        begin tracing. You can specify statement ranges and program
        variables to track.
 2. *Run the program:*Let the program run for a short period to collect
    the trace data.
 3. *Stop the trace:*EnterRMVTRC
    <https://www.google.com/search?q=RMVTRC&oq=when+to+use+addtrc&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUyBggAEEUYOTIGCAEQLhhA0gEIMzgzNWowajSoAgCwAgE&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&mstk=AUtExfDLRwl0gL6AFtZNlOtdzoyqppbWGFv3xkYJrTaaWK1n4xjvsON4ZDSFREVmEevZSI3yEZlIaH7ddCa2kaxRP-IZyP-on_mEdHa8kByeFKYDrPG7XfI1m8KKoT3y8Mg5Tgb4sJ41SMHrcv1ywIlbGyxVThIWA0cNcolJlxnGFJ15PhSpGJEUVCNjSTRFQrPJCvq7MGxy7m2QkQiaB--Ss1JdYR6ZLi3-ft_QCzR5zls1Vu4wWnE4KqESOvQ8UW9bL9r_wQcWNoR1Q_Ni-gDrCEtM&csui=3&ved=2ahUKEwiPor3ltPeQAxXoweYEHbQwD04QgK4QegQIBhAH>to
    stop the trace from being collected.
 4. *View the data:*EnterDSPTRCDTA

    display the trace data and analyze the results.
 5. *End debugging:*Finally, useENDDBG
