Enable Statement Tracing and Data Monitoring

Use the TRACE command to enable the statement tracing facility. This creates a table whose number of entries is defined by the STMTTRCE option in IN25OPTS. This is a wraparound table, meaning that when all of the entries are used, the oldest entry is used for the current statement.

Use the DATAMON command, or DM, to enable data monitoring for the given program. If the Statement Trace facility was not in effect when data monitoring is set, a statement trace table is created.
