  * USERS AFFECTED: All users of z/OS FlashCopy Manager.         *

  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: New Function: Identify the device or    *
  *                      devices that are taking the longest to  *
  *                      establish FlashCopy Relationships.      *

  Support for displaying the times it takes to do a FlashCopy
  establish or withdraw was added in two places and is
  controlled by parameters specified in any of the jobs that
  call FLYAFC09 in the
  highqual.FCMGR.groupqual.NEW.JOBS and
  highqual.FCMGR.groupqual.CURRENT.JOBS PDS.  In
  highqual.FCMGR.groupqual.NEW.JOBS the following members may
  be changed to get the new message:
  
   A@WITHDR
   B@ESTABL
   Z@ESTABL
   Z@WITHDR
  
  Longest I/O:  Jobs that call FLYAFC09 may now specify an
  additional 'X' to receive an additional message, FLYAF604I
  that contains the device number and time of the device that
  took the longest to complete the I/O.  Edit the desired
  members and add an 'X' to the parms passed to FLYAFC09.
  Make sure that 'DELAY' is also specified.  For example:
  
  //***********************************************************
  //FREEZE  EXEC PGM=FLYAFC09,COND=(0,LT),
  //         PARM='FCFRX,F1=202601,DELAY,TON,X'
  
  When the job is run, look at the output for additional
  messages FLYAF602I and FLYAF604I that will contain the device
  number of the device that took the longest to complete the
  establish or withdraw I/O and the time it took. For example:
  
  FLYAF602I Time - T0=13:58:00.703  - T2=13:58:00.715
  FLYAF604I LONGEST I/O 0F45    0.010 seconds
  
  Each I/O: A message for each pair will be issued if the
  'TRACE' parameter is specified. The parameters 'TRACE' and 'X'
  are mutually exclusive but may be specified together.  Be sure
  'DELAY' is specified. If 'TRACE' is specified, expect a set of
  trace messages that will include a FLYAF903I message with the
  pair, the device number and the time it took to complete the
  I/O.  This option should only be used if for problem
  determination as the number of messages could be substantial
  given the number of tasks and establishes or withdraws done.
