Re: Programmatically access the SYSTRACE data in a SVCDUMP?

[Jim Mulder]

  It would be useful be able to specify something like EXIT(program)
 on the SYSTRACE command, and have it pass you each unformatted 
trace record that it is going to format.  Unfortunately that function does 

not currently exist.  So scraping the formatted SYSTRACE output 
is the only way to do it, other than knowing how to find and merge 
the unformatted buffers yourself, which is non-trival, and not an 
interface

Or is the only standard option sending SYSTRACE top a dataset and then
scraping it?

I would like to pick out certain records and issue a WHERE on the address and
then produce a report.

Should you use the mailblocks package and expect a response from me,
you should preauthorize the dissensoftware.com domain.

I very rarely bother responding to challenge/response systems,
especially those from irresponsible companies.

What I've done is:
1. Send SYSTRACE output to a data set.
2. Use an edit macro that generates a REXX exec that contains
   IPCS NOTE commands to show the trace lines and IPCS WHERE
   commands for the PSW addresses in the trace lines.
3. Run the generated exec in IPCS.
