    END                                                                  

 - issue console command:                                                

    @SET TRACE( JOBNAME(IPVSRV)

                RACROUTE(TYPE(1,2,5,6,9))

                CALLABLE(TYPE(38))

               ) LIST

    @SET TRACE( NOJOBNAME NORACROUTE NOCALLABLE )  LIST

Resolution

The GTF IBM trace does not need to be translated.  The commands are console commands and can be run regardless of which security product is used.  Many applications have their own traces.  For example CICS has console command traces for different problems within CICS.
