Turning on Trace Points Using the TRACE Command

Use the TRACE command to control (turn on and off) trace points in your product. When you turn on a trace point, the system considers the trace point to be active and stores information for trace point in the trace file.

Refer to OS/2 Warp Version 4 Command Reference for information about using the TRACE command and its parameters.

The following two statements need to be added to your CONFIG.SYS file before you use the TRACE command:

TRACEBUF=x

x is used to set the trace buffer size. Valid values are from 1 to 63 kilobytes (KB). The default size of the buffer is 4 KB.
TRACE=ì ON | OFF ┘
Used to turn trace on or off.

If neither statement (TRACEBUF nor TRACE) is included in the CONFIG.SYS file on your system, trace is disabled.
