<h2>Syntax</h2>
<dl>
<dt> *tracelimit*</dt>
</dl>
<h2>Description</h2>
<p>The *tracelimit* system variable controls the number of forms printed on
entry to the <nobr><a href="../manual/xlisp-man-004.htm">break
loop</a></nobr>. If *tracelimit* is an integer, then the integer is the
maximum number of forms that will be printed. If *tracelimit* is <a
href="nil.htm">NIL</a> or a non-integer, then all of the forms
will be printed. Note that <a href="global-tracenable.htm">*tracenable*</a>
needs to be set to a non-<a href="nil.htm">NIL</a> value to
enable the printing of back-trace information on entry to the <nobr><a
href="../manual/xlisp-man-004.htm">break loop</a></nobr>.</p>
<h2>Examples</h2>
<pre class="example">
(defun foo (x) (fee x)) <font color="#008844">; define FOO</font>
(defun fee (y) (break)) <font color="#008844">; define FEE</font>
(setq *tracenable* T) <font color="#008844">; enable the back trace</font>
(setq *tracelimit* NIL) <font color="#008844">; show all the entries</font>
(foo 5) <font color="#008844">; break: **BREAK**</font>
<font color="#008844">; prints Function:#<Subr-BREAK...></font>

<p><b>Note:</b> <a href="global-tracenable.htm">*tracenable*</a> and
*tracelimit* system variables have to do with back trace information at
entry to a
<nobr><a href="../manual/xlisp-man-004.htm">break loop</a></nobr>
and are not related to the
<a href="trace.htm">trace</a> and
<a href="untrace.htm">untrace</a> functions.</p>
<p>See the
<a href="../manual/xlisp-man-011.htm#tracelimit">*tracelimit*</a>
system variable in the <nobr>XLISP 2.0</nobr> manual.</p>
