DSNU504I csect-name MERGE STATISTICS FOR obj-type obj-qual.obj-name - NUMBER OF COPIES = cc, NUMBER OF PAGES MERGED = nnnnnn, ELAPSED TIME = hh/mm/ss

Explanation

This message is issued at the completion of the MERGE process for the MERGECOPY or RECOVER utility. The message indicates the number of image copies currently processed ('cc') and the total number of pages that were merged ('nnnnnn'). The same page can be obtained from more than one incremental image copy. MERGE is repeated for MERGECOPY if all of the input image copy data sets cannot be allocated and a temporary work data set has been specified.

For the RECOVER utility, MERGE is executed whether or not there are incremental image copies participating. In this case, the number of copies ('cc') is one.

The elapsed time of the MERGE is 'hh/mm/ss', hours, minutes, and seconds, respectively.

System action

The MERGECOPY or RECOVER utility continues processing; this message is for information only.

User response

The statistics are indicative of the processing required. For MERGECOPY, it could indicate that next time more input image copy data sets should be allocated. For example, if there was more than one MERGE pass then this message will be issued more than once. For both MERGECOPY and RECOVER, it could indicate that more frequent invocation of MERGECOPY is appropriate.
