Trace information

CICS® VR maintains an internal trace table to help you follow the order in which the CICS VR modules are invoked before an abend.

The trace is wraparound, with this end mark after the last trace entry:
   ****************
Each entry consists of these two 8-byte character strings:

A trace entry with reason PROLOG is added on entry to the module. An entry with reason EPILOG is added at exit from the module.

When the dump is online in machine-readable format, you find the trace table by scanning the dump and searching for one of these fields:

Alternatively, you find the address of the trace table, and its end mark, in the BIB block of CICS VR. You find the address of the trace table at offset X'440' in the BIB, and the address of the end-of-trace mark at offset X'448'.
