Look into adding SQL trace commands to your fexes.

-SET &ECHO = ALL; lets you see the messages/output of running your fexes in browser below the output. Sometimes you have to view source to see it.


8.2.02M (production), 8.2.02M (test), Windows 10, all outputs.

These are the command I use for SQL tracing:

-*** Set up SQL tracing

-*** Deactivate SQL tracing
SET TRACEOFF = ALL

-*** Show Commands and data exchange between the physical and
-*** the logical layers of the data adapter
-*SET TRACEON = SQLCALL

-*** Enable Trace for the SQL Translator
SET TRACEON = SQLTRANS

-*** Show SQL statements
SET TRACEON = STMTRACE//CLIENT

-*** Show Optimization information
SET TRACEON = SQLAGGR//CLIENT

-*** Show SQL generated statement trace
-*SET TRACEON = STMTRACE/1/CLIENT

-*** Show SQL generated sub-statement trace
-*SET TRACEON = STMTRACE/2/CLIENT

-*** Disable the trace stamp (Date/Time etc)
SET TRACESTAMP = OFF

-*** Set trace line wrapping - # of characters
SET TRACEWRAP = 78

-*** Set trace to output file
-*SET TRACEUSER=C:\ibi\apps\baseapp\sql_trace.txt

-*** Activate SQL tracing
SET TRACEUSER = ON

-RUN


Uncomment -*SET TRACEUSER=C:\ibi\apps\baseapp\sql_trace.txt to put the SQL trace in a file. You can name the file whatever you want, including adding the userid, date/time in the file name to make it unique to each execution.
