Rexx SDSF DA info for jname

Hi

I’m monitoring a number of jobs I use the ISFEXEC ST ( status ) command to get the initial status
When a job goes from waitting execution to executing determined by the phasename column or stem variable

I do the following
ISFFILTER = “ jname = “ || jname.i || “ “
ISFCOLS = ‘ asidx excp cpu real ‘
To get the execution statistics
I then do
ADDRESS SDSF
“ISFEXEC DA “

Sometimes there are datasets that are migrated so I do
If ( asidx.0 > 0) to insure it started executing
Then do
ASD = asidx.1 /* as I know there is only one jobname as such */
Ex = excp.1
Cpu# = cpu.1
Realstor = real.1
End

However after the first job submitted I seem to be picking up the wrong asid and assumed the other variables are erroneous as well

Anyone can point out the flaw in my logic would appreciate it

Thanks

Add job number (jobid) to your selection criteria to ensure you find the
proper job.

I thought about that but you know what that would kill my stem variables for ISFEXEC ST

For instance if I stance of my tsoid is joer
And I have let’s say 10 jobs joer0001 - joer0010 if the second one phasename says executing placing jname in the ISFCOLS for ISFEXEC DA would kill the jname stem variables for ST
Only thing I guess I can do is be aware of which jname.x I am executing re-issue ISFEXEC ST and continue processing from where I left off

Why not monitoring all jobs from the status screen? Are you looking for
performance data at run time? If not, keep monitoring the job from the
status screen sorted by queue.

The only thing I’m really looking for is excp’s

Anytime I see a job actually executing I have to reissue ISFEXEC DA

Thanks

Did you look at John McKown's JES2DISK to see how he did things?

If you are at the correct level of z/OS

And have SDSF

SDSF Has a tutorial and I think Wizard on how to build SDSF Rexx.

Classification: Public

You can use

ISFEXEC DA <stuff> (PREFIX DA_

to have the variables assigned from the DA panel to variables prefixed with 'DA_'; that should avoid the clash.

What I have noticed is when using stem variable jname or jobid in ISFEXEC ST and in order to get execution statistics issue ISFEXEC DA and with a filter of let’s say jobid
Where I expect to get only only 1 variable returned
When I then want to return to ISFEXEC ST processing and reissue ISFEXEC ST the jname stem variable is not necessarily in the same order
In John Mckown Rexx SDSF that lizette
Suggested I I look at I saw a (Delayed) parameter appended will look into that
