Formatting and printing trace records

Table 1 indicates which traces can be formatted and printed by each of the formatting programs.¹ Descriptions of the programs appear later in the topic. In this table:

FP indicates that the trace is both formatted and printed (for VTAM® records only).
UP indicates that the trace is printed but not formatted.
A blank entry indicates that the trace is not formatted or printed.
