Viewing the contents of a communications trace

To view the contents of a communications trace, follow these steps.

1. At the command line, specify WRKSPLF.

2. On the Work with Spooled File dialog, press F11 (View 2) to view the date and time of the spooled file with which you want to work. If More... appears on the display and you need to continue searching for the spooled file, page forward or backward through the list of files; otherwise, continue with the next step.

3. Specify 5 in the Opt column next to the spooled file you want to display. The last files contain the most recent communications traces.

4. Verify that this is a communications trace for the line traced and that the times that the trace started and ended are correct.
