Activates detailed tracing of all Mainframe Access activity. Trace output is directed to the destination (SYSPRINT, GTF or CONSOLE) specified by the TRACE parameter during Mainframe Access startup. For more information about these options see the entry for the TRACE parameter in the section Editing Mainframe Access Parameters in the chapter Configuration. For a tip about viewing trace data sent to SYSPRINT interactively see the FLUSH XDBOUTcommand description
Here is an example of a TRACE ON command and the response:
F MFA,TRACE ON MFM0015I: MFM0025I: Trace set to data level on
The TRACE SHORT command activates the same detailed tracing as does the TRACE ON command. The SHORT option limits the display of send data, receive data and storage areas to 256 characters. This can be useful in reducing the amount of trace output, particularly when the message sizes are large.
Here is an example of a TRACE SHORT command and the response:
F MFA,TRACE SHORT MFM0015I: MFM0025I: Trace set to data level on
