TRACE

Use the TRACE statement to define the required level of tracing for a specified range of connections. All tracing levels default to OFF unless overridden by any appropriate TRACE statement. Trace output is written to the SYSPRINT data set.

   .-TRACE OFF ALL-----------------------.   
>>-+-------------------------------------+---------------------><
   |        .-OFF----.                   |

Parameters

OFF
Disables tracing for all connections in the specified range. If OFF, DETAIL, or ON is not specified, OFF is the default. For example, specifying TRACE IP=dest_ip would disable tracing for only the connection associated with dest_ip.
DETAIL
Enables a detailed level of tracing for all connections in the specified range.
ON
Enables a basic level of tracing for all connections in the specified range.
IP=dest_ip
The destination IP address associated with the connection for which tracing is enabled or disabled. A DEST statement defining a destination IP address must appear before a TRACE statement for the same destination IP address.
ALL
If the ALL parameter is specified, tracing for all destinations (either currently defined or still to be defined) is set to the requested level.
