TRACE Options
Updated January 2024; see History
These are equivalent to the identically-named TRACE options in miame.ini. Since they are primarily used only for debugging, it is a handy convenience to be able to turn them on temporarily for a single job or program execution without having to modify miame.ini and re-launch the session. These variables accept only ON or OFF settings.
See the table in the TRACE system parameter topic for a full listing of all options.
Comments
| • | Depending on the operating system you are running, some of the options may not appear. For example, signals are only available under Unix. |
| • | In most cases the output of the traces go to the ashlog.log file, which is in the same directory as miame.ini, unless specified elsewhere with the LOGDIR property in miame.ini. |
| • | Any attempt to set any other parameter, even if it is a valid parameter under AMOS, will result in the same error message ("?Invalid function"). |
| • | With ATE or A-Shell/Windows most log messages can also be captured/displayed in the System Message Window. Use Ctrl+Shift+Double-Click somewhere on the A-Shell window, then right click on the System Message Window), select Properties, and check the Show System Traces option along with any desired trace options. |
| • | Beginning with A-Shell 7.0.1754 of January 2024, NOTRACE is available for turning off tracing for specified subroutines. |
