Reduce clutter in IPCS formatting of GTFTRACE output in batch

We use IPCS to format GTF traces from CICS but the IPCS GTFTRACE output includes extra lines that we don't want to see. To solve this, we first send the IPCS formatted GTF trace to a temporary dataset, then use a REXX to clean off the unwanted lines. This doubles the about of time it takes to print a CICS trace, and I think most shops won't go through this trouble and just avoid using GTF trace formatting in batch. I believe this is a road block to shops using GTF trace instead of Auxtrace for CICS related traces.

I would like an option on the IPCS GTFTRACE subcommand to allow us to exclude the USREF, TIME, and HEADER lines that clutter up the GTF trace display.

    This item is unlikely to be given high enough priority to be placed into the product plan.

    Michael,
    NOHEAD results can be accomplished using the existing PAGESIZE option in IPCS PROFILE. For example, with IPCS PROFILE PAGESIZE(10000) specified, IPCS will generate a page header only once per 10000 lines.
