User-defined tracepoints are activated when you set them with the SET TRACE command. Predefined tracepoints are activated by default. Use the DEACTIVATE TRACE command to deactivate one or more tracepoints. If you deactivate a tracepoint, the debugger ignores the tracepoint during program execution. To activate a deactivated tracepoint, use the ACTIVATE TRACE command. You can activate and deactivate user-defined and predefined tracepoints separately. Activating and deactivating tracepoints enables you to run and rerun your program with or without tracepoints without having to cancel and then reset them. By default, the RERUN command saves the current state of all tracepoints (activated or deactivated). To check if a tracepoint is deactivated, use the SHOW TRACE command.
