Trace Options

When specifying trace options, you can:

Direct CA ADS Trace to enter the trace code automatically, by entering a single letter next to the process name on the Build Trace Code screen.
Exclude control commands from the trace.
Trace only DEFINE SUBROUTINE commands. (After reviewing the trace replay that shows the DEFINE SUBROUTINE commands, you can decide whether or not to trace the whole dialog or part of the dialog, and which options to use.)
Direct CA ADS Trace to display the execution-time contents of any exhibited dialog work records, database fields, or map variables.
Direct the Trace option to display user-supplied literal statements so that specific events in the trace replay will be highlighted.
Direct the Trace option to trace a segment of the dialog (internal trace), marked by TRACE ON and TRACE OFF statements.
Select individual process modules for tracing (and exclude other process modules). This feature is especially useful in a complex transaction with many transfers of control.
Trace only database verbs. After each database verb, the trace replay shows the error status of the verb.
Limit the number of lines to be stored in the scratch area.
Specify a Generate Wait Interval to control the number of times the interrupt routine is called during module trace generation.
Review the status of existing traced processes and dialogs.
Remove trace statements from a process or dialog.
