Specifying the MISC server parameters

The MISC server generates periodic messages whenever a client sends data to ports 7, 9, or 19. If this server runs continually for a long period of time, considerable amounts of spool space can be consumed. Therefore, the MISC server has all tracing turned off by default.

You can enable the trace options for any of the three MISC server protocols using the PARMS= parameter on the PROC statement of the cataloged procedure. These options will be in effect when the server starts.
TRACE
Turns on tracing for any of the specified protocols and must be followed by one or more of these three keywords:
ECho
Specifies tracing for the echo protocol on port 7.
DIscard
Specifies tracing for the discard protocol on port 9.
CHargen
Specifies tracing for the character generator protocol on port 19.
DEbug
Specifies tracing for problem determination.
For example, the following statement turns tracing on for the echo and discard protocols.
//MISCSERV PROC MODULE=MISCSRV,PARMS='TRACE ECHO DISCARD'
