Trace identifier
SAFTRACE Record type 54.
Record eyecatcher
Eyecatcher for the SAFTRACE record type: RTRACE.
Trace type
Identifies what trace this is. Types are OMVS for callable services, MNGR for manager calls, or RACF® for RACROUTE traces. These types are followed by PRE or POST to indicate the record pertains to a pre-function trace or post-function trace.
Ending sequence
This will contain a unique identifier in the case of the trace record exceeded the maximum size. In case of an abend during the trace, it will contain RECOVERY. Ending sequences indicate a problem occurred during trace capture. If you find these, it is indicative of a problem with the parameter list built by the caller of the function.
Calling address
Address of the caller. This is useful along with a dump of the address space when determining the caller of the service in question. It may not be possible to determine the caller of the function using the Request/Subsystem (when available).
Requestor/Subsystem
Caller's SAFPREQR and SAFPSUBS as specified on RACROUTE.
Primary jobname
Primary jobname.
Primary asid
Primary ASID.
Primary ACEEP
Primary ASID related ACEE pointer, as indicated in ASXBSENV.

Return area address
Address of data returned by the function. When used with a dump of an address space, storage creep problems can be isolated to the application.
