The "Component Trace Options" display is produced by pressing PF4 on the main CETR display. You get the following display, with the values of your own system in each of the fields.

PF7 and PF8 can be used to scroll backward and forward through the list of components. PF9 gives the error message list.
The trace levels for a particular component are represented by two values. One gives the active level of tracing for standard tracing; the other gives the level for special tracing. From the list of components, you can set the active level of tracing for standard and/or special tracing for each individual component. See the CICS® Problem Determination Guide for an explanation of standard and special tracing, and of tracing levels.
The values are in the range 1 through 32 for most components. In practice, you will normally want to use an active level of ‘1’ for any component, and you do this by overtyping (if necessary) the displayed value under the relevant heading for the required component.
In certain circumstances, if you have referred a problem to the IBM System Support Center staff, they may ask you to get a level ‘2’ trace. You will need to specify both level 1 and 2 to get all of the trace points that are needed.
You can specify a range of tracing levels--normally levels ‘1’ and ‘2’. You do this by overtyping the displayed value with ‘1-2’ or ‘1,2’.
Alternatively, you can type ‘ALL’ in upper or lower case under the relevant heading. Similarly, you can type ‘OFF’ to turn off the tracing for a particular component under either the ‘special’ or ‘standard’ heading.
The equal sign "=" can be used, when changing several fields, to indicate that a particular field should be changed to the same value as the one above.
