Testing Your Application

Follow these steps:

  1. The Diagram Trace Utility is usable only if you generated load modules with trace support. The resulting load modules contain all the additional logic necessary to allow the special trace functions to occur.
  2. You can generate trace for a single procedure step, an entire load module, or your complete application.
  3. The resulting load modules are much larger than they would be without trace. If space is a problem, consider generating trace selectively. During load module generation, you can generate the trace code only for the elements you want to test.
  4. To use the trace functions during test, you must enable them before you access the AEF.
  5. When you are instructed to press End while on a trace screen, be sure to use the end key assigned to your testing environment, not the one assigned to the application being tested.

If you generated the entire load module or application with trace, you can elect to turn trace off using the TRACE OFF command.
