STREAM

Purpose

There are times when messages span multiple packets. TELNET and DNS are examples. The STREAM report (with the DUMP or FORMAT keywords) captures the entire stream of data.

Format

The following command was used to obtain the example of this report.
CTRACE COMP(SYSTCPIS) SUB((TCPCS)) SHORT DSN('IBMUSER.CTRACE1') OPTIONS((OPT STREAM DUMP ASCII))
