Ending Interactive Debug

About this task

You can end interactive debug in one of the following ways:
  • Use the TRACE OFF instruction as input. The TRACE OFF instruction ends tracing, as stated in the message at the beginning of interactive debug:
     +++ Interactive trace. TRACE OFF to end debug, ENTER to continue. +++
  • Use the TRACE ? instruction as input

    The question mark prefix before a TRACE option can end interactive debug as well as beginning it. The question mark reverses the previous setting (on or off) for interactive debug. Thus you can use TRACE ?R within a program to start interactive debug, and provide input of another TRACE instruction with ? before the option to end interactive debug but continue tracing with the specified option.

  • Use TRACE with no options as input. If you specify TRACE with no options in the input stream, this turns off interactive debug but continues tracing with TRACE Normal in effect. (TRACE Normal traces only failing commands after execution.)
  • Let the program run until it ends. Interactive debug automatically ends when the program that started tracing ends. You can end the program prematurely using as input an EXIT instruction. The EXIT instruction ends both the program and interactive debug.
