Mike, I suspect I do not have the authority to run GTF on the Zxplore system, not to mention I have no knowledge of how to run it in the first place. My userid on Zxplore is just like any of the other “students” registered to learn there, with deliberately limited authority.
It would fall to the Zxplore admin to both change the SLIP to use the DEBUG parameter, communicate with me to run the failing process, and then run the GTF trace to see what happened. That may be a bit much to ask of the admin, given the many other issues he has to deal with on that system. As I said earlier, the ibmdb package is NOT on their list of “we will support that for student use” products. The support I have been getting with setting up the SLIP is already outside of their usual procedures, for which I have been grateful. I will ask if the process you suggest is within his time availability.
