Function OdbcTraceFile() Professional

Retrieves or sets the file name of the ODBC trace mode

Syntax
OdbcTraceFile([<cFileName>]) --> cTraceFileName
Parameters
<cFileName>
This parameter sets the name of the file of the next trace. If the parameter is not passed, the current file name is returned only.
Return

The function returns the current trace file name.

Description

The ODBC driver manager provides a trace mechanism where every call to itself is recorded, including parameters and return states. This can be very helpful for troubleshooting and for enhancements to the ODBCDBE as well. After setting the output file name, a call to OdbcTraceMode(.T.) will enable the trace. As rule of thumb, the previously used file name should be restored after the trace mode was turned off.
