The trace output sequence has changed under Language Environment. In Language Environment, only one trace entry per record appears, instead of numerous trace entries per record as in OS/VS COBOL programs running under VS COBOL II. This change is especially helpful with intervening DISPLAY SYSOUT output and error messages.
OS/VS COBOL Running under VS COBOL II : Record 1 --> Section1(2), Paragraph1(2), Section2(2) Language Environment : Record 1 --> Section1 Record 2 --> Section1 Record 3 --> Paragraph1 Record 4 --> Paragraph1 Record 5 --> Section2 Record 6 --> Section2
