Hi Christo,

I'm not an expert when it comes to the TRACE option but I've managed
to find some information in the "Trace Facility Guide", document number
SH26-4057-00.

Basically you specify an output file:

   TRACEFILE filespace

Then you specify the flags:

   TRACEFLAGS flags

Allowable flags are:

ALL               All traceflags except INSTR, INSTR_CLIENT, DETAIL,
                  INSTR_VERBOSE
ADMIN             Administrative component
ALLCOMM           Enables COMM, 3270COMM, EHLLAPI, 3270ERROR
ALLSESS           Enables SESSION, VERBINFO, SESSVERB, VERBADMIN
ALLFILE           Enables DIROPS, FILEOPS, FIOATTRIBS
ALLBACK           Enables INCR, TXN, POLICY
ALLPROC           Enables ALLBACK, ALLFILE, ALLSESS
