Hi All,
I my previous project I was using TRACE ON (on command line) while I opened my cobol program in edit mode. The TRACE on used to display all the PAPAs called while execution of the program. For some reasons my intertest is not working. So I am trying TRACE on option, so that I get the flow of my program for a given i/p record. But in this project it seems TRACE on is not working.
It would be really helpful If anybody can provide me the REXX routine for the same. |

With the introduction of COBOL II, some 20+ years ago, the TRACE option (assuming that you're referring to READY TRACE) was removed.
The following link outlines features which were removed from OS/VS COBOL upon migration to VS COBOL II -

Hello,
The rexx trace is for trouble-shooting rexx code. I've not seen it used to trace cobol.
If your system has intertest, it would probably be a good thing to do to determine why it is not now working. Possibly working with the technical support people can get intertest working again.
If not and something must be worked with today, suggest you place some DISPLAY statements thru the code to manually track the code. |

The TRACE ON can be keyed in on command line (while cobol code is opened in edit mode). The hit enter, it will put display statements in every para.
like
A000-PARA1.
DISPLAY " A000-PARA1."
MOVE A TO B.
---
---
---
B000-PARA2.
DISPLAY " B000-PARA2."
MOVE D TO F.
Then the pgm needs to be compiled to get the desired result. |

Hello,
This TRACE sounds like a site-specific utiliity that inserts/removes a DISPLAY after each paragraph name.
You might look here for a similar tool that you could use on your system (Thanks to Anuj  )

| The "USE FOR DEBUGGING ON ALL PROCEDURES" clause in Enterprise COBOL acts very similar to what READY TRACE did in OS/VS COBOL. See Programming Language Reference Manual, DEBUGGING Declarative. |

Well, that's why Indian gets most of the support projects - I, for one, sometimes feel - do the people like us have future in India in IT or should I move to some other country. It looks like, there is no more fun in IT around here - I'm disappointed.  |

rename it to something like ADDDISP
trace and derivatives are reserved words. |

my using the term rookies has nothing to do with ethnic background.
is only has to do with experience.
and don't read anything else into my comment. |

since this is an edit macro, you do not need (actually you should not)
type TSO macroname
simply type macroname on command line. |
