Formatted Trace Table

The Formatted Trace Table screen enables you to view complete or filtered CICS trace table entries for the dump. You can display trace entries in Abbreviated (default), Short, or Full mode. The presentation of the trace is identical for traces that are within a transaction dump, or those captured using the SYMT trace capture facility.

The trace display starts with the first line of the captured trace. You are able to quickly navigate to where you want to in the trace by using the filter and command line features.

To display the Formatted Trace Table, select Trace under the Formatted Display category on the Display Selection menu.

The trace entries are formatted using DFHTUXX0, for the corresponding release of CICS. For help in interpreting the trace entries, see the appropriate IBM documentation.

The following sample screen shows the CA SymDump for CICS Trace, in Abbreviated Mode:

End the Formatted Trace Display. Of special note here, is that when selecting a trace from within a transaction dump, that all trace filters, highlights, and overrides will remain in effect until the dump selection is left completely. Merely leaving the trace selection does not reset these values. For traces captured via the SYMT trace capture facility, all filters, highlights, and overrides are reset when the trace is left.
