D2ETRACE being created even with the D2E_TRACE=ALL parameter disabled

Issue/Introduction

The Java Transformer started task is generating thousands of messages in the D2ETRACE DD even with the D2E_TRACE parameter commented out in the STDENV file:

#D2E_TRACE=ALL 

Environment

Release : Output Management Spool for z/OS 14.0

Resolution

The trace was being created by the option V in the TRANSFRM keyword.

"V - Adds trace entries related to the AFP to PCL Soft Font processing to the D2ETRACE sysout file. V can be used without specifying any D2E_TRACE environment variable."

Removing this option solved this problem.
