How You Send Trace Data to a SYSOUT Class

To tell CA MIM to write trace records to a SYSOUT class, specify a ddname of MIMTRACE and any of the following SYSOUT parameters.

For example, to make a class A MIMTRACE data set available, issue this command:

ALLOCATE DDNAME=MIMTRACE SYSOUT=A

You can specify any one or more of the following parameters when allocating a SYSOUT data set:

COPIES

Prints additional copies.

DEST

Sends the data set to the specified print device.

FCB

Determines what forms control buffer image is used during printing.

FORMS

Indicates what form is used when this data set is printed.

HOLD

Determines whether this SYSOUT data set is held until you release it. Specify HOLD=YES to hold the data set or HOLD=NO to have it print automatically when it is de-allocated.

UCS

Determines what universal character set, print train, or character arrangement table is used for this data set.

The following example shows how you would allocate a MIMTRACE data set and print five copies of this data set:

ALLOCATE DDNAME=MIMTRACE SYSOUT=A COPIES=5
