Description

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

When this maximum number of lines has been reached, the trace file will wrap around and the UCMD Server will start writing trace entries after the trace header lines.

z/OS

Trace file wrapping is supported only with sequential data sets that have a fixed record format. Partitioned data sets or variable record formats are not supported.

Note

A trace file is generated when the MESSAGE_LEVEL option is set to a value of trace.
