Re: How to trace program calls?

[Vern Hamberg <vhamberg@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

You could pull out the big hammer = STRJOBTRC - take a look at its help 
text. It uses the TRCJOB command. Take a look at that help text, too. 
You can see the call trace in the output of these. There are also 
ENDJOBTRC and PRTJOBTRC - the former saves the trace records into a DB 
file. The latter gives you printed output.
