Control statements for histogram reports
Control statements identify the CICS resources and associated performance statistics that appear in histogram reports.
A control statement set is a group of control statement keywords and parameters that specify one histogram report. A set can contain valid keywords in any sequence, but each keyword can be specified only once in each set.
A histogram control statement set is structured as follows:
Structure | Description |
|---|---|
keyword=value | (optional) sets up date and time ranges, titles, graph scales, and so on for this report Defaults are used if these keywords are not specified. |
class | (one required) specifies the CICS resource appearing in the histogram |
data=type | (one required) specifies the type of data appearing in the histogram |
END | (required) ends this report request |
Control statements follow these rules:
- Each control statement must begin in column 1.
- If a control statement keyword appears more than once in a set, only its last specification is used.
- If a control statement keyword is not specified in a set, its default is used.
- Multiple control statement sets can be specified in a single execution of the CMRCHRT program to produce multiple histograms. However, separate jobs must be submitted to produce multiple histograms if report data is on tape. For more information, see Archiving-data-CMRPURG.
- Comments can be added to control statements by leaving at least one blank after the statement and then starting the comment.
- Any statement with an asterisk (*) in column 1 is considered to be a comment and is ignored.
