//DFSSTAT reports

The //DFSSTAT reports show you how many DB and DC calls are issued by an application program and describe buffering activity during the application's execution. The reports are written when the application program terminates.

To get the reports, you must put a //DFSSTAT DD statement in the JCL of your batch region or online dependent region. The following is an example of a //DFSSTAT DD statement.

//DFSSTAT DD   SYSOUT=A
Recommendation: Although it is supported, do not include the //DFSSTAT DD statement in the JCL for an MPP region. If you do not include the //DFSSTAT DD statement, you avoid the overhead and large amount of output that results from creating one set of reports each time a short-running MPP terminates.

The following topics describe the reports that //DFSSTAT creates.
