<h1 class="topictitle1">Use traces</h1>
<div><p>A trace is the process of recording the sequence in which the statements
in a program are processed. </p>
<div class="section"> <p>A trace differs from a breakpoint in that you are not given control
during the trace. The system records the traced statements that were processed.
However, the trace information is not automatically displayed
when the program completes processing. You must request the display of trace
information using the <span class="cmdname">Display Trace Data (DSPTRCDTA)</span> command.
The display shows the sequence in which the statements were processed and,
if requested, the values of the variables specified on the <span class="cmdname">Add Trace
(ADDTRC)</span> command.</p>
</div>

<ul class="ullinks">
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="adtrc.htm">Add traces to programs</a></strong><br />
Adding a trace consists of specifying what statements are to be traced and, if you want, the names of program variables.</li>
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="instp.htm">Use instruction stepping</a></strong><br />
You can step through the instructions of a program by using the <span class="cmdname">Start
Debug (STRDBG)</span> or <span class="cmdname">Change Debug (CHGDBG)</span> commands.</li>
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="usbkp.htm">Use breakpoints within traces</a></strong><br />
Breakpoints can be used within a trace range.</li>
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rmtrs.htm">Remove trace information from the system</a></strong><br />
You can specify whether the trace information is removed from the system or left on the system after the information is displayed.</li>
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rmtrp.htm">Remove traces from programs</a></strong><br />
You can remove all or some of the trace ranges that you specified.</li>
