When the PERUSE Output panel appears, the first record in the data set is displayed as the current record. A header area is displayed at the top of the PERUSE Output panel for CMF records and for all SMF records.

  • For SMF type 70 through 79 records, the header line contains the SMF record number and title, as well as all fields described in the following table.
  • For CMF and RMF records, the header line contains the record title but not the record number. These records also contain the fields described in the following table.
  • For SMF record types other than 70 through 79, the header area contains the record number and title only; it does not contain any other header fields.

The lower portion of the PERUSE Output panel contains the snap dump image area. The header fields and the snap dump image area are discussed in the following table.

You can scroll through the snap dump image area by using the PF keys, or you can enter one of the values shown in Acceptable values for the COMMAND line on the COMMAND line to display a specific record type.

Important

CMF record type formats are distributed in Assembler, SAS, and C formats in the BBSAMP data set. For more information, see Generating-and-managing-batch-reports.

Field descriptions for the PERUSE Output panel

The fields displayed in the PERUSE Output panel are described in the following table.

Field name

Description

DSN

data set name

CAPS

whether CAPS are on or off

SYSTEM

name of system on which the Extractor that produced this record ran

MVS

level of MVS operating system on which the Extractor ran

MONITOR

monitoring mode (CPM, IPM, or RMF)

FORMAT

format of the current record

RECORD

SMF record type and subtype

SAMPLES

count of samples taken in the interval

CYCLE

sampling rate in milliseconds

DURATION

length of interval - mm:ss.ttt

RELEASE

corresponding recording product release level for RMF

SRL

SRL value displayed in both decimal and hexadecimal

DATE

Julian date when interval started

START

time of day when interval started - hh:mm:ss

PRODUCT

hexadecimal offset to product section

Triplets

total number of triplets in the record

Although the panel displays up to 15 triplets, not counting the product triplet, there can be more triplets in the record. You can use this number to verify whether all triplets are displayed on the panel.

2nd through 16th

The contents of the nth triplet of the record in the format offset,length,number, defined as follows:

  • offset is the offset into record to the first section belonging to this triplet
  • length is the length of the sections represented by this triplet
  • number is the number of sections represented by this triplet, in the following format:

SNAP Dump Image Area


Offset

RECD—offset from the beginning of the record

TRIP—offset from the referring triplet

SECT—offset into the current section

Hexadecimal Values

hexadecimal dump of the record; each line displays 16 bytes of data

EBCDIC

character representation of each line of data, enclosed within asterisks (*)

Using PERUSE commands

The values shown in the following table can be entered on the COMMAND line.

Value

Description

F

Find the specified character string in the displayed record. The specified string can be EBCDIC, hexadecimal, or a triplet.

EBCDIC--F 's' where s is an EBCDIC string

Hexadecimal —F X 'h' where h is a hexadecimal value

Triplet --F t [n] where t is a triplet and n is the nth section of the area pointed to by triplet t. If n is not specified, the first section is displayed.

Important

The F command is valid only if you specify NEW in the DISPLAY FORMAT field of the PERUSE menu. If you use the F command without an operand, the last F command issued for this record type is repeated. In the case of a triplet, the F command shows the next section of the triplet.

G xx

Get next record of type xx. To select a specific record type for display or to change the current type, enter this value, where xx is the type.

For example, G70 displays the next type 70 (SMF CPU) record. Type 70 then becomes the current record type.

GF xx

Get first record of type xx A GF xx command starts the search at the beginning of the data set.

For example, GF240 displays the first type 240 record and sets the current type to 240.

G

Get next record of type last specified. After a record type is established, you need to enter only G to display the next record of the current type. This command displays the next record, which then becomes the current record.

GF

Get first record of type last specified. A GF command starts the search at the beginning of the data set.

G00

Get next record, regardless of type.

Enter G00 to display the next record, regardless of type, and nullify the current record type.

GF00

Get first record, regardless of type. GF00 displays the first record in the data set and sets the current record type to null.

P

Generate and print a SNAP dump of the record currently displayed.

C

Continue the record search. This value is valid only after the following message appears:

xxx RECORDS SEARCHED

If the value in the SEARCH LIMIT field is reached before the desired record type is found, searching stops and this message appears. When you see this message, type C to continue your search.

Important

The default value for the SEARCH LIMIT field on the Peruse and Print CMF/SMF/RMF Records panel is 500 records. You can increase the value of this field to avoid reaching the search limit before your search is complete.


Important

A blank space after any of the G commands terminates the command; for example: G73xx is the same as G73.

Displaying a record subtype

To display a record subtypecoming

  1. Enter the record type.
  2. Enter a - (hyphen) or , (comma).
  3. Enter the subtype.For example, G78-2 or G78,2 causes the Virtual Storage record type to display; if G240-1 is specified, the CMF CPU record type is displayed.


 

Tip: For faster searching, add an asterisk to the end of your partial query. Example: cert*
