3921.0. "*WISH* tracing of ALL-IN-1 batch scripts" by PEARS::KRAMER (Fritz Kramer @UFC, Munich, 865-1305) Fri Feb 25 1994 09:37

    Hi,
    
    debugging/tracing a script submitted to a script-symbion queue is
    a bit cumbersome as you have to specify the TRACE param with the
    SUBMIT_SCRIPT function.
    
    This is (almost) no problem when writing my own scripts but is a
    problem with standard ALL-IN-1 scripts.
    
    If I didn't miss something there are two ways to debug a standard 
    ALL-IN-1 script submitted to the script queue.
    
    1. Edit the script/named data and add the TRACE param to the
       SUBMIT_SCRIPT function
    
       or 
    
    2. Stop the script-queue.
       Submit the script as usual
       Modify the /SETUP qualifier of the script-job
       e.g. $ SET ENTRY /SETUP=("""KRAMER""",SYS$LOGIN) 123
       Restart the script-queue
    
    To circumvent this I would like to have an easy way to globally turn on
    tracing for batch scripts
    
    e.g.  by defining a TRACE-logical or 
          if tracing is turned on before SUBMIT_SCRIPT
