356.0. "FORMS$TRACE" by SOOTY::CHAMBERS (I'll go mad and have the Beef) Wed Jun 20 1990 11:35

Why the hell does somebody keep defining forms$trace as true at the system 
logical level. Kindly keep it as a process logical so it does not affect the
rest of us!

356.1ASSIGN FALSE FORMS$TRACECURRNT::DAVIESClose, but no banana.Wed Jun 20 1990 13:1320
    Mark,
    
    I know that you know why this is happening but, for the benefit
    of everyone else...
    
    One of the groups that are developing, using ACMS, currently need
    to have FORMS$TRACE set TRUE. Unfortunately for ACMS this HAS to
    be set at SYSTEM level. (Don't ask me to explain fully here, please!)
    (Symptoms of this problem will be big increases in your disk usage
    and one or more 'formname.TRACE' files lying around)

    Individuals can, I understand, get around the problem by setting
    
    		ASSIGN FALSE FORMS$TRACE
    
    for their processes.
    
    Hope this helps (If this doesn't appear to work let me know)
    
    Keith.
