GSTATUS

Displays information about the storage used to contain the Global Storage stem data which was loaded with SET GLOBAL STEM commands.


>>-GSTAtus-----------------------------------------------------><

The LSM Information window containing the GSTATUS display is closed if you issue a GSTATUS command when the window is open. If not opened, it is opened.

The information includes:

number of Global Storage stems
Global Storage storage consumption (total, direct, pooled)
Global Storage storage pool utilization, including the number of areas in the pool that are unused

The GSTATUS command helps when free storage is at a premium.

When Global Storage data is removed from storage with DROP GLOBAL, the storage areas which contained the extract data are retained for use by later SET GLOBAL stemname commands. Use the GPACK command to return to the operating system free storage pool those storage areas that no longer contain Global Storage data.
