For processing IBM product GTF traces you use a command like
GTF USR(ALL) to process "user" records.

Each product has a format number, MQ has D9.
When a record is processed, the GTF processing in IPCS looks up this format
number xx, and then invokes a routine AMDUSRxx (or AMDUSRD9  for MQ).
This program takes the record and formats it.
You could write your own formatter.  The basic record structure is well
documented, but the products specific stuff may not be documented.

These programs typically write to IPCSPRTN, but could write to any other dd
statement.,

I used to have my own program that did special processing of the data.
This wrote to more than one output dataset.

MVS (Non USR) records have special formatting such as options SSCH, SVC etc.
