While the Windows environment has GUI tracing tools, it also has a character mode (command window) test tool, RDAAPP like other platforms. RDAAPP supports a command line switch of "-traceon" that will activate and write traces. The same instructions for RDAAPP tracing within the UNIX, OpenVMS, OS/390, z/OS and OS/400 environments may be followed for Windows.
The GUI Test Tool and rdaapp are pre-written applications that are supported only for test purposes. Generally, a site might purchase a third party written application, iWay application, or write their own. For customer s writing their own applications, they may want to custom write tracing for some purpose. In this case, the EDACALLBACK method is more appropriate to use. EDACALLBACK is documented in EDACALLBACK (5-15/17) and has a working implementation in C with the EDAAPP.C sample application supplied with the product.
