Redefining the default ranges

You can redefine the default ranges. To do this, you have to include an input control statement in the analysis control data set for each default range you want to override.

Related reading: The analysis control data set is explained under IMS Monitor Report Print utility (DFSUTR20) in IMS Version 15.5 Database Utilities.

To override default ranges, you specify control statements in the form Dn n1,n2,...where:

  • Dn is the ID of the event to be distributed (D23, for example, is the ID for IWAIT time for the OSAM event in the Program-I/O report)
  • n1 is a specific default value. Each of the 10 default values or buckets can be redefined. For example, the Program-I/O report IWAIT time for OSAM could be redefined as follows:

    D23  0,500,1000,1500,2000,4000,,,100000,500000

This would result in the 7th and 8th ranges remaining at their default values (150000 and 200000) and the final range (INF) remaining at its default value.
