GTF writes trace data in GTF trace tables in the GTF address space in storage. GTF trace data in storage are printed or viewed as part of a dump, if the dump options list includes TRT to request trace data. The following table shows the dumps that have TRT in their default options. For unformatted dumps that are printed or viewed through IPCS, format the trace data by specifying the IPCS GTFTRACE subcommand or using the IPCS Trace Processing selection panel.
To format and print GTF trace data in a GTFOUTxx or IEFRDER data set, specify the IPCS GTFTRACE subcommand or use the IPCS Trace Processing selection panel.
If the GTF data was created for VTAM® diagnosis, you can use the ACF/TAP program to format the VTAM data.
