Writing a program to collect CICS statistics

Why collect CICS statistics?
CICS statistics contain information about the CICS system as a whole; for example, its performance and usage of resources. Statistics data is, therefore, useful both for performance tuning and for capacity planning.

Collecting and extracting CICS statistics
The statistics collected by CICS are written to an SMF data set. However, a user program can use the CICS Explorer® Regions operations view, the EXEC CICS COLLECT STATISTICS command and the EXEC CICS EXTRACT STATISTICS command to collect the current statistics for a particular resource, or overall statistics for the resources of a particular type.
