EXSTCHSC for HSC 1.1.0. This change adds support for that new

FORMATS subtype, and creates a new STCHSC data set, with some

VMACSTC 60 new variables. New $MGSTCxx. formats were also

Aug 2, 1990 created to decode several variables.
Change 08.091 Amdahl's MDFTRACK SMF records were not quite right. Six

VMACMDF variables, DOMMIN,DOMTGT,DOMMAX,DOMNORM,DOMATGT,DOMUTIL

Aug 1, 1990 were missing.

1.In lines 011700 thru 012300, where these variables were

INPUTed as ?? PD4.2, they should instead be PIB4.

2.Insert six new lines, after 014200, to convert these six

fields to their screen values:

DOMATGT=FLOOR((((DOMATGT)/GBLELTM)+5)/10); 014210

DOMMAX =FLOOR((((DOMMAX )/GBLELTM)+5)/10); 014220

DOMMIN =FLOOR((((DOMMIN )/GBLELTM)+5)/10); 014230

DOMNORM=FLOOR((((DOMNORM)/GBLELTM)+5)/10); 014240

DOMTGT =FLOOR((((DOMTGT )/GBLELTM)+5)/10); 014250

DOMUTIL=FLOOR((((DOMUTIL)/GBLELTM)+5)/10); 014260

Change 08.090 These extensive validation corrections to ACF2 support

VMACACF2 correct the ARE processing, and clean up several other

Aug 1, 1990 minor bugs. This replaces the temporary fix for the

ARE that was made by Change 8.002, and this fix should

have been in PreRelease 8.2, but got lost temporarily!

1.Lines 010400-010500, remove ACEEMLTH ACEELDNM ACEVLOFF &

ACEFLDVL, as they do not exist.

2.Line 011700, ACLMAMFS should be ACLMAFMS.

3.Lines 032600,032700 change ACTMFTOD to ACSMFTOD.

4.Line 035900, change PIB8. to TODSTAMP8.

5.Lines 037300-037400 can be deleted.

6.Line 046200 can be deleted.

7.Line 016010 inserted after 016000 naming all five of

the ACJ..... variables in ACF2TR.

8.Line 062000 (ACVMFRT PIB1.), insert new line after

containing +1

9.Lines 049100-055900 were completely re-written to

properly decode the ARE segments.

Thanks to J. R. Dravnieks, Ladbroke Computer Services, NETHERLANDS.
Change 08.089 Obscure. Using the FREQ= options of VMXGSUM can result in

VMXGSUM erroneous counts if all variables in the MIN=,MAX=,MEAN=,

Jul 31, 1990 or SUM= macro arguments contain missing values.

Replace three lines 034900-035100 (now reading):

%IF %LENGTH(&FREQ) NE 0 %THEN %DO;

N=&FREQ


%END;

with these two lines:

NMISS = MXGNMISS

N = MXGMISS

Change line 035300 to read:

DATA &OUTDATA (DROP=MXGMISS MXGNMISS);

Insert the following after line 035600:

%IF %LENGTH(&FREQ) NE 0 %THEN %DO;

&FREQ = SUM(MXGMISS,MXGNMISS);

%END
Change 08.088 Early alpha tests of a new DB2 monitor created an SMF 100

VMACDB2 subtype 1 data record with a subtype field of zero, which

Jul 30, 1990 caused MXG to STOPOVER abend. Although the real cause of

the error was a bad record (that was immediately fixed),

this change was added to enhance MXG to be more robust

and to avoid the STOPOVER even in the face of bad data!

It's unlikely you will need to install this insurance:

1.Line 086200 should be LENQLST PIB2. vice OFFQLST PIB2.

2.After line 088700 ( IF QWHSLEN GE 52 THEN ...), insert:

IF QWHSNSDA LT 13 THEN OFFRSV3=.; 088710

IF QWHSNSDA LT 12 THEN OFFQJST=.; 088720

==============Changes thru 8.087 comprised MXG PreRelease 8.2===========

Change 08.087 Lines 046800 thru 047100 should have denominator TRANSNO

VMACNSPY instead of TOTRSPNO for calculation of T1RSPPC-T4RSPPC.

Jul 20, 1990 If this DO group was entered (not likely), missing values

were calculated because TOTRSPNO was missing. This only

affected the NSPYLU data set values.

Thanks to Marty Quinlan, Virginia Power, USA.
Change 08.086 PreRelease validation identified many datasets which did

DOC not have ZDATE, some $MG.. formatted variables that were

Jul 20, 1990 length 8, some DATETIME variables that were not length 8,

and many variables with no label. Uninitialized variable

messages were also detected and corrected, and the TREND

data base code was added to the MXG Validation/Cross

reference testing.
Change 08.085 This JCL member contains IDCAMS control statements and

JCLVSAM JCL to build a VSAM ESDS data set that is needed only for

Jul 20, 1990 MXG testing of RMF III (VMACZRB) code.

Thanks to Jeannie Hopf, Hopf Consulting, USA.


Change 08.084 This is a significant internal revision to DB2 reporting

ANALDB2R from SMF trace data. Previously, you had to update/edit

Jul 20, 1990 member IMAC102 to tell MXG what trace classes had been

enabled. If you did not update IMAC102 correctly, MXG

would create zero observations in T102Snnn datasets, even

though there were SMF records for IFCIC nnn in your SMF

file. Now, when you specify PDB=SMF in ANALDB2R, the

program is smart enough to know which datasets are needed

and ANALDB2R no longer uses IMAC102 to control T102S...

datasets. (Note: IMAC102 is still needed if you use the

TYPE102/VMAC102/BUILDPDB method of processing DB2 trace

type 102 records; this change applies only to ANALDB2R,

and only when PDB=SMF is specified to read SMF data.)

Additionally, macro variables corresponding to macro

names constructed by IMAC102 were added to ANALDB2R to

allow you to select specific trace class(s), using the

syntax of DB2TC1=YES as the argument when you invoke the

%ANALDB2R report macro. Documentation (comments in the

member itself) was added to describe the new parameters,

and also to list which trace classes must be enabled for

each report group. The member was renumberd.
Change 08.083 Dataset VXIODDEV variables AVGPNDMS,AVGDISMS,AVGCONMS are

VMACVMXA incorrect (but this should not affect most users, as this

Jul 20, 1990 detail dataset is not typically used; instead VXDEVTOT

and VXSUMIOD are used and their values were correct). But

now, even these variables are always correct.

Dataset VXPRCPRP variable HFUSERZ is now formatted 5.1

and multiplied by 100, as it is a percentage, not a rate.

Thanks to Dick Whiting, Precision Castparts, USA.


Change 08.082 Support for APAR OY32638 which (finally!!) adds PROCSTEP

IMAC30 to the type 30 record datasets, and to the PDB.STEPS data

VMAC30 set in your PDB. This procedure stepname has been wanted

Jul 20, 1990 since OS/360. However, what is still wanted and still not

provided in any SMF record is the actual name of the JCL

procedure that was executed by the user on the EXEC card!


Change 08.081 Support for APAR OY25606/OY33312, which (incompatibly)

VMAC30 added a new 4-byte field (SMF30EOS) to replace the 2-byte

Jul 14, 1990 existing SMF30EOR. Without this change, MXG variable

EXTRADD will contain a value of 61682, but as that is

not actually used by MXG, the incompatibility is one of

principle rather than one of fact. The EXTRADD field had

to be expanded from half-word to full-word to keep count

of the number of extra DD segments in additional SMF

type 30 records that can be written if the new DDCONS(NO)

option is specified. See extensive discussion in IBM's

Washington Systems Center Flash Number 9027, and further

notes in the next MXG newsletter. Inserted to correct:

IF OFFPROD-3-COL GE 6 THEN INPUT @105 EXTRADD PIB4. @;

Thanks to George Scott, Rockwell International Corporation, USA.


Change 08.080 Support for ORACLE SMF Record. The data set ORACLE is

ANALORAC built from the SMF record ID specified in IMACORAC

EXORACLE (which should be copied into your USERID.SOURCLIB and

IMACORAC changed therein). A set of sample reports are also in

TYPEORAC ANALORAC. This user contribution was reformatted and

VMACORAC has been tested with a small sample of ORACLE data.

Jul 7, 1990

Thanks to David Henley, Signet Bank/BISYS, USA.


Change 08.079 Significant validation of RMF III VSAM records is in this

VMACZRB user enhancement. In addition to corrections in VMACZRB,

TYPEZRB new members ZRBCHECK will check the integrity of these

ZRBCHECK datasets produced by VMACZRB, and member ZRBMXIDX now

ZRBDLYBT summarizes and builds an index for the datasets that are

ZRBMKIDX built from VMACZRB, and member ZRBDLYBT reads the index

Jul 7, 1990 and summarized datasets to produce delay reasons for

batch jobs. VMACZRB0 is a backup of previous VMACZRB.

Thanks to Roland Rashleigh-Berry, National Westminster Bank, ENGLAND.
=========Changes thru 8.078 were printed in Newsleter SEVENTEEN=========
Change 08.078 SAS 6.06 Compatibility. Comma after last argument.

TRNDJOBS An extraneous comma after line 002900 works under 5.18

Jul 4, 1990 but is flagged as an error under 6.06. This comma is

after the last macro argument, immediately preceding the

close parenthesis, and was not required, so its gone.

Thanks to M. Cambier, Credit Lyonnais, FRANCE.


Change 08.077 The variable ACCESS should have been created in the exit

ANALDSET for TYPE64, but was not. Insert new line after 007300

Jul 4, 1990 setting ACCESS='VSAM';

Thanks to John R. Grout, Midlantic National Bank, USA.


Change 08.076 Further validation of Trending uncovered incorrect code

ASUMCICS in these ASUM.... members (that take detail data like

ASUMJOBS CICS transactions, JOBs, etc. and summarize in groups).

ASUMTMNT 1.Response buckets in ASUMCICS were off by one bucket. In

Jul 4, 1990 lines 009900 thru 010500 change LE to LT, and in line

010700 change RESPMAX=RESP to RESPMAX=IRESPTM.

2.Similarly, in ASUMJOBS change lines 003600 thru 004200

from LE to LT.

3.Similarly, in ASUMTMNT change lines 002400 thru 003000

from LE to LT.

Thanks to Jim Hinkel, Weyerhaeuser Company, USA.
Change 08.075 The VTOC processing code did not capture free space that

VMXGVTOC is located at the very beginning of the volume. This

Jul 4, 1990 change added about 30 lines to recognize that situation.

Thanks to Uriel Carrasquilla, Vancouver Stock Exchange, CANADA.


Change 08.074 Preliminary support for IBM System Managed Storage (SMS)

EXDCOCLU utility program DCOLLECT, that creates a flat file of

EXDCODSN Data Set, Cluster, and Volume information from SMS. This

EXDCOVOL significant user contribution creates three MXG datasets,

IMACDCOL DCOLCLUS, DCOLDSET, and DCOLVOLS from DCOLLECT output.

TYPEDCOL Not all of the variables have been decoded, and the code

VMACDCOL may be enhanced in the future with decoding formats.

Jul 4, 1990

Thanks to Tom Skasa, General Electric Medical Systems, USA.
Change 08.073 Considerable validation of the VVDS record created by MXG

VMACVVDS member ASMVVDS and processed by VMACVVDS has uncovered

Jun 28, 1990 several errors and additional variables are created.

1.Variables VVRCATSD VVRCOMTP VVRKRQ VVRSELFD VVRSPCFG

VVRSPCOP and VVRSSDAT should be added to the KEEP list.

2.These seven new variable's labels should be added:

VVRCATSD = 'SELF-DESCRIBING*VVR FOR*CATALOG'

VVRCOMTP = 'COMPONENT*TYPE'

VVRKRQ = 'KEY*RANGE*QUALIFIER'

VVRSELFD = 'SELF-DESCRIBING*VVR FOR*VVDS'

VVRSPCFG = 'SPACE*FLAGS'

VVRSPCOP = 'SPACE*OPTIONS'

VVRSSDAT = 'SEQUENCE*SET*WITH DATA'

3.Add variables VVRALTSP VVRAMSTS and VVRTMSTP length 8 to

the LENGTH statement at line 012900.

4.Add variables VVRALSTP VVRAMSTS and VVRTMSTP to the

FORMAT statement at line 014300 with DATETIME21.2;

5.After line 016500 (before the END; before 'D8'X), insert

IF VVRFLAG='.1......'B THEN VVRSELFD='Y';

IF VVRFLAG='..1.....'B THEN VVRCATSD='Y';

IF VVRFLAG='....0...'B THEN VVRCOMTP='D'; /* DATA */

ELSE VVRCOMTP='I'; /* INDEX */

6.Change SMFSTAMP8. in 024100, 024200 and 029100 to

TODSTAMP8.

7.Change test '....1...'B for VVRA1IUP in line 024900 to

instead test '.....1..'B.

8.After line 026000 (after IF VVRAIXFG ...), insert

IF VVRSPCFG='11......'B THEN VVRSPCOP='CYL';

ELSE VVRSPCOP='TRK';

9.In lines 030600 thru 031200 the test for VVRDSATR should

instead test VVRAMATR.

10.Change all " IB" to " PIB" (binary numbers should be

PIBn. rather than IBn. to prevent unexpected negatives.)

Thanks to Tuanhung Doanvo, Philip Morris, USA.


Change 08.072 SAS 6.06 Compatibility. ID statement different.

TRNDRMFI To avoid a very obscure exposure if SU_SEC was missing,

Jul 3, 1990 the order is now ID = NRCPUS PARTNCPU SU_SEC STARTIME,
Change 08.071 SAS 6.06 Compatibility. AUTOCALL fails.

ANALDB2R The first line of an AUTOCALLd macro cannot be non-blank

VMXGGOPT in column 72 of the first line of the member, until SAS

VMXGHSM ZAP Z6060946 exists.

Jun 29, 1990
Change 08.070 The MXG 7.7 Tape Mount Monitor (in ASMTMNT) does work on

ASMTMNT MVS/ESA as well as MVS/XA (and, also for MVS/370!). The

Jun 29, 1990 comment in that member is wrong; the code had been tested

under MVS/ESA last year. The argument yy of SYPARM(xx,yy)

value of SP builds the MVS/370 monitor, using XA for yy

creates a monitor that works on either MVS/XA or MVS/ESA.

This change only changed the comments, not any real code.
Change 08.069 BUILDPDB/3 has been enhanced in several ways.

BUILDPDB 1.The contents of the SPIN library are now copied into the

BUILDPD3 PDB library at the end of BUILDPDB/3 processing. This is

Jul 3, 1990 both for Backup/Recovery and for possible analysis.

Should you ever need to back up and recover your PDB jobs

you would simply go back to the last successful PDB, and

copy (PROC COPY IN=PDB OUT=SPIN; SELECT SPIN:;) the SPIN

data sets from that PDB into your SPIN library, and then

re-process the input SMF data.

In addition, by inclusion of the SPIN data sets in your

PDB, jobs which executed yesterday but have not yet

purged will be available in the SPIN30_5 (and their steps

in the SPIN30_4) data set for timely reporting.

2.Job accounting variables ACCOUNTn and SHIFT were added to

the PDB.SMFINTRV data set. SHIFT is defined by your shift

definition in IMACSHFT, applied to the interval INTBTIME

begin time stamp. This would allow shift by shift charging

for your long running jobs, but if you do so, you must be

careful to not double charge between the PDB.SMFINTRV and

the duplicate data in PDB.JOBS and/or PDB.STEPS.

The BUILDPDB logic was slightly altered by this change.

Previously, the PDB.SMFINTRV data set was built by sort

of the TYPE30_V before the EXPDBSPN exit. Now, the logic

is relocated to after all EXPDB... exits, just before

the SPIN library is updated. Completed jobs (PDB.JOBS)

and incomplete jobs (SPIN30_1) are now merged with the

type 30 interval records and output in PDB.SMFINTRV.

Unless you used exit EXPDBSPN and expected PDB.SMFINTRV

to exist in that exit, there is no compatibility issue.

you have used EXPDBSPN

3.TYPE25 data set (JES3 Main Device Scheduled) is now added

automatically to the JES 3 PDB built by BUILDPD3.


Change 08.068 SAS 6.06 Options are controlled by the DDNAME of CONFIG

CONFIG in the SAS606 procedure. The MXG library now contains

Jun 28, 1990 the CONFIG member, which has been used in all of MXG's

testing discussed in Newsletter SEVENTEEN. It may change

as more is discovered in testing SAS 6.06, but it is here

so that you will know what options we had changed from

SAS's defaults. You may find a separate CONFIGTSO member

useful to specify NODMS, NOCENTER, etc., because SAS 6.06

does not automatically recognize the TSO environment. In

the production version 8 there will likely be multiple

CONFIG... members.

Change 08.067 ANALDB2R reporting was slightly different than IBM DB2PM.

ANALDB2R 1.The Accounting Detail showed average instead of total for

Jul 3, 1990 Class 3 System Events. Moved variables QWACARNA,QWACARNE

from MEAN= at line 015240 to the SUM= at line 015330.

2.The ELAPSED time on the MXG report was the ending minus

starting time, instead of the sum of the plan execution

durations. Deleted lines 109400-109430 and 117940-117970

Thanks to Piara Singh, Ministry of Health, SINGAPORE.


Change 08.066 This change supports the new "SRCL" field added to RMF

VMAC7072 product section by APAR OY28449 and PTF UY49092. The

VMAC71 text of the PTF claims that

VMAC73 "the APAR will not impact the customer unless they

VMAC74 have private programs that process RMF - SMF records.

VMAC75 The customer will have to modify their programs/execs

VMAC76 to include the new SRCL field..."

VMAC77 but there is NO impact on MXG 7.7. The new field was

VMAC78 already a reserved field in the RMF product section, and

VMAC79 its value is currently always zero. This change uniformly

XMAC7072 renames the reserved field @OFFRMFP+51 as RMFSRCL, but

XMAC71 only for possible future use when IBM actually puts a

XMAC73 non-zero value in the field (which is suposed to be an

XMAC74 indicator of the RMF source level that created the RMF

XMAC75 record).

Jul 2, 1990


Change 08.065 This announces support for CICS/ESA Releases thru 3.1.1

EXCIC... Monitor and Performance data. Forty seven MXG datasets

FORMATS are created from the new Statistics class data, and new

IBCICTRN variables were added to CICSTRAN and CICSEXCE. Two data

PRCICALL sets no longer exist in CICS/ESA: CICSACCT was always

UTILCICS redundant with CICSTRAN, and CICSYSTM's interval data is

VMAC110 now contained in (and significantly enhanced) in the 47

VMAC110B new CIC..... CICS statistics datasets. See the technical

VMAC110M note in MXG Newsletter SEVENTEEN documenting changes.

Jun 30, 1990 a.The new member VMAC110 contains support for all CICS data

(1.5,1.6,1.6.1,1.7,2.1,3.1.0, and 3.1.1) concurrently.

b.Member VMAC110B is the backup copy of VMAC110 before the

3.1.1 changes. It will not exist in the next prerelease.

c.VMAC110M processes only subtype 1 records for CICS/ESA

and previous CICS's; it does not process new Statistics

structure, but does know about new fields in the CICS

dictionary in 3.1.1. It may be needed to avoid a SAS 344

Compiler Limit exceeded error under SAS 5.18 for sites

that do not have SAS 6.06 available.

d.FORMATS member on MXG 8.2 contains new CICS formats.

e.IBCICTRN labels all CICSTRAN variables with the CMODHEAD

name from the dictionary. Then, you can

PROC PRINT DATA=CICSTRAN SPLIT='*';

%INCLUDE SOURCLIB(IBCICTRN);

to print the CICSTRAN monitor data with IBM headings.

Useful when you need to talk to IBM about their data!

f.PRCICALL will print (with or without SPLIT='*') all 47

new CIC.... data sets and the pre-existing four as well.

The OBS= parameter limits print to first 300 obs, but

even that can be lots of paper.

g.UTILCICS knows about the CICS/ESA dictionary, but has not

yet been updated for connectors, as there has been no

need thus far for that enhancement.

h.See NEWSLETTER SEVENTEEN for initial documentation.


Change 08.064 Boole and Babbage's IMS Measurement Facility (IMF/CIMS)

VMACCIMS product Release 2.6 supports IMS 3.1 with no changes in

Jun 24, 1990 the IMF data records written to the IMS log, so therefore

MXG now (and before) supports IMS 3.1 IMF records!


Change 08.063 SAS 6.06 Compatibility. SAS/STAT existence and ID.

GRAFTRND Added SASSTAT option to indicate you have SAS/STAT.

Jul 3, 1990 Added error message if SU_SEC (used to normalize CPU in

plots) is missing. Default device changed to PCBATCH.

Code was consolidated, enhanced and renumbered.

Thanks to Bruce L. Green, Medical Information Bureau, USA.


Change 08.062 SAS 6.06 Compatibility. PROC MEANS vs SUMMARY.

ANALBNCH Each PROC MEANS NOPRINT execution with an OUT= option

ANALBNC1 was located and (DROP=_FREQ_ _TYPE_) was added after the

ANALCACH output data set name in the OUT= option, so that these

ANALCICS variables (created because 6.06 PROC MEANS now actually

ANALDB2R is PROC SUMMARY) are not kept. At the same time, all

ANALDMON PROC MEANS statements were re-ordered so that the NOPRINT

ANALDOS option immediately follows the MEANS, for consistency.

Jul 3, 1990 GREPLAY. Deleted GROUPing logic if executed under SAS

6.06. Changed default device to PCBATCH.


Change 08.060 SAS 6.06 Compatibility. DROP= validation.

VMACVMON Remove MN002RS1,MN002RS2,MN003RSV from DROP= option in

Jun 14, 1990 line 361600. Remove INTERVAL from DROP=option in lines

361800, 362000, 362200, 362400, and 362600.


Change 08.059 SAS 6.06 Compatibility. Parser error. PROC SORT

ANALCICS DATA=_CICTRAN. CICSTRAN fails with a 201 error, but it

Jun 14, 1990 accepts _CICTRAN.CICSTRAN or _CICTRAN . CICSTRAN syntax.

SAS 5.18 didn't care about blanks before or after the

delimiter period in a full data set name.

Will not be repaired until SAS 6.07.

Thanks to Dennis Longnecker, Admin. for the Courts, WA. State, USA.
Change 08.058 This TREND example needed a PROC SORT; BY SYSTEM PERFGRP;

JCLTREND to be inserted before line 005900 (PROC PLOT) to avoid a

Change 08.057 Invalid type 6 SMF records can cause an MXG STOPOVER. In

VMAC6 most cases, the record is created by an external writer

May 9, 1990 that lies (by storing subsys of 2 instead of 0, making me

believe this is a JES-written record), but it can also be

caused by an IBM-written record with incorrect data.

This change adds an additional test to detect the invalid

record and avoids the STOPOVER. Replace the three lines

that test SECTIND (lines 022500, 025400 and 028800) with:

IF SECTIND='1.......'B AND OFTONXT+35 LE LENGTH THEN DO;

IF SECTIND='.1......'B AND OFTONXT+ 5 LE LENGTH THEN DO;

IF SECTIND='..1.....'B AND OFTONXT+46 LE LENGTH THEN DO;

Even these tests are not sufficient when a SMF6LN3 value

says 162 bytes exist, but the record is truncated, as is

found in MVS 3.1.3. For this case, an additonal test was

added to line 027100 which now reads

IF SMF6LN3 GE 162 AND LENGTH-COL+1 GE 124 THEN

Finally, all other conditional input statement are now

protected similar to line 027100 to test both the LENGTH

minus COL plus one, against the data to be inputted.

These MXG circumventions for the defective IBM type 6

record are not necessary if you instead install the APAR

OY29986 PTF UY49159 for JES 2 3.1.3 causing the error.

Change 08.056 SYNCSORT SMF record for sorts using E15/E35 exits ahve a

VMACSYNC value of hex 00 for SIRECFM, SORECFM, causing an "INVALID

May 8, 1990 DATA" message and a dump of the input record. Inserting a

double questionmark (SIRECFM ?? 1. and SORECFM ?? 1.) the

invalid data message goes away.

Thanks to Dave Greene, Kwasha Lipton, USA.


Change 08.055 RMF Type 79 data validation continues. Formats have been

VMAC79 assigned: R791DP HEX4., R791TRTM and R796TOD TIME12.2,

May 8, 1990 and R794AFC MGBYTES. INPUT statements were corrected:

May 9, 1990 R791TRTM PIB4.3 and R792TDEV PIB4.6. Line 051300 (4096*

R793LOUT) was deleted and removed from MGBYTES format,

new lines added 040610 R792TDEV=128*R792TDEV; and added

060110 R794AFC=4096*R794AFC;to correct units. A number

of other fields which contain memory(pages/frames,etc)

measures were inconsistent. They were either not mult.

by 4096, not Formatted MGBYTES, or did not have (MB) in

their label to indicate they are in units of K,M, etc.

They are all now consistent, and they include:

792: FXBL, PNV, PSWP, PVIO CMNI PIN

794: CMNI CMNO CSAI ERTE HSP LPAI MRTE PRVI PRVO PSPI

PSPO and VIO

Thanks to Diane Eppestine, Southwestern Bell, USA.


Change 08.054 RMF Monitor III VSAM dataset records cause STOPOVER with

VMACZRB RMF 4.1.1. Since MXG 7.7 supporte RMF 3.4.1, it is not

May 7, 1990 surprising that the lengths in the RELINFO: table needed

to be changed. However, actual data record lengths do not

agree with IBM documentation, and occasional STOPOVERs

still occur (possibly because these records can span a

physical record). Further research and validation will

be done at a later date, but it appears the code can be

used if STOPOVER in line 000200 is changed to MISSOVER,

and try these values following the label RELINFO:

ASISIZE = 120 (IBM document said 114, MXG 7.7 was 88)

GEISIZE = 132 (IBM document agrees, MXG 7.7 was 96)

SSHSIZ = 264 (IBM document said 260, MXG 7.7 was 240)

Thanks to Jim Stebel, Royal Insurance, USA.

Thanks to Richard Evans, Mervyn's, USA.
Change 08.053 SAS 6.06 Compatibility. A RUN; statement was added

GRAFRMFI before each PROC GREPLAY to isolate potential problems,

May 7, 1990 the test for Version EQ 5 was changed to GE 5.
Change 08.052 Type 37 processing directly from VSAM SMF records was

VMAC37 not complete. In lines 017400, 019100, 021300, 022700,

May 7, 1990 024800, 025700, 028100 and 032000 add +OFFSMF after -3.

Thanks to Herr Lehmann, GRZ Norddeutschland, GERMANY.

Thanks to Herr Kumellis, GRZ Norddeutschland, GERMANY.
Change 08.051 Line 008200 should be spelled CPUOVHTM vice CPUOHVTM,

GRAFTRND and GOUT=TREND.GRAPHS should be GOUT=&TREND..GRAPHS in

May 7, 1990 all five places to be consistent with other references.

Thanks to Norbert Korsche, OMV-AG, AUSTRIA.


Change 08.050 TSO/MON now supports TSO measurement of Batch execution,

VMACTSOM and thus JOB $CHAR7. in line 068700 should be changed to

May 7, 1990 JOB $CHAR8. TSO Userid's were restricted to seven chars,

but batch jobs can be all eight positions. Minor.


Change 08.049 Documentation note. Data set TYPE78CF will contain an

VMAC73 observation only if a CHPID is online (because NRCUS must

VMAC78 be non-zero), but the TYPE73 dataset will contain an obs

May 7, 1990 for each CHPID in the record, whether online or not. Why

the difference? They were written at different times!

To be consistent, I should externalize both tests to the

exit members and consistenly keep only those CHPIDS that

are online (to minimize the unnecessary data in your PDB)

but for now I will leave it the way it is.

Thanks to Laurie Maser, Central Illinois Light Company, USA.


Change 08.048 Variables ABNDRSNC DIVRREAD DSSIZHWM and TERMNAME were

IMACPDB not kept in PDB.STEPS from TYPE30_4, but now were added

VMAC30 in macro _PDB30_4 in member IMACPDB, so they are. Also,

May 7, 1990 variable DSSIZHWM was added to the KEEP list for dataset

TYPE30_V (and thus also will be in PDB.SMFINTRV)

Thanks to Diane Eppestine, Southwestern Bell, USA.


Change 08.047 ACF2 dataset ACF2JR will have fewer observations with

EXACFJR MXG 7.7 than it contained with MXG 6.6, because a test

May 4, 1990 in EXACFJR inadvertently deleted SMF records. Remove

the temporary fix "IF ACLEMLTH LT 256;" statement and

its associated comment.

Thanks to Ilana Towery, Houston General Insurance Company, USA.


Change 08.046 Pre-release 8.1 shipped to support ESP product.

May 4, 1990


Change 08.045 MXG's algorithm to detect the wrap of the 202-day clock

VMACVMON in VM/SP failed at 24APR90:08:22:10. MXG's next timestamp

May 4, 1990 was 02OCT89:17:40:04, and the rest of the records in that

VM Monitor file had the Oct 2, 1989 date, because 16* was

left out of line 029400 when Change 6.023 was installed.

The test for new interval in line 029400 should read:

IF LASTHALF AND 16*MNHTOD LT FFFFFOV2 THEN DO;

The incorrect STARTIMEs only occurred on the day of the

clock wrap; the next MXG run (or a monitor start event)

corrected the MXG error.

Thanks to Nancy Ayers, General Electric Lighting, USA.
Change 08.044 Preliminary support for the Cray supercomputer COS 1.16

EXCRA... operating system accounting and performance records. This

VMACCRAY support requires SAS Version 6.06+ (because of ASCII

May 3, 1990 character variables). Future revisions will support the

COS 1.17 changes, and eventually, UNICOS as well. There

are 6 CRAYA... datasets built from account records,

16 CRAYP... datasets built from SPM performance records,

and the MXG-built CRAYPINT "Interval Performance" dataset

built by sum/merging those 16 SPF datasets.

These datasets are currently built:


CRAYAEJ Label='Accounting Job Termination'

CRAYAET Label='Accounting Task Termination'

CRAYAFU Label='Accounting BMR Device Utilization'

CRAYAGU Label='Accounting Generic Resource'

CRAYAPD Label='Accounting Permanent Data'

CRAYATA Label='Accounting Tape Data'

CRAYPCP Label='SPM CPU Times and Task Times'

CRAYPTK Label='SPM Task Requests'

CRAYPER Label='SPM Executive Requests'

CRAYPMU Label='SPM Memory Utilization'

CRAYPDU Label='SPM Disk Utilization'

CRAYPDC Label='SPM Disk Channel'

CRAYPLU Label='SPM Link Utilization'

CRAYPEC Label='SPM Executive Calls'

CRAYPUC Label='SPM User Calls'

CRAYPPU Label='SPM Preemptable Generic Resources'

CRAYP11 Label='SPM JSH Statistics'

CRAYP12 Label='SPM Job Class Information'

CRAYP13 Label='SPM JSH Request Count'

CRAYPIC Label='SPM Channel Interrupts'

CRAYPSB Label='SPM System Buffer Utilization'

CRAYPINT Label='SPM Interval Performance'


Change 08.043 NETSPY Version 3.1 (3.2 is current) can cause a STOPOVER

VMACNSPY because the test in line 032300 should be NSPYENTL GE 177

Apr 30, 1990 (the current test was NSPYENTL GE 167).

Thanks to David B. Adams, National Life of Vermont, USA.


Change 08.042 IMS log processing variable VTAMNODE should be added to

VMACIMS the IMS03 and IMS36 dataset KEEP list and removed from

Apr 30, 1990 the IMS01M dataset KEEP list. The two occurrences of

IF VTAMNODE GE ' ' ... should be changed to now test for

IF VTAMNODE NE ' ' ....

Thanks to Pete Shepard, Ashland Oil, USA.


Change 08.041 EXPLORE/VM second occurrence of CHANBUSY in the LABEL and

VMACVMXP INPUT statements (lines 054000 and 056600) should be

Apr 30, 1990 changed to CHANBUS2 and variable CHANBUS2 should be added

to the KEEP list (line 005700). CHANBUSY is the IPL-proc

Channel Busy and CHANBUS2 is the non-IPL-proc chan busy.

Thanks to Pete Shepard, Ashland Oil, USA.


Change 08.040 MXG 7.7 can have 0 observations in CICS datasets built

VMAC110 from CICS 1.7 records. An anticipatory change was added

Apr 30, 1990 that used a reserved field, but the field is not always

Jun 30, 1990 zero in 1.7 (but it seems okay in CICS 2.1). Either

delete line 025320 (IF SUBTYPE NE 0 THEN DELETE;) for the

present, or if you have both CICS 1.7/2.1 records and

are also testing CICS/ESA 3.1.1, change the logic to:
INPUT @31+OFFSMF OLDVERCI $CHAR2. @19+OFFSMF SUBTYPE PIB2. @;

IF '02' LE OLDVERCI LE '03' THEN SUBTYPE=0;

IF SUBTYPE NE 0 THEN DELETE;
This is a safe test, since the OLDVERCI field in CICS 3.1.1

is the SMFPSNPS (number of product sections, always '0001'X),

and OLDVERCI in CICS 2.1 and earlier will be 'F0F2'X or

'F0F3'X.


Thanks to David Ayresman, University of Louisville, USA.

Thanks to Hunter Chang, Sydney County Council, AUSTRALIA.


Change 08.039 TYPE6156 variable VOLSERs are wrong when additional

VMAC6156 "GOOVOO" entries follow the GOOVOO for this Entry. The

Apr 30, 1990 logic to update VOLSER in MXG was incomplete in this

instance.

a.Add DO; after the THEN which ends statement 019600.

b.MOVE lines 019600-019700 to after 020600 (the @;).

c.Insert new line 021610 (after 021600, END;) containing

END; (to complete the new DO; added above).

Thanks to Tim Kearney, Allied-Signal, Inc, USA.
Change 08.038 NPM records can be created under VM and processed by MXG

VMAC28 with these changes (mostly to VM:)

Apr 23, 1990 a.In FNMINIT FNMPARM A in the NPM MACRO the session

parameter was modified to read session=(session,NPMLOG),

i.e., to write session data to the NPMLOG as well as the

session log.

b.In NPMSTRT GCS A the FILEDEF for FMNLOG1 and FMNLOG2 was

modified to read FILEDEF FNMLOG1 DISK FNMLOG1 LOG A4

FILEDEF FNMLOG2 DISK FNMLOG2 LOG A4

c.To process the log the FNMLOG1 or FNMLOG2 was copied to

a file with a FILEMODE of A1 which was then used as the

input for MXG. The FILEDEF for the input file was also

specified with FILEMODE A1.

d.VMACSMF was copied and modified to create a new macro

named _SMF, which is a copy of the _SMF macro, but which

deleted the VBS and LRECL options on the INFILE statement

in the modified copy.

Thanks to W. C. Cronje, Anglo American Corporation, SOUTH AFRICA.


Change 08.037 VM/370 variable MN000PPC can be zero if preferred paging

VMACVMON is to expanded storage, causing a divide by zero error

Apr 23, 1990 in calculation of DRUMUTIL variable in line 116600. That

calculation is now precedeed by IF MN000PPC GT 0 THEN.

Format MGVM6TY has new value 2420X='2420:3380' added.

Thanks to Gary Zolweg, National Semiconductor, USA.


Change 08.036 Variable CREATIME in dataset MONITASK has date of END if

TYPEMONI a transaction spans midnight. Logic to correct date was

Apr 23, 1990 perturbed by Change 7.171. To correct, change line 00503

to read IF CREATIME LE TIMEPART(ENDTIME) THEN instead of

IF CREATIME LE ENDTIME THEN.

Thanks to Steve Cavill, SAS Institute, AUSTRALIA.


Change 08.035 This one is obscure. CICS type 110 records with a error

VMAC110 are usually detected by MXG and STOPOVER prevented, but

Apr 18, 1990 if the invalid segment happens to be the last segment in

a type 110 record, a STOPOVER can still result, because

line 032200 (CONNBYTE+DRLENNUM GT BYTELEFT AND ...)

should be CONNBYTE+DRLENNUM GT BYTELEFT-38 AND ...).

Thanks to Earl Ryan, Life Insurance Company of Georgia, USA.
Change 08.034 IBM documented SMF6XFNC values of S and U for type 65

VMAC6156 and R for type 66, but S and U have been found in SMF

Apr 17, 1990 type 66. Now, MXG tests for R, S, or U for either type

in creating MXG variable FUNCTION.

Thanks to John Mattson, National Medical Enterprises, USA.
Change 08.033 MXG Tape mount monitor variables DEVFROM and DEVTO were

VMACTMNT not formatted to HEX4. (add them in line 004600), and

Apr 12, 1990 DEVNR should be removed from line 020000.

Thanks to Glenn Thompson, Comalco, AUSTRALIA.


Change 08.032 VTOC processing variable RECFM should have been $4. in

VMXGVTOC line 032000 (instead of $3.), although it is unlikely

Apr 12, 1990 to ever see a non-blank in the fourth position.

Thanks to Wyman Young, BHP, AUSTRALIA.


Change 08.031 DB2 Lock Detail report PMLOK03 fails with a 170 format

ANALDB2R conflict error, because variable ELAPSED was previously

Apr 12, 1990 defined as a numeric variable. In three lines within the

PMLOK03 macro, lines 073560, 073570 and 073780, change

the variable name ELAPSED to LOCKTMCH.

Thanks to Dennis Longnecker, Wash. Office Admin for Courts, USA


Change 08.030 DB2 reporting from GTF (instead of SMF or PDB) failed,

ANALDB2R with "GTF is not a SAS library" error. We had failed to

Apr 11, 1990 test the GTF option in MXG 7.7. The correction is to

change line 002670 from

%IF &&PDB&I = SMF %THEN ....

to read


%IF &&PDB&I = SMF OR &&PDB&I = GTF %THEN ....

Thanks to Cindy Schinker, AgriData, USA.


Change 08.029 TSO SPF EDIT subcommand COPY should NOT be used to copy

TSO-SPF an MXG member into your USERID.SOURCLIB library from the

Apr 10, 1990 MXG.SOURCLIB, because the COPY subcommand of EDIT will

renumber the lines! Always use SPF COPY Command (3.3)

to copy members without renumbering, so that numbering

will be preserved. (It's not clear when this began to

happen, nor whether its an IBM design change or an error;

if you know more on the subject, let me know!)


Change 08.028 ROSCOE Audit records were not being output in ROSCOAUD.

VMACROSC Because there is no ROSCOE version identifier in their

Apr 10, 1990 record, an ad hoc test (TIME = . ) used to detect earlier

versions now prevents testing for audit records. In line

073500, replace the (TIME = . OR ROSREC = '30'X) with

(ROSREC='F0'X OR ROSREC='30'X OR 'A0'X LE ROSREC LE 'AB'X)

to process those record subtypes. In addition, variables

ACCTCODE FORMKEY and USERID were added to ROSCOAUD keep.

Thanks to Tom Braswell, Dow Jones & Company Corporate DP, USA.
Change 08.027 TYPE6156 processing can cause STOPOVER because cell '02'X

VMAC6156 record was incorrectly decoded. Correction:

Apr 10, 1990 Delete line 015700 (was ICFPSWRD $CHAR32.)

Change line 016800 from LENTHIS-87 to LENTHIS-55

Remove ICFPSWRD= from line 017200.

Thanks to Brian Kaczkowski, AgriData, USA.

Change 08.026 PDB.JOBS variables JINLTIME and JRSTTIME were up to four

BUILDPDB minutes (about 255 seconds!) earlier than JSTRTIME! This

BUILDPD3 truncation occurs when a DATETIME variable is stored in a

TYPEDOS length 4 variable. Because MXG's default numeric length

UTILXRF2 is 4, all DATETIME variables must be explicitly named in

VMACARB a LENGTH 8 statement, and MXG's QA test member UTILXRF2

VMACROSC is supposed to detect occurrences of DATETIME variables

VMACTMVS with length other than 8. Why did this slip thru QA? Due

VMACVMON to a logic error in UTILXRF2, only DATETIME variables in

VMACX37 more than one MXG-built dataset were tested for length 8!

VMAC102 1.Fixing that error uncovered additional DATETIME variables

VMAC24 that have now been explicitly set to length eight:

VMAC60

VMAC6156 Member Line Number Dataset Variable(s)



VMXGVTOC VMACTMVS 073000 TMVSJIST JISTSTOP,JISTSTRT

Apr 17, 1990 VMAC24 006500 TYPE24 OFLDTIME

BUILDPDB 044100 PDB.JOBS JINLTIME,JRSTTIME

BUILDPD3 044500 PDB.JOBS JINLTIME,JRSTTIME

VMAC102 411100 T102S100 QW0100SA,QW0100SB

VMACROSC 070100 ROSCOHU ROSTERM

VMACVMON 213910 VMONSUSP TODSTIME
2.An unrelated additional QA test was added by this change,

to detect character variables with a $MG.... format that

are also length 8. This causes no error but wastes seven

bytes, and results when the formatted variable was not in

a LENGTH $1 statement. This new test identified these

variables which needed a LENGTH statement:


Member Line Number Dataset Variable(s)

VMAC60 009700 TYPE60 ENTTYPID

VMAC6156 004300 TYPE6156 ENTTYPID
3.The QA CROSSREF output also showed that several members

did not contain LENGTH DEFAULT=4 statements, causing

numberic variables to be 8 bytes instead of only four.

DEFAULT=4 was added in VMACARB, TYPEDOS, and VMACX37,

and SMFTIME READTIME JINTTIME 8 was added in VMACX37.

In VMXGVTOC, VOLUME $6 was added to the LENGTH statement

(VOLUME is returned by SAS's VTOC option as a 30-byte

variable, which caused VOLSER to also be thirty bytes!)

Thanks to Elliot Weitzman, Oryx Energy Company, USA.
Change 08.025 MXG testing step TESTIBM has abended at two sites that

JCLTEST have used IMACKEEP to modify the default KEEP list. There

Apr 10, 1990 is no problem with their normal BUILDPDB, etc., but it

appears there is another SAS 5.18 internal limit that is

encountered. One set of symptoms are ERROR: WORK.DIRMACR

REQUIRES MORE SPACE ... with either THE LIBRARY IS IN 16

EXTENTS or THE LIBRARY IS IN nn EXTENTS, AND NO MORE

SPACE IS AVAILABLE ON VOLUME. Other failures show up as

a DATA SET NOT FOUND when the PROC MEANS or PROC PRINT is

invoked, and the SAS LOG shows the program simply stopped

building datasets, with no error. Increasing WORK space

does not correct the problem. (While not documented in

the JCLTEST member, the default JCLTEST requires a max

of 12 cylinders work space for any step with MXG 8.2).

Nor did REGION size have any effect. When the abend is

DASD space related, the SAS message usually indicates

DATA SET WORK.DIRMACR WAS AT OBSERVATION 16744450!
I think this problem is due to re-definition of old style

macros due to the repetitive include of IMACKEEP in this

test jobstep, which exhausts some internal limit for old

style SAS macro re-definitions. But since the error is

circumventable (run JCLTEST without the sites' modified

IMACKEEP), since the error hopefully does not exist in

SAS 6.06, and since I haven't taken the time to create

a repeatable test for SAS Institute to use to detect and

fix their problem, it is left with this documentation

note, until time or more errors cause further study!

Change 08.024 STOPX37 product SMF record had minor corrections to the

VMACX37 SELECTBK and ACTIONBK variables (changed from $CHAR10.

Mar 27, 1990 $CHAR8.) and MESSAGE variable (changed from @509 $CHAR144

to @513 $CHAR140.), but no loss of data had occurred.


Change 08.023 Lengths of five character variables were truncated due to

ASUMCICS incorrect initialization in this summary member for Trend

Mar 27, 1990 Data Base. Variables OPERATOR,TERMINAL,TRANNAME,TRANSACT

must be four instead of three bytes, and variables SYSID

and APPLID must be eight instead of three bytes in their

initial statements (where now set equal to 'MXG').

Thanks to Mike Hoevenaars, Toyota, CANADA.
Change 08.022 Fixes that should have been in MXG 7.7, but were not.

EXTY39EL 1.VMAC37 needed new formats $MG037FE, $MG037FI, $MG037FU

FORMATS for variables BRL/BRRFEAER, BRL/BRRFEAIN, BRL/BRRCTRC,

VMAC37 which also were added to the LENGTH statement with $1.

VMAC39 LABEL for BRLTYPE should be LOCAL instead of REMOTE, and

Mar 27, 1990 variables were added to the KEEP list: BRRTYPE, BRLTYPE,

BRLMODEL, and BRRMODEL.

2.VMAC39 needed ZDATE added to all KEEP lists, and the

existing-but-never-referenced EXTY39EL member for the

TYPE39EL (route elements) data set is now referenced.

Because TYPE39EL can get large, and because no one has

said they actually use the TYPE39EL dataset, the EXTY39EL

exit now DEFAULTS to create NO observations TYPE39EL.

Thanks to Bruce Widlund, Texas Utilities, USA.

Thanks to Doug Drain, National City Bank, USA.
Change 08.021 ANALDB2R DB2 report in MXG 7.7 was not tested with PDBs

ANALDB2R created by MXG 6.6, causing uninitialized variable error

VMXGSUM messages. MXG uses SAS's NOVNFERR (No Error when Variable

Mar 27, 1990 Not Found) but when the variable is in a BY statement or

Apr 10, 1990 a PROC MEANS control statement, NOVNFERR does not prevent

Apr 15, 1990 the error condition. The usual fix would add a statement

(IF x=. THEN x=.;) for each variable which might not be

in the input dataset (which fakes out the SAS compiler

by creating a variable if it does not exist). ANALDB2R

was changed (but when it was realized that these "fakes"

already existed in the OUTCODE macro argument, and that

MOVEing the lines from OUTCODE to INCODE would avoid any

retyping (with its high exposure to typing error), and

was more robust. The first three reports worked fine. But

the DB2 Accounting Detail report added 150 OUTCODE lines

to the existing 380 INCODE lines, and SAS died with the

"Excessive Parameter Length" Error, because 380 lines do

fit in MWORK=28K, but 380+150 lines break the maximum!
