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.

z/OS

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.
