ALL indicates all types of trace entries are traced. This section also includes the JOBNAME which indicates the tracing scope in relation to jobs being run. ASID indicates the tracing scope in relation to address spaces. ASID means tracing is limited to a particular address space and * indicates tracing is performed for all address spaces.

The last section, TRACING EVENTS, indicates which SMS events are selected for tracing.
