The PRINT TRACE utility prints all or selected trace entries that reside in a DDLDCTRC area, a DDLDCLOG area, or one or more archive files created by the ARCHIVE TRACE or ARCHIVE LOG utilities.
You can select entries for printing based on the type of information, date and time, and task ID.
This article describes the following information:

Parameters
This section describes the PRINT TRACE command parameters:
  • FROM
    Indicates the location from which to print trace information: a database area or an archive file.
    • DATABASE
      Prints trace information from either the DDLDCTRC or the DDLDCLOG area. If the DMCL contains a DDLDCTRC area, only trace information in that area is printed; otherwise, only trace information in the DDLDCLOG area is printed.
    • ARCHIVE
      Prints trace information from one or more archive files.
      • DDNAME
        Identifies the ddname of one or more archive files whose contents are to be printed. If more than one ddname is specified, trace information is merged and displayed in chronological sequence.
      • ddname
        Specifies the ddname of an archive file.
        Default:
         SYS001
        Limit: 
        32 ddnames
      Printing trace information from multiple archive files is only available to z/OS users. z/VSE users need to consolidate multiple archive files into a single file (in the order in which they were created) and use this file with the PRINT TRACE utility.
  • SYSTRACE
    Includes basic system trace information in the output.
  • EXTENDED
    Includes extended trace information in the output.
    If you specify SYSTRACE or EXTENDED, only the specified type of information is printed. If you do not specify either option, both types of information are printed.
  • TASKID
    Prints trace information for selected tasks.
    • taskid
      Specifies the taskid of a task whose trace information is to be printed.
      Default:
       Trace information associated with all tasks is printed.
      Limit:
       32 task identifiers.
  • START AT 
    date-time
    Prints only trace information recorded at or after the specified time.
    Default:
     Prints information from the beginning of the database area or archive file.
  • STOP AT 
    date-time
    Prints only trace information recorded at or before the specified date and time.
    Default:
     Prints information recorded in the database area or archive file (starting at the time specified in the START AT parameter, if any).
  • Expansion of date-time
    • date
      Specifies a date, in one of the following formats:
      • yyyy-mm-dd
      • mm/dd/yyyy 
      The date components are:
      • yyyy specified the year.
        Limit:
         0001-9999 (leading zeros are optional)
      • mm specifies the month within the year.
        Limit:
         01-12 (leading zeros are optional)
      • dd specifies the day within the month.
        Limit:
         01-31 (leading zeros are optional)
      The combined values of yyyy,mm, and dd must represent a valid date. For example, 1988-02-29 is a valid date but 1989-02-29 is not.
    • date-time
      Specifies a date and time in one of the following formats:
      • yyyy-mm-dd-hh.mm.ss.ffffff
      • yyyy-mm-dd-hh.mm.ss
      The date components are the same as those that can be specified for
      date
      . 
      The time components are:
      • hh specifies the hour on a 24-hour clock.
        Limit:
         00-23 (leading zeros are optional)
      • mm specifies the number of minutes past the hour.
        Limit:
         00-59 (leading zeros are optional)
      • ss specifies the number of seconds past the minute.
        Limit:
         00-59 (leading zeros are optional)
      • ffffff specifies the number of millionths of a second past the specified second.
        Limit:
         000000-999999 (trailing zeros are optional)
    • time
      Specifies a time in the following format:
      • hh:mm:ss
        The time components are the same as those that can be specified for date-time.
    • UTC
      Specifies that Start and Stop times are interpreted as UTC times instead of local times.
Usage
How to submit the PRINT TRACE statement
You submit a PRINT TRACE statement only through the batch command facility. You can run the batch command facility only in local mode.
When to use PRINT TRACE
Use the PRINT TRACE utility when the system trace is being written to the DDLDCTRC area or DDLDCLOG area, if no DDLDCTRC area is defined in the dictionary.
JCL Considerations
When you submit a PRINT TRACE statement through the batch command facility, the JCL to execute the facility must include statements to define the following:
  • The system trace area (DDLDCTRC) or system log area (DDLDCLOG) if you specify FROM DATABASE
  • The archive trace file whose contents you want to print if you specify FROM ARCHIVE
  • The system message area (DDLDCMSG)
  • The dummied journal file
Examples
Printing All Trace Entries
The following PRINT TRACE statement requests printing of all SYSTRACE and EXTENDED trace entries from the trace area.

PRINT TRACE FROM ARCHIVE
  DDNAME SYS001
  START AT '2016-03-02-21.12.00'
