Not sure many people will be familar with this corner of ProIV but I see from a search that Rob at least was using this a decade or so ago..

I'm planning to put some switchable/escalatable ProIV tracing in place for some batch processes and was just doing some testing to try and figure out what all the various TRACE* environment settings actually do. (For me, this is all Unix/Linux, BTW)

I found a few interesting things and I'll try and post something here later when I'm more sure what's actually useful. But for now I had a question about something that I don't see it doing..

Regardless of what setting I try for the TRACELGC option (or indeed any other options), I can't get any trace indicating all the logic IDs that are executed. All that TRACELGC seems to do is trace a small number of fairly rare operations in logic (specifically SYSF calls and operations on bitflags like ENABLE and DISABLE). When it does that, it shows the logic id or global logic name very nicely but that seems be the only time it shows that information.

Just wanted to confirm this was other people's experience too. Has anyone ever found a straightforward way to trace all the logics that execute?

I have a cunning plan to fall back on but it involves a bunch of extra work (for someone..) so I want to be sure I'm not missing something stupid here.
