Additional communications trace functions

The Check Communications Trace (CHKCMNTRC) command and Check Communications Trace (QSCCHKCT) API provide additional communications trace functions.

With the CHKCMNTRC command and the QSCCHKCT API, you can check the status of existing communications traces and programmatically check the storage space currently allocated for traces.

• Checking a communications trace
  You might want to find out if communications traces currently exist on your system. Use the Check Communications Trace (CHKCMNTRC) command to return the communications trace status for a specific line or network interface description, or for all of the traces of a specific type that exist on the system. The status is returned to you in a message.

• Programmatically checking storage space
  To programmatically check the maximum space allocated for traces and the sizes, in bytes, of all traces in active or stopped status on the system, use the Check Communication Trace (QSCCHKCT) API.
