1. To view all the data associated with the trace, press the Enter key without changing to the defaults on
the Format a Trace Data display . The information is not in any special format.
2. Select the option to format and print only the data that you want to see.
3. All options available for formatting depend on the protocol of the line that is being traced. Only valid
choices are shown for each protocol.
4. Not all combinations of options are valid for all protocols. If you select an option that is not valid,
messages appear. If an error message appears, you must change your selections. Press F5 (Refresh)
function key to restore all options to their default values.
5. For more information about these options, use online help.
When the format of the trace data is complete, the output can be printed on the console printer (the
printer that is attached to the same I/O processor as the console). Only SCS-type data streams are
supported.
The format of the trace data follows:
v An introduction page that contains, for example, configuration object, type, protocol, start and stop
dates and times, trace options, and formatting options.
v A help page, to assist in understanding the output. Help information for a specific protocol is given
because the trace data differs for each communications protocol.
The formatted output is shown as follows.

Figure 7. Example of formatted trace data output for SDLC
The width of the file is 132 characters. The data is in hexadecimal representation and either American
National Standard Code for Information Interchange (ASCII) or EBCDIC character representation. The
columns of the trace output that are common to all protocols follows:
Record number
The number of the trace record shows if the record type is sent (S) or received (R).
Notes:
1. The letter C in this column indicates that an X.21 short-hold mode connection was cleared.
2. If an M is shown, a modem change occurred.
Data length
The amount of data, in decimal, that the record contains.
Record status
The protocol-dependent return code for the trace record. The value 00000000 is successful; no
errors were found. Other return codes are listed in the functional specification for the protocol
that is running or in the port manager.
