**SYSTEM**{**PROP:TraceFile**} = INIFilename

A **SYSTEM **property that specifies the INI file that file drivers will read to get driver tracing settings from. The drivers will look in the **[CW<;drivername>]** section for specific settings.

If **PROP:TraceKey** and **PROP:TraceFile** are both set, **PROP:TraceFile** is ignored. If neither **PROP:TraceKey** or **PROP:TraceFile** are specified, then //DRIVERS.INI// is used.

These properties must be set **//before //**any file I/O calls are done.
