I saw this on the IBM Web site:

The document is here:
http://www-01.ibm.com/common/ssi/rep_ca/2/897/ENUS209-242/ENUS209-242.PDF

I've done many things with SPF and ISPF stats which haven't changed
much in 30 years (I started in 1978).

I'd like to know the format of these new stats and need to know where I can
find a description - can you help me ?

Thank you !

It doesn't say: Is it downward compatible? IOW, if I select
extended stats and update on 1.11, what will I see if I display
a member list on an earlier release?

Have they learned to save the timestamps in UTC yet?

Now UTC timestamps would be nice and convenient... If you live in the
UK...

If this is done, I would still prefer a default local time option. CICS
does some of that stuff under the covers and in dumps the IPCS Verbexit does
not adjust for local time... Kind of a pain because you forget sometimes
and miss an association...

Actually, I understand the implication of UTC for time change and other
things and was trying to be funny, but a local time display option is
mandatory.

Gilbert,

The format for the extended member statistics is described here:

http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/zos/v1r11/topic/com.ibm.zos.r11.f54dg00/ispzdg80124.htm#wq624

Member ISPDSTAT in ISP.SISPMACS has also been updated to reflect the
changes for extended statistics.


Regards,
Peter Van Dyke

Gilbert,

Thanks to Peter's help, I have made the change to the PDS command (
http://www.cbttape.org/ftp/updates/CBT182.zip) for extended ISPF
statistics. Also, Greg Price has updated the OFFLOAD/PDSLOAD programs on
the CBT.

Email me direct for the particulars.

Regards,
John K

There is a PDS command LAB at SHARE in Seattle, sponsored by the MVS
Core Technologies Project. Will this enhancement add anything
interesting to it?
