The trace formatting options tell ARCPRPDO what to do with the collected data. All the formatting options are optional. The formatting options are:

>>-+-------------+---------------------------------------------><
   '-+-COMPACT-+-'   
     +-COPY----+     
     +-FORMAT--+     
     '-NOPRINT-'     

COPY

This option routes trace data that matches your selection criteria to the data set specified for your ARCOUT DD. This new data set may now act as the raw data for subsequent search runs.

COMPACT

This option formats the trace entries into single-line output, if possible. The compact option is the default option and does not need to be specified.

FORMAT

This option formats each trace keyword on a separate line. The keyword itself is printed at the start of each line.

NOPRINT

This option prevents any selected records from being written to the ARCPRINT DD. NOPRINT is intended to be used with the copy option. An ARCPRINT DD statement is still required when you select the NOPRINT option, as it contains messages and other information.
