+FREQ


The +FREQ parameter specifies which frequency column values to collect. This parameter is only used by BMC AMI Stats.

You can set +FREQ in the BMC AMI Utilities configuration to specify the default value for your installation. The BMC configured default value is MOST. You can override +FREQ by specifying FREQ in the SYSIN DD statement. 

Important

For more information about how this default affects the frequency distribution collection and how to make NGTSTATS defaults match IBM RUNSTATS, see Overview of BMC AMI Stats.


Tip

You can use FREQVAL in the syntax to override a +FREQ value specified in the BMC AMI Utilities configuration or in the STTPARMS DD:

KEYCARD FREQVAL NUMCOLS numberColumns COUNT numberValues MOST
