Monitor Output window

Use the Monitor Output window to enable or disable the writing of monitor output to a data set.

The main use of this option is to gather data for problem determination. Records in DPMOUT format that correspond to data shown in the Online Monitor panels are written to a data set whenever the display is updated. Output from the Statistics and System Parameters panels can be used as input to the Batch Statistics and System Parameter reports respectively. The output from the Thread Display panels can only be processed by a batch Record trace.

To display this window, select option 3 (Monitor Output) from the Options menu.
