Usage

The DIAGNOSE statement should be used only for PRL program execution analysis.

The following example shows the use of DIAGNOSE to analyze a previously executed PRL program. DIAGNOSE is added before the END statement.

SET TITLE = 'MVCICS COMMON SYSTEM AREA (CSA) ANALYSIS'
SELECT TYPE 11 RECORDS FROM CMRSTATS

  USING CMRDATE CMRTIME CSATSKCT CSAGTMAN CSAFRMAN -
        CSADUMPS CSASOSCT
  ORDER BY CSATSKCT

REPORT

* variable pool elements showing variable attributes.           *
