Program statistics

CICS® produces statistical information for all programs that are defined in the Program Definitions (PD).

You can use these statistics to assist in tuning the system and for accounting purposes. You can also use them to calculate the average interval between uses of a program by dividing the statistics interval time by the number of times a program is used.
