Table 43 Fields of the Message Statistics Screen

Field

Description

The following general information is displayed:

Date and Time fields

Date and time from which the current statistics accumulation began. This is the top line of the screen.

SMFID

SMF ID of the computer for which the statistics are accumulated (under the SCROLL===> field).

The following information is shown for each displayed message or command:

OPTION

Allows entry of line options next to a message or command.

ID

  • For messages, the message code
  • For commands, the command text, such as S for S OPER1

Note: Message or command IDs may have been redefined through a DO SET %%$STATID statement in the rule definition.

TYP

Indicates whether the current line describes a message or a command. Valid values are:

  • M — message
  • C — command

Note: When an operator command is issued, MVS internally issues a message with the command text. This message is intercepted by Control-O and written to the Statistics file. Therefore, operator commands appear twice in the Statistics screen, the first time with type C, and the second time with type M.

COUNT

Number of times the message or command has been intercepted by Control-O (from the start of accumulation). The format of this field is discussed in "COUNT Field, HANDLED Field and SUPPRESSED Field Formats" immediately below this table.

HANDLED

Number of message or command occurrences for which at least one rule has been triggered by Control-O. The format of this field is discussed in "COUNT Field, HANDLED Field and SUPPRESSED Field Formats" immediately below this table.

SUPPRESSED

Number of message or command occurrences which have been suppressed by Control-O. The format of this field is discussed in "COUNT Field, HANDLED Field and SUPPRESSED Field Formats" immediately below this table.

TEXT

Text of the first occurrence of the message or command after the creation of the Statistics file.

When the text length exceeds the text field length, the RIGHT command (PF11/PF23) can be used to shift more text into view, or the WRAP command can be used to "wrap" (continue) the text display in the following lines.

For messages or commands which have been locally reset (by the RESET option, the REDATE command can be used to alternate between display of the message text and display of the reset date and time. The RESET command is discussed in CANCEL and RESET Commands.

The following summary information is shown for all displayed messages and commands:

MSG

Total number of message occurrences (sum of the COUNT fields for all displayed messages).

CMD
