=_ESCORT_STATEMENT_DATA

If a record is inserted into an audited entry-sequenced file and subsequently backed
out because a transaction is aborted, a zero length record is left in the file where the
record had been inserted. This does occur if the file is not audited and can cause
problems for programs that are not expecting to encounter such records.

Specifying this define precludes the program from reading unexpected null records.

Although automatic transactions are never aborted by NonStop AutoTMF software,
unilateral aborts could leave such gaps in an entry-sequenced file.

Specifying this define overrides the value of the global parameter
ATMFSKIPNULLRECS.

trace is detailed and can include key fields and entire records if so configured. In
addition, the trace contains much of the process startup information, such as
