Call Trace View

The Call Trace view displays the logical flow of the available program listings.

This view lets you recall previous programs listed in the call trace during a debug session if symbolic information is available. The entries in this view are listed in chronological order, the first entry indicates the program that received control from CICS and the last entry indicates the active program listing in the Program Listing area.

Note: The call trace function is not available for batch debugging sessions.
