This function enables tracing: Function: IO$_LD_CONTROL P1 = number of trace buffer packets to allocate P6 = Subfunction: LDIO$K_ENABLE_TRACE IOSB word 0 = status To reset the tracebuffer the additional subfunctionmodifier LDIO$M_RESET can be specified. No new tracebuffer will be allocated when that is done. Requests for FDT tracing need to add the subfunctionmodifier LDIO$M_FDTTRACE. Requests for accurate timing tracing need to add the subfunctionmodifier LDIO$M_ACCURATE. Specifying LDIO$M_TRACE_ALL will enable tracing of requests going to the container file as well (tapes only). Errors returned: SS$_ACCVIO Parameter cannot be read SS$_BADPARAM Zero buffer size specified SS$_EXBYTLM Exceeded BYTLM quota for the process SS$_INSFMEM Not enough memory to allocate trace buffer SS$_TOOMUCHDATA Trace is already active SS$_NORMAL Successful completion
