TRACE_FILE_LINES - UCMD Manager configuration option

Description

The TRACE_FILE_LINES option specifies the maximum number of lines to write to the trace file.

(The average size of a trace file line is 50 characters.)

A trace file is generated when the MESSAGE_LEVEL option is set to a value of trace. The trace file will wrap around when the maximum number of lines has been reached and start writing trace entries after the trace header lines.

tip

The trace file is written to the UNVTRACE ddname.

TRACE_FILE_LINES has no effect if the UNVTRACE ddname has allocated a JES SYSOUT file.
