Description
The SET PROFILE command controls Recital's profiling functionality. Profiling produces input/output, locking and procedure call statistics for a particular application or part of an application. This information can be used for analysis to enable application optimization and general performance tuning. The profiling information can be output to the screen, a file or a printer using the LIST PROFILE and DISPLAY PROFILE commands.

SET PROFILE TO <command>, <id> [, <description>] is used to start, stop or update the profiling statistics.
