HEXFORMAT, SUBSYS, and SYSTEM trace records

HEXFORMAT, SUBSYS, and SYSTEM records represent events for which GTF could not format the records.

HEXFORMAT   AID hh FID hh EID hh hhhhhhhh hhhhhhh ...

SUBSYS      AID hh FID hh EID hh hhhhhhhh hhhhhhh ...

SYSTEM      AID hh FID hh EID hh hhhhhhhh hhhhhhh ...
HEXFORMAT
Indicates an event signalled by a GTRACE macro. The macro specified no formatting routine (FID=00).
SUBSYS
Indicates an event signalled by a GTRACE macro. The macro specified a formatting routine (FID=hh) that could not be found.
SYSTEM
Indicates a system event. The trace record could not be formatted for one of the following reasons:
  • If EEEE hex appears in bytes 0-1 or 8-9 of the recorded data, an unrecoverable error occurred in a GTF data-gathering routine. Message AHL118I is written on the console, identifying the module that caused the error and the action taken. (The message indicates that GTF will no longer trace this type of event. No more records for this type of event will appear in the trace output.)
  • If EEEE hex does not appear in bytes 0-1 or 8-9 of the recorded data, the record could not be formatted because the GTF formatting routine could not be found.
AID hh
Application identifier, which should always be AID FF.
FID hh
Format identifier of the routine (AMDUSRhh or AMDSYShh) that was to format this record.
EID hh
Event identifier, which uniquely identifies the event that produced the record.
hhhhhhhh hhhhhhhh ...
Recorded data (256 bytes maximum).
