This information provides a history of the parsing stack includingpushing and popping of tokens according to the grammar rules.This information is meaningful only to Cincom engineering and supportpersonnel, so you would be unlikely to use this option except with the help ofCincom personnel.Code the XTRACE parameter as follows:⎧ON⎫XTRACE ( ⎨ ⎬)⎩OFF⎭You may code XTRACE anywhere in a UCL program. You may enable the tracefunction for the entire UCL program or trace only a few statements in theprogram.Using extended execution tracingExtended execution tracing is a diagnostic tool that Cincom support personnelmay request that you run. It can be useful in debugging internal logic errors.You are unlikely to enable it except on advice from Cincom support personnel,who will ask that you send the output to them for analysis.Z/OSExtended execution tracing can be enabled by coding a value in the PARMparameter of the EXEC JCL statement, as follows:CSUNEXTR_T RACECALLS⎧YES⎫= ⎨ ⎬⎩ TRUE ⎭The output generated by this parameter also requires that you add thefollowing statement to your JCL://SYSTERM DD SYSOUT=*OPENVMSExtended tracing is enabled by defining a logical name:$ DEFINECSUNEXTR_TRACECALLS⎧YES⎫⎨ ⎬⎩TRUE⎭Extract Utility User's Guide, P25-9513-03 16Chapter: 2.
