al An Arraylist object.
itemFunction The method that is to be applied to al items to produce the trace output. The method must take no parameters and produce an intrinsic (Float, String, Fixed or Unicode) value. It may be a system or user-written method, a class variable or property, a local method, or a method variable.

The default value of itemFunction is ToString.

NumWidth The number of bytes in the display of each item to use for the item number. This is an optional, name required, parameter; if you specify a value, the parameter name, NumWidth, is required.

Item numbers are right-justified within the indicated number of bytes, and they are truncated on the left if the length of the item number exceeds the space allocated for it. The NumWidth value must be a number between -1 and 10 inclusive. If you specify a value of 0, the item number is not displayed.

If NumWidth is -1, the default, the method uses the minimum number of bytes required to show the item number. For example, one byte is required for item number 5, while five bytes are required for item number 98764.

Separator A string, 15 characters or less, to be used to separate the item number from the item value. This is an optional, name required, argument; if you specify a value, the parameter name, Separator, is required.

The default value for Separator is a colon (:). A blank always follows the Separator string.

Start The item number of the initial item in the output display. This is an optional, name required, argument; if you specify a value, the parameter name, Start, is required.

The default value for Start is 1, which begins the output display with the first item in al.

MaxItems The maximum number of items to display. A zero or negative value means to display all the items. This is an optional, name required, argument; if you specify a value, the parameter name, MaxItems, is required.

The default value for MaxItems is 0, which displays all items from the Start item to the end of al.

Label A literal string that gets output before each line. This is useful for "tagging" lines to make them more identifiable. This is an optional, name required, argument; if you specify a value, the parameter name, Label, is required.

The default value for Label is a null string, which displays no additional "tag" information.
