RE: what lines of code in program are executed.

Hopping on the way back machine here...

If you can modify the program in question a tiny bit, you can achieve what you want. Below is an option.

When the program is started execute a function or subroutine that

1. Starts tracing the job. You can call a CL program to run the trace commands if you want. API's QCMDEXC and QCAPCMD can also be used.

2. Sends a scope message. You can use the Send Scope Message (QMHSNDSM) API to do this.
Scope type would be *PGM so the trace can be ended and the trace information gathered.

The scope message handling program does...

1. Ends the trace.
2. Gathers the trace information for you.

Taking a step further...

You can have some mechanism telling the program to do the trace or not.

Hope this helps.

i have a huge program that i would like some kind of trace report
showing what lines of code are executed. Its an RPGLE program.

Many users use this program during the day. If i counld dump all the
trace information into a file that would be great.

Any suggestions?

PS. This program does call other programs/services programs, but i am
only interested in the one programs lines executed.
