PARM options for PRSTRN10, PRSTRNFP, and PRSTRND2


The PRSTRN10, PRSTRNFP, and PRSTRND2 PARM options can be used to define:

  • Time period selection
  • System ID selection
  • Sort size for the internal sort
  • Response option
  • Time interval

Syntax

The syntax of the PARM option statement is:

PARM='ldate,ltime,hdate,htime,sysID,size,R,time'

Rules

All of the options:

  • Are optional
  • Apply to all requested reports
  • Can be used only once in a PARM statement
  • Are defined in the EXEC statement

    For PRSTRN10, you can use control statements in TRNSELEC instead of or in addition to the PARM options (see Additional-PRSTRN10-report-control-statements).

Descriptions

The following table describes the PARM options:

PARM positions

Description

01-21

Indicates the range of time to be selected for this reporting process

ldate,ltime,hdate,htime

  • ldate

    Low Julian date in yyddd format

  • ltime

    Low hour and minute in hhmm format

  • hdate

    High Julian date in yyddd format

  • htime

    High hour and minute in hhmm format

The range is specified as the lowest Julian date and time to the highest Julian date and time. A value of 00000,0000,00000,0000 specifies that the time period selection is not to be invoked and all ranges will be included in the report.

22-23

Indicates the computing system to be reported

,sysID | *

  • sysID

    System ID to be selected

  • *

    System ID selection is not to be invoked

24-30

Indicates the amount of storage for the internal sorting process

,size | 350000

Valid values are from 018000 bytes up to the maximum available main storage. The default size is 350000 (350,000 bytes).

31-32

Indicates whether to report alternate input queue and response times (R RESPONSE field of the transaction accounting record)

,R

If the input IRUF was not created with the response option in effect, the response option for the report cannot be specified.

If this parameter is not specified, the arrival time of the originating transaction is used.

Insert a blank in the EXEC statement if you do not want to use the option, but you want to use the time interval option.

33-37

Indicates the length of time for the PRSTRN10 report interval (valid only for the PRSTRN10 report)

,time

  • hh

    Hour (00-23)

  • mm

    Minute (00-59)

Each report has break points for the specified time period so that the displayed transaction counts and averages will be calculated for the specified interval periods of time. For example, specifying INTERVAL 0100 produces a separate report for each hour of time. No lines of output are produced for an interval in which no transaction ended. The report interval start and end times is displayed in the report heading.

Example

The following example requests a transaction usage analysis on day 13.076 from 8:00 A.M. to 4:00 P.M. All system IDs (*) are to be selected. The storage size for the internal sort is 50,000 bytes. The alternate input queue and response times are used (R). No report interval is specified.

PARM='13076,0800,13076,1600,*,050000,R'
