Privilege Class: G
Use TRACE COUNT to count the successful trace events in your virtual machine.
1. The TRACE COUNT function lets you count the number of successful trace
events in the current trace set. While TRACE COUNT is active, no other trace
output is produced. The virtual machine does not stop after each event, even if
you specify NORUN.
2. You can use the TRACE END COUNT command to end TRACE COUNT.
However, when you enter any valid TRACE command, the system displays the
value of the current count, and TRACE COUNT terminates.
If you enter TRACE COUNT when COUNT is already active, the system
displays the current count, and the count resumes from 0.
When the TRACE COUNT reaches 16 million, the system displays that count
and resumes from 0.
3. The current COUNT is also included in the QUERY TRACE response.
4. For more information, see “Usage Notes” on page 1601.
