VMS

HDSTRACE runs as an ADAM task. ADAM must therefore be initiated directly or indirectly using the ADAMSTART or ADAM command before HDSTRACE can be run.

HDSTRACE may be run directly from DCL with the following command.

    $ HDSTRACE

You will be prompted for the HDS object or structure to be traced.

If you wish to trace several files or objects it is more efficient to run HDSTRACE from ICL. If you are already using ICL just enter

    ICL> HDSTRACE

If you are in DCL, the following will start both ICL and TRACE.

    $ ADAM HDSTRACE

The command can be abbreviated to HDST and the old command TRACE will also work from both VMS and ICL.
