Record Size Distribution report

This report contains a printed histogram of the sizes of all database records.

If the PAD operand of COMPRTN= parameter in DBDGEN SEGM statement is defined, and the length of the fixed-length segment is shorter than the PAD value by the Segment Edit/Compression exit, the PAD value is used to calculate the size of the database records instead of the segment length.

You can specify the width of the histogram classes in column 58 of your control statement (see FABSPSSR CTL data set or FABSPSSI CTL data set). For databases with a large number of database records, this report is much more useful than the Record Sizes report.

The following figure shows an example of this report.
