TRACE_FILE_LINES - USAP configuration option
Description
The TRACE_FILE_LINES option specifies the maximum number of lines to write to the trace file.
A trace file is generated when the MESSAGE_LEVEL option is set to 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.
z/OS
In order for the trace file to wrap, the data set must support repositioning. Only sequential, fixed record format data sets support repositioning.
