TS

Starts an interactive trace of all currently executing ARexx programs. The
tracing mode is the same as that set when the instruction {  TRACE ?R  }
is entered in a program.

If the trace console has been opened with the  TCO  command, the output of
the trace(s) will be diverted to that window.

This command is one way to gain control of a program which is performing
in an unexpected way -- one caught in an endless loop, for instance. The
usual  TRACE options  may be entered, to change variables, or even to halt
just one of several programs by entering Control-C at a pause point of the
program to be halted. Other programs will continue.

The instruction TRACE OFF entered at any pause point will stop the trace
for the program traced at that point. The function CALL TRACE OFF should
be used within the program code if interactive tracing is to be turned
off. The command utility  TE  will remove the tracing flag set by TS.
