REC_BUFF

Description

Record data untranslated from the terminal emulation buffer to disk.

The buffers are written to the file Buffer.trc in the log/trace directory. If the file does not yet exist, it is created. If the file does exist, the new buffers are appended to it.

The buffer is only written to disk when a carriage return (CR) is sent to the mainframe. Buffers are recorded until you issue the REC_BUFF command again.

The default key combination depends on the type of session and the corresponding default key scheme.

Type of Session / Default Key Scheme Default Key Combination
TN3270 / SAGKEYS1 CTRL+B
BS2000 / BS2000KEYS CTRL+B
VTxxx / VT220PC ALT+B

Important:
This command is provided for Entire Connection problem resolution and should only be used with the assistance and direction of your technical support.

During terminal emulation, the character B is shown in column 75 of the status line when REC_BUFF is active.
