Statistical analysis utility reports

The input data for the Statistics Analysis utility is a set of IMS log data sets, or user data sets created by the Log Archive utility.

Each input data set can consist of multiple volumes. Several data sets can be concatenated and you can include data sets from multiple IMS systems connected through shared queues or MSC.

Restriction: You cannot use system log output from a batch system.

You can use the Transaction Analysis utility to obtain new system logs with reduced content to save processing time.

The Statistical Analysis utility has six control statements you can use to select a subset of transaction activity.

Transaction code control statement: You can use this control statement to select a specific transaction code or groups of transaction codes.
Symbolic terminal name control statement: You can use this control statement to specify the LTERM name or a generic name. For example, L3270M selects all messages originating from or directed to that LTERM. A generic name of L3270* could select L3270M and L3270B messages, the comparison being based on the characters preceding the *.
You can further qualify the output LTERM so that only messages to a given symbolic name resulting from the input LTERM specified are selected.
Time control statement: You can specify an interval as a criterion for selection. You give the start and stop times in the form YYDDD and HHMM (Julian day and clock time in minutes). This range criterion is applied to all messages selected by transaction code and terminal specifications.
Message select output order statement: Use this control statement to determine which order to list messages. This control statement affects only the content of the Message Select and List or Copy output.
Nonprintable character control statement: If you anticipate non-printable characters in the message text, you can specify they be printed in hexadecimal format (first character above the second). Otherwise, the characters appear as blanks.
