ISPTRACE | NOISPTRACE

Details

If ISPTRACE is specified, then all ISPF service calls and return codes are written to the SAS log. Fixed binary parameters are written to the SAS log, converted to decimal display. After a VDEFINE or VDELETE service request, the list of currently defined SAS variables is written to the SAS log.

If NOISPTRACE is in effect, then ISPF service calls and return codes are not written to the SAS log.

Note: The ISPTRACE option can be set based on the value of the ISPF variable named DMITRACE. In the following example, if the DMITRACE value is YES, then ISPTRACE is in effect. If the DMITRACE value is NO, then NOISPTRACE is in effect. [cautionend]

CALL ISPLINK('DMI','*ISPTRACE');

To display the current settings of your ISPF options, use PROC OPTIONS GROUP=ISPF.
