5.58 OSTAILOR (Tailor trace information for specific operating
system)

5.58.1 Function

OSTAILOR lets you specify the intended operating system. The effect of this parameter is to reduce con-
trol panel message traffic by selectively suppressing trace messages for program checks which are con-
sidered normal in the specified environment.

The argument QUIET suppresses all exception messages whereas the argument NULL suppresses none
of them. The other options do suppress some messages and do not suppress other messages depending
on the specified operating system.

Prefix values with a plus (“+”) to combine them with existing values or with a minus (“-“) to exclude them
from existing values. To combine values the OSTAILOR statement has to be coded several times. Exclu-
ding values (although possible) does not make sense in the configuration file.

See also the PGMTRACE console command which also to further fine tune the tracing of program inter-
rupt exceptions.
