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.

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

Values

lines is the maximum number of lines to write to the trace file.

Default = 500,000.

Note

If space is limited in the trace file directory, set lines to a smaller value.

IBM i

If space is limited in the trace file ASP (ASP in which the UNVTMP511 library is located), set the default to a smaller value. If a larger value is required, either create or change the maximum number of records allowed in the physical file UNVTMP511/UNVTRCUBR and increase this setting. The largest value allowed without increasing the number of records allowed is 509000.
