the input line is ignored.
  5. DESC may contain up to 75 additional characters, and you can code up to 4 DESC parameters. DESC must be the only option on the line and must be the first 4 characters on the line followed by at least one blank.
