IAM601 Message

The IAM601 message presents a summary of the input SMF data. This includes the number of records read from the input SMF file, the number of records used, and the number of records dropped. Used records indicate the number of Step termination records (type 30 subtype 4 or type 4) and the number of data set records (IAM records, VSAM type 64 records) that met the selection criteria for this execution. The number of records dropped indicates the number of records that exceeded the maximum record length. The next line indicates the number of data sets (VSAM and/or IAM) that were included in the table for analysis and the number of unique job names that were found.

Important

This is not an actual count of number of jobs, only of the number of unique job names. This is followed by the date and time period from the SMF records that is present on the input file.

Space Utilization Summary

The next set of information provided is a space utilization summary, based on DASD device type and data set organization. This section will only include data for the data set organizations that IAMSMFVS was processing data. For example, if you had requested only VSAM data sets (DSORG=AM), then no values would be provided for IAM data sets. The amount of space figure is based upon the maximum space for each data set, as determined from the information in the SMF records.

Total Disk EXCP's

Then an EXCP summary is provided. The Total Disk EXCP's comes from an accumulation of the information from the step termination records for all non-temporary DASD data sets. The figures for each access method are the totals from the actual data set SMF records.
