TRACE Function

Like standard REXX, the TRACE function returns the current value of the TRACE setting and optionally changes it to the value specified for setting.

Unlike standard REXX, program lines consisting solely of comments do not appear in OPS/REXX TRACE output.

Note: For more information about the OPS/REXX TRACE instruction, see Using OPS/REXX in the User Guide.

TRACE has the following format:

var = TRACE(setting)

setting

Supports all values for setting that standard REXX supports, except the following values:

Setting	Function
!	Inhibit host command execution
?	Control interactive tracing
n or -n	Set interactive trace counts
S	Scan TRACE (without execution)
