Requests for monitoring and debugging your CICS program

You can use the STAT and LOG requests to help you in debugging your program.

• The statistics (STAT) request retrieves database statistics. STAT can be issued from both call- and command-level programs.
• The log (LOG) request makes it possible for the application program to write a record on the system log. You can issue LOG as a command or call in a batch program; in this case, the record is written to the IMS log. You can issue LOG as a call or command in an online program in the DBCTL environment; in this case, the record is written to the DBCTL log.
