GOAL:
What is a protrace file?
FACT(s) (Environment):
All Supported Operating Systems
FIX:
A protrace files (also called stack trace) is a report generated to aid in debugging by showing where exactly an error occurs. The last few stack frames often indicate the origin of the problem or the bug. A protrace file is generated from a core file. A core file is generated by an error in a Progress executable. A protrace file is a stack trace from a Progress session that had a serious error. The protrace file is created from a core file being 'unwound' by an operating system utility.
