Generate Source Code with Trace (Gen All)

Trace support allows Diagram Testing. It tells CA Gen to generate additional source code, which allows you to 'step through' the execution of the procedure-action diagrams, for your application, after you generate and install the source code. If you intend to test a load module or its components with the trace option, you must generate trace support at the time you generate the load module.

Note that this option has no effect if the Generation action is Code, Selected. During selective generation, the TRCE (trace) column lets you include Trace code only in the load module components you designate.

When you do not choose this option, you can still test your application, but you cannot view the underlying logic. The default choice is to not generate trace code.
