TRACE I does not seem to work.

[Sandy]

Hi,

I have written a REXX code which I want to debug. I used TRACE I but for some reason it does not seem to work. I mean when I execute the code it does not go in tracer? What can be the reason?

What can be the reason?

Obviously You made a mistake somewhere

My REXX is an edit macro and I have used the TRACE I like this:

Code: Select all

/* REXX EDIT MACRO                                              */
/* EXPAND ALL COPY STATEMENTS IN A COBOL PROGRAM                */
TRACE I                                                           
ADDRESS ISREDIT                                                   
"MACRO PROCESS"                                                   
/* ============================================================ */
..

There is more code after that.

Use

Code: Select all

trace ?i

and drown in messages. Better use

Code: Select all

trace ?r

Thank you prino. How could I overlook that!

[Sandy]

Use Code: Select alltrace ?i

and drown in messages. Better use

How do I stop these message if mistakenly done that? Attention key does help in this.

The iscussion on Trace in the manual tells you how to stop tracing during execution.
