<h2>Syntax</h2>

<dl>
<dt>&nbsp;*tracenable*</dt>
</dl>

<h2>Description</h2>

<p>The *tracenable* system variable controls whether or not the
<nobr><a href="../manual/xlisp-man-004.htm">break loop</a></nobr>
prints any back trace information on entry to the
<nobr><a href="../manual/xlisp-man-004.htm">break loop</a></nobr>. If
*tracenable* is <nobr><a href="nil.htm">NIL</a> ,</nobr> then
there will be no information printed on entry to the
<nobr><a href="../manual/xlisp-man-004.htm">break loop</a>.</nobr>
If *tracenable* is <nobr>non-<a href="nil.htm">NIL</a> ,</nobr>
then information will be printed. The 'init.lsp' initialization file sets
*tracenable* usually to <nobr><a href="nil.htm">NIL</a> ,</nobr>
which suppresses the printing.</p>

<h2>Examples</h2>

(defun foo (x) (fee x))   <font color="#008844">; define FOO</font>
(defun fee (y) (break))   <font color="#008844">; define FEE</font>

<p><b>Note:</b> *tracenable* and
<a href="global-tracelimit.htm">*tracelimit*</a> 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#tracenable">*tracenable*</a>
system variable in the <nobr>XLISP 2.0</nobr> manual.</p>
