Dear expert:
Is there any possible way to redirect rexx trace output to dataset instead of interactively during TSO session (NOT batch mode). Because I have rexx pgm with ISPF table update which have transient error and I wish to capture what happen to the program.
thanks

You could try allocating SYSPRINT to a dataset but I do not know if Trace writes its output to SYSPRINT or some other DD name.

Never actually tried this from foreground, but DDname SYSTSPRT is used for batch.

I have tried putting SYSTSPRT and SYSPRINT to dataset but, unless I am doing summat wrong, the output from trace still goes to the screen.

I have obtained a process that works but...if your program is interactive you will not get a prompt - if your interactivity is via ISPF screens only then it may work - I have not tested that yet nor have I asked the originator of the code - yet.

Hi ,
Try using OUTTRAP function.Put TRACE command and statement inside outtrap function.And you can store it in any stem and use it.
thanks,

Outtrap does not trap trace output and trying this really messes up an interactive session.
