========================================================================
II. SAS Version requirement information:
SAS Versions
The current version nomenclature is SAS 9.4 TS1M8 (9.4M8),
"M8", or with options VERSIONLONG;
"SAS 9.4 (9.04.01M8P080520)" on z/OS
9.4 (TS04.01M8P08052020)" on ASCII.
SAS V9.4 M8 is RECOMMENDED, but MXG executes without error
using SAS Version 9.4 M0-M2 or M4-M6 or SAS Version 9.3 M0-M2.
SAS V9.4 M5 is REQUIRED with z/OS 2.3 with Eight-Byte USERIDs
for Interactive TSO (DMS) SAS Sessions. SAS Note 61339.
Only on z/OS, SAS 9.4 "M5" requires MXG 35.36+ because it adds the
NOERRORSTOP option to protect all MXG PROC SQLs from the M5 defect
described in SAS Note 61672. But SAS apparently does not plan for
a defect correction since the MXG Circumvention solves for MXG and
the text of 61672 simply describes the circumvention needed because
MXG's use of OPTIONS OBS=0 without NOERRORSTOP exposed the defect.
See Change 35.309 for more details on using NOERRORSTOP for your
own PROC SQLs.
SAS V9.4 M3 is NOT RECOMMENDED. See Change 36.128 SAS Note 61906
that reports 40% Increase in CPU time with M3.
SAS V9.4 (ALL) and SAS V9.3 (ALL) are at LEVEL A SAS Support.
SAS V9.3 SAS 9.3 TS1M2 was RECOMMENDED. SAS 9.3 TS1M1 works ok.
But SAS 9.3 at TS1M0, the HOT FIX for SAS Note SN-43828,
see CHANGE 29.169, IS REQUIRED:
The %MACRO compiler error is in processing %LET
statements. While only two MXG members failed
repeatedly in MXG QA tests on z/OS, there were random
%LET errors in ASCII QA tests, so ANY use of %LET
statement on ANY platform are vulnerable to this
error, as the %MACRO compiler is SAS portable code,
used on all platforms. So this is NOT just an MXG
error, but impacts ALL SAS programs.
SAS9.3 is LEVEL A support from SAS.
SAS V9.2 Was recommended, prior to 9.3, and was error-free with
MXG 26.03 SAS Hot Fix for SAS Note 37166 is required to
use a VIEW with the MXG EXITCICS/CICSFIUE CICS/DB2
Decompression Infile Exit. but SAS V9.2 does execute on
that platform.
9.2 is LEVEL B Support from SAS, as of Sep 30, 2013.
SAS V9.1.3 causes JCLTEST9/TESSOTHR to ABEND, TOO MANY ARGUMENTS
FOR COUNTW() requires SAS Version 9.2 so 9.1.3 can NOT
safely be used for MXG. See CHANGE 41.046, Jun 21, 2023.
SAS V9.1.3 on z/OS 1.10 requires SAS Hot Fix for SN-35332 and is at
Support level C by SAS Institute, Sep 30, 2013.
SAS V9.1.3 is NOT supported by SAS on Windows SEVEN.
SAS V8.2 SUPPORT LEVEL C BY SAS INSTITUTE; NOT ALL OF MXG WORKS!
with SAS 8.2.
SAS 8.2 is Level C Support from SAS as of Dec 31, 2011.
JCL in MXGSAS94 or MXGSAS93 can be used, or MXGNAMES can be used
***************************************************************
As documented in Change 27.356, for SAS V9.2 or later):
The standard SAS JCL Procedure can be used for MXG with SAS V9.2+
// EXEC SAS,CONFIG='MXG.SOURCLIB(CONFIMXG)'
//MXGNAMES DSN=MXG.USERID.SOURCLIB(MXGNAMES),DISP=SHR
But CONFIMXG is required for sites with NLS issues, and you must
use JCLCONFI to create/update the MXG.FORMATS catalog if you use
CONFIG='MXG.SOURCLIB(CONFIMXG)'.
For no NLS, you can use the MXGSAS94 JCL Procedure example.
***************************************************************
MXG 26.03 thru MXG 41.04 will execute under the previously listed
SAS Versions on all supported platforms
Unrelated to the above SAS Note/Hot Fix, ODS users will want to
use MXG 29.06+, because SAS V9.3 did expose incompatibilities in
MXG code for ODS reporting, that were fixed in MXG Version 29.06.
See Changes 29.159 and 29.169.
And, only for z/OS 1.10 with SAS V9.1.3 with ANY version of MXG,
the SAS Hot Fix for SN-35332 is REQUIRED (to be completely safe).
Without this Hot Fix, "LIBREF XXXXXXXX IS NOT ASSIGNED" errors
can occur even though //XXXXXXXX DD is a valid SAS Data Library.
This error ONLY occurs with z/OS 1.10 and SAS V9.1.3; it does
NOT occur with SAS V9.2, nor with z/OS 1.9. It can be
circumvented by adding a LIBNAME statement that specifies the
ENGINE name. See the Technical Note in Newsletters for SN-35332.
Note that SAS V9.1.3 is now at "Level B" Support from SAS.
Old MXG code may continue to execute with SAS V8.2, but V8 is now
"Level C" support from SAS Institute, and there are known errors
in V8.2 that are only fixed in SAS V9. I no longer QA with V8.2;
While many MXG programs (accidentally) will still execute under
V8.2, I cannot guarantee that all of MXG executes error free.
PLEASE INSTALL V9.2/V9.3/V9.4, TO AVOID FIXED PROBLEMS!
If you are absolutely stuck on V8, you need to copy MXG member
V8GETOBS into USERID.SOURCLIB and rename to VGETOBS.
MXG Software has not executed under SAS V6 in many years.
The "PDB" libraries (i.e., SAS data libraries) must be created by
SAS V8 or later, but any of those data libraries can be read or
updated by the SAS Versions that MXG Supports, above.
For SAS Version V9.3:
SAS 93 TS1M1 is RECOMMENDED; for TS1M0, SAS Hot Fix in SAS Note
SN43828 is REQUIRED. See text of Change 29.159.
With SAS 93 TS1M1, (or TS1M0 with that Hot Fix) MXG Versions
26.03 or later execute under SAS V9.3 on all platforms.
SAS Data Libraries created by SAS V8.2, V9.1.3, V9.2, V9.3 and
SAS V9.4 are interchangeable and can be read/written by any of
those versions, provided they are on the same platform.
BUT: on ASCII, the 32-bit and 64-bit SAS versions are NOT the
same "platform" and attempting to read/use the FORMAT catalog
created on one of those "platforms" on the other "platform"
will error out to remind you of that difference!
SAS V9.4 did change some V9.3 ODS processing defaults and syntax
that might cause errors with MXG 29.05 or earlier; MXG 29.06,
Change 29.160 documents the major revisions made in MXG to fully
support ODS, and MXG 29.06 is STRONGLY recommended for ODS with
SAS V9.3 or SAS V9.4.
For (Archaic) SAS Version V9.2 (TS1M0):
Big Picture: SAS Version V9.2 is COMPATIBLE with MXG Software.
On z/OS, SAS changed the DSNAMES for some of the SAS libraries,
so you do need to use the new MXGSAS92 JCL Procedure for MXG,
but it still uses the CONFIGV9 configuration file.
****************************************************************
However, NEW, and documented in Change 27.356, with SAS V9.2+:
The standard SAS JCL Procedure can be used for MXG:
// EXEC SAS,CONFIG='MXG.SOURCLIB(CONFIMXG)'
//MXGNAMES DD DSN=MXG.USERID.SOURCLIB(MXGNAMES),DISP=SHR
instead of using the MXGSAS92 JCL Procedure example.
****************************************************************
SAS Data Libraries are compatible for V8.2, V9.1.3, V9.2, V9.3,
and V9.4. "PDBs" can be read/written interchangeably between
these SAS versions.
MXG Versions 26.03+ do execute with SAS V9.2 with NO WARNINGS
and with NO ERRORS reported.
Pre-MXG 26.03, SAS Hot Fix F9BA07 was required to suppress a
new SAS V9.2 WARNING, that on z/OS, set CC=4 (condition/return
code). That warning is harmless (to MXG code) and all MXG
created SAS datasets were correct, even with that warning.
The ONLY exposure was ONLY on z/OS, and ONLY if condition code
tests are used in your MXG jobstreams.
SAS Version 9.2 requires z/OS 1.7 or later, both officially as
documented by SAS Institute, and actually as V9.2 fails with 0C4
under z/OS 1.4.
For SAS V9.1.3 on z/OS with Service Pack 4:
On z/OS 1.10, Hot Fix SN-35332 is REQUIRED.
CONFIGV9 now specifies V9SEQ instead of V6SEQ. As V6SEQ does
not support long length character variables, it can't be used.
SAS V9.1.3 with current Service Pack 4 was STRONGLY RECOMMENDED.
For (back-level!) SAS V9.1 or V9.1.2 on z/OS:
SN-013514 is REQUIRED to be able to read datasets that were
created by V6SEQ (tape) engine.
SN-012437 is REQUIRED to prevent creation of corrupt/unreadable
datasets with tape engines V7SEQ, V8SEQ, or V9SEQ.
Both fixes ARE included in SAS V9.1.3, but V9.1 or 9.1.2 is NOT
SAFE without those two hot fixes, and if you do NOT have those
two fixes on 9.1 or 9.1.2, you MUST set V6SEQ in CONFIGV9.
With MXG 23.02 or later, V9SEQ is the default sequential engine
specified in CONFIGV9, but if you are back at SAS V9.1 or V9.1.2
you MUST install the two hot fixes listed above.
For SAS Version 8.2, HotFix Bundle 82BX08 (or later) was required
as an absolute minimum level when that SAS Version was last
supported by MXG Software. PLEASE INSTALL SAS V9.x ASAP.
Sequential Engine Status:
V9SEQ was fixed in V9.1.3; it has been default in CONFIGV9.
V8SEQ was always safe under SAS V8.2, but it wasted CPU time
by always compressing when writing in tape format.
V6SEQ, if used under V9.1.2, requires SN-013514, but V6SEQ
should no longer be used, as it does not support long
length variables.
GENERAL STATEMENT FOR MXG QA TESTS AND SAS VERSIONS:
MXG QA tests are executed with V9.4, on z/OS, on Windows TEN and
Linux on 64-bit hardware, but MXG users execute MXG on MANY
(ALL??) SAS platforms, including AIX, Linux, and other 'nix'
variants, on many different hardware platforms, and since they all
work we don't need to list them. If SAS executes so does MXG.
Prior QA tests have been run with all SAS releases available at
that time on Linux RH8 on Intel, on Solaris v2.8 on a Model V880,
and on HP-UX v11.11 model rp5470, confirming full compatibility.
MXG should execute under ALL SUPPORTED SAS VERSIONS on EVERY SAS
platform without errors! Each new MXG version is also tested with
the SAS ITSV/ITRM product by the ITRM developers.
III. WPS Version requirement information:
WPS Version 4.04 (04.04.01.00.005305 has been tested.
DO NOT USE 4.03.01 nor 4.04.00, INVALID CPU BUSY in TYPE70.
Error was introduced in 4.03.01 and 4.04.00. See Change 39.171.
Must be at 4.03.02.00.8569+ or 4.04.00.03.3277+/
WPS Version 4.01 USER 4037 ABEND, See Change 37.116.
WPS Version 4.0 reportedly fixed version 3 problems.
WPS Version 3.02 (03.02.03.00.016221) is required Change 34.266.
and other errors with 3.00 or 3.01 have been corrected in the
current WPS version.
WPS Version 3.01.1 maintenance level 731 required for PDB to tape
WPS Version 3.01 (also shows 3.1.1) is required for AUTOEZOS.
WPS Version 3.01 is required for MOBILWRK, PICTURE fails in 2.5.
WPS Version 3.01 executed MXG 32.03 BUILDPDB with no errors.
WPS Version 3.0 requires MXG 31.09 (see Change 31.251).
WPS Version 2.4 required MXG 27.09 (see Change 27.239).
WPS Version 2.3.5 required MXG 27.05.
See NEWSLETTERS for WPS Support Statement.
WPS prints this message ERROR: COULD NOT CREATE DATA SET "PDB.ID"
when the LIBNAME PDB does not exist; there would also have been a
prior log message NOTE: Library PDB does not exist as the clue.
IV. MXG Version Required for Hardware, Operating System Release, etc.
MXG is usually NOT sensitive to z/OS Hardware changes, but:
-Support for z16 processor data.
SMF: Only SMF 113 records were incompatibly changed, but there is no
execution error as only counter labels and values were changed,
causing coefficients for the calculated variables (RMI,etc) to
also be changed and default coefficients are changed to z16,
You should use separate SAS steps for each processor type; MXG
will OUTPUT only the processor type you requested in //SYSIN,
and will skip other processor type records, so you do NOT need
to pre-process SMF records to select processor type. You will
want to rename one pair of datasets if you want to put them in
the same PDB Data Library.
For z/15 you would use
//SYSIN DD *
%LET MACKEEP= MACRO _XLA113 _XLA11F %
%INCLUDE SOURCLIB(TYPS113,ASUM113);
and for z/16 you would use
//SYSIN DD *
%LET MACKEEP= MACRO _XLA113 _XLA11G %
%INCLUDE SOURCLIB(TYPS113,ASUM113);
to get correct values in TYPE1131 and ASUM1131 datasets.
MXG Support for z/16 for SMF 113 requires 40.05 for z/OS and
40.03 for zVM.
MXG 40.01 will ABEND due to a TYPE30 error exposed by the z16.
Change line 1812 in VMAC30 from 192 to 220 or ask support for
the current VMAC30 member with Change 40.050.
Many other SMF and Data Gatherer records were updated in 40.04.
RMF ASMRMFV processes RMF III data with no errors, Change 40.068
added some new fields. New DNG3 table support was in 40.05.
-Support for z15 processor data.
The z15 and z15 T02 processors INCOMPATIBLY changed the SMF 113
records by inserting 32 new EXTEND and 4 CRYPTO counters, causing
ARRAY SIZE EXCEEDED with BUILDPDB which processes the SMF 113s.
Support for counter changes for both models was in MXG 37.08.
If you use MIPS in reports, the format $MGRMIPS provides the
MIPS/MSU value for each processor; the z15 values were updated
in MXG 37.08, and the z15 TO2 values were updated in MXG 38.04.
These MXG programs use $MGRMIPS: ASUMMIPS GRAFCEC GRAFWLM
GRAFWRKX and TYPERMFV (RMF III).
The z/14 also inserted SMF 113 fields, supported in MXG 36.07.
The z/13 with 61+ LPARs requires MXG 32.05 IF NON-SMT MODE.
The z/EC12 with 85+ engines required MXG 30.07.
Support for 255 engines was added in MXG 31.04.
And z/VM on the z15 requires MXG 38.02, PRCMFC/MFM COUNTERS caused
HARDWARE COUNTER messages, PRCMFC/PRCMFM no obs. Change 38.048.
The z13 processor INCOMPATIBLY CHANGED, the new SMT-MODE RMF 70, and
MXG 34.03 was REQUIRED (PCTCPUBY WRONG!), to read the SMT-format RMF
(which are written if you have zIIP engines AND have enabled the new
PROCVIEW CORE option for Multi-Threading, even if only one thread is
enabled).
SMF Back Levels: MXG 37.08 or later is required for both z15 & z16
SMF 113 change, but those back level versions could fail due
to other records changed by subsystem updates you made for the
z16 (e.g.CICS TS/6.1 which requires MXG 40.02) that didn't
exist when that back=level was created..
The new zEDC/EADM compression hardware requires MXG 38.05 to support
new metrics.

Note: Asterisk by the version number means the Version number
was changed (to the MXG version required), after an earlier
MXG version was listed as supporting this product release,
usually because an APAR modified the product's data records.
Or a coding error in MXG could be the reason for the change!

V. Incompatibilities and Installation of MXG 41.04.
1. Incompatibilities introduced in MXG 41.05:
a. Changes in MXG architecture made between 41.05 and prior versions
that can introduce known incompatibilities.
IF YOU HAVE MEMBER E2TY70 IN YOUR USERID.TAILORING SOURCE LIBRARY,
YOU MUST CHANGE _LTY70 to _WTY70 in that member. CHANGE 38.105.
The error before this correction will be:
ERROR: DATA SET "PDB.TYPE70" was not specified on the DATA stmt.
2. Installation and re-installation procedures are described in detail
in member INSTALL (which also lists common Error/Warning messages a
new user might encounter), and sample JCL is in member JCLINSTT for
SAS Version 9.
MXG Definitions with regard to MXG Software Changes:
COMPATIBLE A change in a data record which did not alter either
COMPAT the location or the format of all of the previously-
kept MXG variables is COMPATIBLE, and you can continue
to run the old version of MXG software, which will read
the new records without error, but none of any new data
fields or any new record subtypes will be created/kept
until you install the MXG Version with this change.
INCOMPAT A change in a data record that causes the current MXG
version to fail, visibly or invisibly, with or without
error conditions or messages, and the output datasets
may contain wrong values and incomplete observations,
and/or observations may have been lost.
You MUST install the new MXG Version with this change
to process data records that have been INCOMPATIBLY
changed by their vendor.
TOLERATE In other words, the old MXG Version TOLERATES the new
data records, if they are COMPATIBLY changed.
EXPLOIT Once you use the new MXG Version to read the changed
records, all of the new fields, subtypes, etc, that are
described in this change will be created in the MXG
datasets, so the new MXG Version EXPLOITS the new data,
and you have full support of the new data records.
An MXG Version never "expires" nor "goes out of Support". When
you put in a new product/subsystem/Release/APAR that incompatibly
changed its records then you must install the current MXG Version
or at least be using the minimum level of MXG that is currently
documented in the preceding list in section IV.
COSMETIC Some Changes will start with COSMETIC. This indicates
that that change only alters a displayed value or may
be a spelling error in a label, but it is "cosmetic"
in that it ONLY affected the display, and the output
data sets created are NOT impacted by this change.
VI. Online Documentation of MXG Software.
MXG Documentation is now described in member DOCUMENT.
See also member INDEX, but it may be overwhelming.
VII. Changes Log
--------------------------Changes Log---------------------------------
You MUST read each Change description to determine if a Change will
impact your site. All changes have been made in this MXG Library.
Member CHANGES always identifies the actual version and release of
MXG Software that is contained in that library.
The CHANGES selection on our homepage at http://www.MXG.com
is always the most current information on MXG Software status,
and is frequently updated.
Important changes are also posted to the MXG-L ListServer, which is
also described by a selection on the homepage. Please subscribe.
The actual code implementation of some changes in MXG SOURCLIB may be
different than described in the change text (which might have printed
only the critical part of the correction that need be made by users).
Scan each source member named in any impacting change for any comments
at the beginning of the member for additional documentation, since the
documentation of new datasets, variables, validation status, and notes,
are often found in comments in the source members.

NEXTCHANGE:
====== CHANGES THRU 41.108 ARE IN MXG 41.05 DATED Nov 16, 2023 =========
Change 41.108 Variable SV36MED was incorrectly input as numeric but
VMACSARR changing it to character would expose compatibility
Nov 15, 2023 issues, so now SV30MED is INPUT and kept in SARRU36.
Thanks to Steven W. Erkkila, USBANK, USA.
Change 41.107 Dataset ASUMCELP adds variables ICFMSU IFAMSU IFLMSU
VMXG70PR ZIPMSU and ZIPMSUHR to ASUMCELP with MSU totals for
Nov 14, 2023 each CPU Type.
Thanks to Scott Barry, SBBTechLLC, USA.
Change 41.106 UCICSCNT utility INPUT STATEMENT EXCEEDED for MNSEGCL=5
UCICSCNT SUBTYPE=1 Resource Record, URIMAP and WEBSVC were not
Nov 14, 2023 decoded causing misalignment, and MXGDECOM code to
decompress SMF 110 records was not in this old utility.
Thanks to Raymond J Smith, OPTUM, USA.
Change 41.105 New parameter SORTBYADDS lets you add variables to the
ANALCEC by list.
Nov 6, 2023
Change 41.104 Option STOPOVER added to INFILE statements so bad record
VMXGHSM will be identified; without STOPOVER option SAS reports
Nov 6, 2023 LOST CARD that doesn't identify the problem record.
Change 41.103 If you changed times for Daylight Savings on an active
VMXG70PR system, a PROC MEANS could fail creating GRCAPS3 due to
Nov 6, 2023 GMTOFFTM out of order. This change moves GMTOFFTM
to an ID statement.
Thanks to Gennady.Katsnelson, Kyndryl, USA.
Change 41.102 ASUMUOW merge of CICSTRAN and DB2ACCT could have many obs
VMACDB2H sent to SPINUOW because the CICSTRAN SMFTIME resolution is
Nov 2, 2023 .01 seconds and QWHSSTCK resolution is .000001 seconds and
the DELTAGMT included fractional seconds where the GMT
offset must be in whole seconds. Changing the DELTAGMT
derivation, using DELTAGMT=ROUND(SMFTIME-QWHSSTCK); gives
the correct whole seconds, also populating the blank value
in TRANNAME in PDB.ASUMUOW, and providing the correct DB2
event order with or without ASUMUOW.
Change 41.101 TYPE80xx Resource Name variables RESNAME, RESNAMEx and
VMAC80A RES25MEx were INPUT as $VARYING64 but they can be $245
Nov 3, 2023 so are now increased in TYPE8001/8009/8024/8025/8033
datasets..
Thanks to Bill Arrowsmith, Euroclear, BELGIUM
Thanks to Geoff Moverley, Euroclear, BELGIUM
Change 41.100 Dataset TYPE3804 reread the first segment because OFFTHREE
VMAC38 was not updated, and the _ETY3804 statement was not inside
Oct 30, 2023 the DO loop so many observations were not output.
Thanks to Stephen Hoar, Lloyds Banking, ENGLAND
Thanks to Mark Tomlinson, Lloyds Banking, ENGLAND
Change 41.099 Corrections to Hitachi Mainframe Analysis Recorder MAR SMF
VMACMAR Variables MARS3CSWO MARS3CRFO now kept in MARST03 dataset
Oct 25, 2023 Dataset MARST03 variables MARS3CSWO MARS3CRFO now kept.
Dataset MARST03 BY List added MARSSN.
-Dataset MARST05 byte variables were not converted from KB
-Dataset MARST05 time variables were incorrect informat and
not multiplied by 128.
Thanks to Jan Tielemans, KBC, BELGIUM
Change 41.098 Availability reporting can now be grouped on program name
ANALAVAI rather than job name to specify application groups.
Oct 24, 2023

Oct 23, 2023
Thanks to David Price, NatWest, ENGLAND.
Change 41.096 Support for AI Data Section which exists only for periods
EXTY99AI participating in WLM AI batch initiator management.
FORMATS Added in z/OS 3.1, creates new TYPE99AI dataset:

-AI-powered WLM batch initiator management augments WLM
with AI to optimize the management of IBM Z workloads.
These iteratively delivered capabilities will allow z/OS
to intelligently predict upcoming batch workload and
react by allocating an appropriate number of initiators.
This is designed to optimize system resources and batch
management, thus eliminating overhead from manual fine-
tuning and trial-and-error approaches. AI-powered WLM
batch management is the initialuse case leveraging the
AI Framework for IBM z/OS.
Change 41.095 CICSTRAN variable WBURISCN was incorrectly spelled as
UTILEXCL WBIRISCN, now corrected.
VMAC110
Oct 17, 2023
Thanks to Scott Barry, SBBTechLLC, USA.
Change 41.094 Support for z/OS Connect V3.0.74.0 adds two variables to
VMAC123A SM123MAJOR='CONNECT*FEATURE*MAJOR*VERSION'
Oct 16, 2023 SM123MINOR='CONNECT*FEATURE*MINOR*VERSION'
Change 41.093 Variable NAMENODE was input $24 but is $64, and this
VMACXAM caused variables LOCATION MAP and TCPRELEASE to be
Oct 12, 2023 misaligned in XMTCPSYS dataset.
Thanks to Douglas C. Walter, CITIGROUP, USA.
Change 41.092 Support for z/OS 3.1 SMF Manual changes (COMPATIBLE).
VMAC26J2 We and several customers have tested z/OS 3.1 records
VMAC30 with back levels of MXG with no reported errors.
VMAC7072 Change 41.096 added the new AI data in TYPE99 and
VMAC79 there were other APARs in 3.1, but we expect no issues.
Oct 26, 2023 -Dataset TYPE26J2 new variables:
SMF26UNL='SYS_HOLDUNTIL*DATETIME'
SMF26DNL='SYS_DEADLINE='DATETIME
SMF26JTK='SYS_JOBTOKEN*SIGNATURE'
SMF26JT1='LOCAL*JOB*SIGNATURE*ONE'
SMF26JT2='LOCAL*JOB*SIGNATURE*TWO'
SMF26TZO='GMT*OFFSET'
The GMT Offset is NOT exact, with values that follow the
SMFTIME, producing values of 09:29:59.28 .03 .05 .01
for South Australia which should be 9:30:00.00.
SMF26UNL and SMF26DNL haven't been tested with non=zero
and SMF26TSO is not added to them until validated.
-Dataset TYPE30_4 TYPE30_5 TYPE30_V new variables
SMF30JCLID1='LOCAL*JOB8SIGNATURE*ONE'
SMF30JCLID2='LOCAL*JOB8SIGNATURE*TWO'
SMF30JCLTOKEN='IDENTIFIER*FOR THE*JOB'
SMF30HOLDUNTIL'HOLDUNTIL*DATETIME'
SMF30DEADLINE='DEADLINE*DATETIME'
-The two changes for 26 and 30 were added by APAR OA64643.
-Dataset TYPE72GO new variable:
R723CPUCRIT='SERVICE*CLASS*IMPLICITLY*CPU CRITICAL'
Comment added for bit 7 R723MFLG WLMBATCH AI INFUSED
-Comment added for bit 7 for R791FLG3 in dataset TYPE791
and R792FLG3 in dataset TYPE792.
Change 41.091 Two JAVA memory options are found needed in z/OS CONFIGxx
ANALMSUS for graphs with ANALMSUS and may be needed for other uses
CONFIMXG of JAVA, even though REGION=0M was specified. JAVA
CONFIGxx required those min and max sizes to be at least 512m,
Oct 8, 2023 or the JAVA JVM failed to load.
JREOPTIONS=(
-Xmx512m
-Xms512m
-Dsun.java2d.fontpath=append:&SASHOME./
ReportFontsforClients/9.4
-With the above name for the FONTs directory, SAS messaged
that something in the fontpath was not a directory and
failed in the ODS and EXCELDEST statements. That error
was because the site had changed the SAS Default value of
NOCAPS to CAPS, which translates INPUT characters to
upper case. MXG hadn't previously had an issue with CAPS
so MXG does NOT force NOCAPS.
-However, the option NOCAPSOUT, SAS Default, z/OS only was
forced by Change 39.144 because ODS, USS, & Linux command
text in SASLOG messages needs to be printed in mixed case
so support can see the exact text that was used. That
change overlooked CONFIMXG, which is now corrected.
Thanks to Gene Pate, Hawaii Government, USA.
Change 41.090 TYPE99_6 dataset variables SERVER01-05 & SERVPN01-05 were
VMAC99 incorrect due to misalignment.
Oct 7, 2023
Thanks to Heimir Hauksson, Barclays, ENGLAND.
Change 41.089 Cosmetic. INVALID DATA FOR RMFSTART SMF 79 SUBTYPE 15 has
VMACSMF no impact other than that message and a hex dump of the
VMACSMFL SMF record and possibly 4000+ lines of a PUT _ALL_ even
Oct 4, 2023 when NOT processing type 79 subtype 15 records. The _SMF
macro decodes the SMF Header and many Product Headers
and it expected all RMF records have a Product segment,
but the RMF 79.15 is documented that it doesn't, and the
MXG logic in VMAC79 for the actual decode of the full
79.15 record knows there isn't one, skipping that INPUT.
Now, the _SMF Header logic also skips that INPUT.
Thanks to Brian Sanger, Barclays, ENGLAND.
Thanks to Lalit Patil, Barclays, ENGLAND.
Thanks to Heimir Hauksson, Barclays, ENGLAND
Thanks to IBM Support whose time I wasted as this was an MXG error.
Change 41.088 For CICS CMF 110 SUBTYPE=1 MNSEGCL=1 Dictionary Records,
ASMDICTS ASMDICTS is a USER2 EXIT to IBM's IFASMFDP or IFASMFDL
ADOCDICT "SMF DUMP" programs that selects only the Dictionary
JCLDICTS records, skipping the other 110 recordss.
Oct 3, 2023
Change 41.087 CICINTRV now supports a ONEMINUTE value for _CICINTV for
VMXGCICI one minute statistics interval in CICINTRV dataset.
Sep 22, 2023
Thanks to Naveed Jeddy, ATOS, INDIA.
====== CHANGES THRU 41.086 ARE IN MXG 41.04 DATED Sep 20, 2023 =========
Change 41.086 %VGETOBS sets these values for &VGETOBS macro variable:
VGETOBS If the dataset does not exist, VGETOBS=0
Sep 19, 2023 If the dataset does exist, on DISK, VGETOBS= obs count,
so VGETOBS=0 if zero or the actual count of obs.
If the dataset does exist, on TAPE, and has two+ obs,
VGETOBS=1.
If the dataset does exist, on TAPE, zero obs, VGETOBS-0.
Note that finding the size of a dataset on a tape data
library requires reading the full tape until SAS finds
the dataset of interest, so this change to find that a
tape data set actually has observations can increase the
elapsed runtime significantly, and we have no solution.
And this also applies if the access method is SEQ to
read a SEQ dataset on disk, i.e LIBNAME PDB V9SEQ;

Change 41.085 IBM confirms the Interval Duration in Subtype 6 and 7 of
TECHNOTE the TYPE 119 records can be either less than or greater
TYPE119 than the actual SMF Interval and they will not fix it.
Sep 19, 2023 The problem is that the STARTIME calculation depends on
the correct DURATM, and when the duration is less than,
the STARTIME is in a different 15 minute interval.
STARTIME=900*FLOOR((STARTIME+1)/900); WILL CORRECT.

Change 41.067 DB2H Header variables QWHCAID and QWHCOPID were increased
VMAC116 to $128 but VMAC116 also inputs both variables, but only
Aug 2, 2023 length $8. If DB2 and 116 are processed together and the
first reference is 116 - UTILBLDP(USERADD=116 DB2) - then
the DB2 variables were truncated. Both variables are now
set to $128 length in VMAC116 to protect the DB2 values.
Thanks to Harald Seifert, HUK-COBURG, GERMANY
Change 41.066 SMF 99 Subtype 9 INPUT STATEMENT EXCEEDED because the SMF
VMAC99 manual showed length of 5 for field at offset 91 in the
Jul 28, 2023 channel path data entry section but length is only one as
the next offset in the manual is 92. There was also an
INVALID DATA FOR S999CHNR because it's PIB.1. was missing
the second period, and the INPUT statement was missing
S999FLG1 AND S999FLGS, which are now added to the dataset
TYPE999I. The record also looks invalid as all fields
after S999FLGS are hex zeros.

UTILEXCL If CICS field 114 ABCODEC is EXCLUDEd but 113 ABCODEO is
Jul 26, 2023 not, IMACEXCL wasn't aligned and you will likely get
ERROR.VMAC110 CPUTM 10X LARGER THAN ELAPSED and the
value in MCTSSDRL in that message is 4 less than
COL-SEGSTART. Change 38.113 originally circumvented.
This change detects the EXCLUDEd ABCODEC and sets macro
variable MXGCICSABCODELN=4 to correct the MXG error.
By default, UTILEXCL creates variable ABCODE $EBCDIC8.
from the two 4-byte fields ABCODEO and ABCODEC 113/114,
but if only ABCODEO 113 exists, that INPUT statement
needed to be ABCODE $EBCDIC4.
Thanks to Paul Beesley, ATOS, UK.
Change 41.062 Modified to check the value of LRGLRECL and if gt 32760
UTILBLDP and you have asked for BUILDPDB with CICS DB2 or you are
Jul 22, 2023 using USERADD to read 110 or DB2 data without the CICS
INFILE exit on zOS LRGLRECL is set to 32760 with:
MXGNOTE: LRGLRECL MODIFIED FROM &LRGLRECL TO 32760;
If DB2 data is being processed issues %cleardb2 before
reading data.
Change 41.061 Previously, use of ENCODING=EBCDIC1047 could cause wrong
VMXGINIT values and ENCODING=OPEN_ED-1047 was required to resolve,
Jul 18, 2023 as was documented in Change 37.267, but that is no longer
true, the same values are created with either ENCODING.
This change removes the ERROR message for EBCDIC1047 and
only prints the ENCODING value when MXGDEBUG is enabled.
Change 41.060 SORTS added to correct ERROR: BY VARIABLES WORK.GETCPA,
ANALMSUS that only occurred when multiple CECs data was analyzed.
Jul 17, 2023
Thanks to Robert Hamilton, Fifth Third Bank, USA.
Change 41.059 Total lines added to reports 7 and 8 and new report 9
UTILRMFI added that compares control and report class CPU times.
Jul 13, 2023 If total line on report 9 does not match between control
and report classes you cannot use report class to define
workloads.
Change 41.058 Blank or missing values for QWHCxxxx variables in the DB2
VMAC102 T102Snnn trace datasets can be due to the absence of the
Jul 14, 2023 Correlation Header, which is optional:
The DB2 manual on "start trace", specifies:
If you omit the TDATA option, correlation headers and
distributed headers (if present) are included by
default. However, I changed my command from:
START TRACE(STAT) DEST(SMF) IFCID(412) CLASS(11)
To:
-START TRACE(STAT) DEST(SMF) IFCID(412) CLASS(11) TDATA(COR)
And I am getting the data I expect.

VMAC74 CNCONF and CNPINNED were displayed as MB but they are GB.
Jul 1, 2023 Originally documented in KB when R745SFT=1, now IBM sets
R745SFT=2 but the values are still in KB with either 1/2.
MXG now multiplies by 1024 for either value in R745SFT.
Thanks to Shivang Sharma, ENSONO, USA.
Change 41.053 Support for APAR OA62355 which adds new TYPE 30 Container
BUILD005 section, adding these variables to TYPE30_4 TYPE30_5

Change 41.052 BMC CMF, TYPE 74 SUBTYPE 9 INPUT STATEMENT EXCEEDED only
VMAC74 if a PCIE Function was CONFIGURED online or offline.
Jun 29, 2023 Corrected by BMC APAR BQM1865 (available in May 2023).
The reconfiguration record created a PCIE Function ID
segment that did not have a matching Sync I/O segment but
R749SION was not a zero.
Thanks to Raymond J. Smith, OPTUM, USA.
Change 41.051 Variable WBIRISCN was misspelled in UTILEXCL as WBURISCN.
UTILEXCL Variable WBJSNRPL was misspelled in VMAC110 as WBJBNRPL.
Jun 29, 2023
Change 41.050 Previously, only ID=102 SMF records had Subtype GT 255,
FORMATS and MXG protected that ID, but now, SMF 98 records with
VMACSMF subtype 1024 & 1025 exposed an ancient circumvention for
Jul 2, 2023 for a bad MIM record that had only a one byte subtype.
That MXG fix input only MIM's first byte, but that one
byte input now, with subtype GT 255, incorrectly makes
the subtype value wrong, to a 4 for 1024/1025 or to 127
for a subtype of 32767. This change removes that code
and now, subtypes 0 to 32767 are now correctly input.
HOWEVER, the large subtypes impact the calculated value
of the ANALID reporting variable SMFIDSUB that has only
three subtype positions (098.001), creating an unexpected
value of 99.024 for the ID 98 Subtype 1024 record!
Fortunately, all of the ANALID reports use the $MGSMFID
format for printing SMFIDSUB, so adding an entry for
' 99.024'='098.1024' now displays the expected value,
avoiding a risky revision of the SMFIDSUB creation logic.
Change 41.049 -WIC SMF 98 CICS Subtype 1024 ABEND, INPUT STATEMENT WAS
EXTY98B1 EXCEEDED because only the Subtype 1 was documented in the
EXTY98B2 SMF Manual. Now, the z/OS Workload Interaction Correlator
EXTY98EX CICS 1024 WIC (an IBM Priced Product) is documented in

TECHNOTE signals the death of that ancient version for MXG use.
Jun 20, 2023 The third argument was not added until SAS Version 9.2.
Fortunately, only six ancient (2013) Websphere Flat File
processing members VMACXD-fg/ns/sp/ss/ti/ts have the 3rd
argument, but they do cause JCLTEST9/TESSOTHR to ABEND.
Change 41.045 CICSEXCE Exception Records are only written for ABENDING
TECHNOTE tasks, so transactions that have long wait delays, but do
Jun 20, 2023 run (i.e., socket wait that eventually clears) won't have
observations.
Change 41.044 SMF Type 30s with SRVCLASS=SYSOTHER can be created by the
TECHNOTE Veloci-Raptor product documented in their note:
Jun 14, 2023 There is a very brief period of time during mode switch
or during a policy activation where SRM and WLM control
blocks are still being created. If SMF writes type 30
records during this time when the control blocks are
not present, it will record the address space as being
associated with service class SYSOTHER. So even if an
installation fully classifies all work, that site might
see an occasional job associated with SYSOTHER in 30s.
Change 41.043 Ten Dedicated Memory variables are added to ZRBASI.
VMACRMFV Four Dedicated Memory variables are added to ZRBGEI.
Jun 12, 2023 Thes fields are new in z/OS 3.1.

May 31, 2023 -CORRECTION for CICS/TS 6.1 with default VMAC110 but was
Jun 4, 2023 ok if UTILEXCL was used to create an IMACEXCL for 6.1.
Default VMAC110 in 41.01 and earlier was misaligned, with
possible error message "CPUTM 10X LARGER THAN ELAPSED".
This change is in MXG 41.02 dated Jun 5, 2023.
June 4 "cosmetic" updates previously overlooked:
Variables now KEPT in CICSTRAN:

Change 41.037 Dino Software's Veloci-Raptor datasets were misaligned
VMACVELO after the header DSNAME field due to a 3 byte reserved
May 30, 2023 field that was not skipped. Only subtypes 1, 2, 3 & 4

Change 41.013 INPUT STATEMENT EXCEEDED for DB2NETZA Q8ST IDAA SMF 100
VMACDB2 SUBTYPE 1 DB2NETZA records, due to MXG error in heuristic
Mar 19, 2023 calculation of the offset to the next segment, BUT ONLY
if variable length field Q8STNAME is Less than 8 bytes.
This is not new MXG code and only one site so far has
seen the error and all prior test data did have 8 bytes.
You can circumvent the error with
%LET MACFILE= %QUOTE(IF ID=100 AND SUBTYPE=1) THEN DELETE;
in your SYSIN, or ask MXG Support to email the VMACDB2.
The site with this error is not actually using NETEZZA
and I'm asking IBM for help in understanding why the Q8ST
segment is created, can it be disabled, and where the
installation defines that character field and its length.
The LENQ8ST length of segment field is INPUT before the
loop so it is not updated for each instance of the Q8ST
segments. It was 897 for all three segments, but the hex
dump shows that they are 897, 900 and 900 bytes long.
Those wrong LENQ8ST values and the Q8STNAMELEN length of
QBSTNAME were used in MXG's heuristic calculation of the
location of the next segment, but that code was WRONG if
QBSTNAMELEN was NOT 8 bytes, causing the OFFQ8ST location
of next segment to be mis-aligned; the MXG calculation
logic error was also assisted by the undocumented 2-byte
field found after the Q8STNAME field.
That undocumented 2-field after the QBSTNAME field may
have been an IBM attempt to provide the actual LENQ8ST
for each segment, but its value is wrong, containing 898
(+2=900) in the first two segments when it should have
been 895 (+2=897) and 898 (+2=900). It has a value of 116
in the last segment, but that is not used as there is no
next segment, and there are 133 undocumented bytes after
it, and none of the other triplets point to that area.
Q8STNAME is the Accelerator Server Identifier and you can
verify the non-8 value in QBSTNAMELEN variable in the log
in the PUT _ALL_ after the hex dump if you get the ABEND.
Thanks to Andreas von Imhof, Rabobank, THE NETHERLANDS.

A fix for this issue for Base SAS 9.4_M7 is available at
https://tshf.sas.com/techsup/download/hotfix/HF2/I9R.html#69871
-MXG (i.e. SAS) can read VBS records with LRECL greater
than 32K. However, IBM reassembly architecture of RMF
records (introduced in 2015 with z/OS 2.2) resulted in
splitting the data in the original long LRECL records
(have seen 3.7M) into records
smaller than 32k. This splitting resulted in related
triplet sections assumed by MXG coding to all to be in
the same record to no longer be a valid assumption. To
resolve the issue, reassembly of the original long
record was developed on z/OS, but during testing of the
reassembly process on SAS/PC, it was found that using
RECFM=S370VBS for the output LARGE LRECL, those files
were not being properly created. This hotfix addresses
that issue with SAS/PC.
Change 41.011 -Addition of ASMRMFI program using IBM GRBSMFR service
ADOCRMFI to reassemble "broken" (split) RMF (7x) long records
ASMRMFI (where the LRECL is greater than 32756 bytes)

Change 41.003 -Revisions to existing programs to reassemble "broken"
ADOCRMFX (split) RMF records into the original long (greater
ASMMACS than 32756 bytes) records
ASMRMFX -Addition of two new reassembly routines:
EXITRMFX RMFXIFUE an updated version of CICSIFUE to reassemble
JCLASMXG "broken" RMF records as well as decompress
JCLRMFXA CICS 110.1/112 and DB2 100/101/102 records for
JCLRMFXL 110.1 decompression, RMFXIFUE now checks for
JCLRMFXs records too short to contain the full length
RMFXE35 of the CICS product section and now chains
RMFXIFUE through the CICS product section to locate the
Feb 20, 2023 CRL field that indicates whether the record is
Mar 6, 2023 compressed. The 112 record mapping is now also
separate from the original single DSECT with
hardcoded offsets.
RMFXE35 a replacement for ERBPPE35 in the sample
RMF post-processing sort example that
front-ends ERBPPE35 to restore the swapped
fields from ERBPPE15 processing, then uses the
restored records to reassemble the "broken"
RMF records. All RMF records are written to
DDNAME LONGVBS to retain the processing
sequence while avoiding sort's record length
limitations.
-Addition of assemble and link steps for RMFXE35 and
RMFXIFUE in JCLASMXG
-Revision of ADOCRMFX to reflect current status of RMFX
members
-$CHGLOG member added to ASMMACS for tracking changes
-Revision to ASMRMFX to remove IBM RMF macros and replace
them with custom coding of the RMF product section data
structures
-Addition of program structure documentation to ASMRMFX
-Addition of EXITRMFX JCl to assemble and link RMFXIFUE
-Addition of JCLRMFXA example of ASMRMFX use
-Addition of JCLRMFXL example of ASMRMFX assemble/link
-Addition of JCLRMFXS example of RMFXE35 use
Change 41.002 Dataset TYPE123C variable SM123S2_API_REQ_NAME is the
VMAC123A same as variable SM123APISN in TYPE123A and TYPE1232 and
Feb 6, 2023 is needed for MERGEs, so variable SM123APISN is now added
to dataset TYPE123C.

-Download files at http://www.mxg.com/downloads/
The APAR inserted new fields in SMF 72 Subtype 3 TYPE72GO
that exposed an MXG coding error that failed to test for
new added fields after the last new segment, causing the
INPUT misalignment and invalid data values to be created.
There MAY be INVALID DATA FOR R723IFAT messages or other
fields printed, but those are accidental and there might
not be ANY log messages that the error occurred. And even
if there are INVALID DATA messages, they do not set a
CONDITION CODE, so there may be no clue on the log that
the error occurred.
MXG 39.39 thru MXG 40.03 correctly input the new data.
but only this change or MXG 40.04 has the protection for
additional new fields in any future IBM updates..

All of these enhancements are described in the Change Log, below.
========================================================================
II. SAS Version requirement information:
SAS Versions
The current version nomenclature is SAS 9.4 TS1M7 (9.4M7),
"M7", or with options VERSIONLONG;
"SAS 9.4 (9.04.01M7P080520)" on z/OS
9.4 (TS04.01M7P08052020)" on ASCII.
SAS V9.4 M7 is RECOMMENDED, but MXG executes without error
using SAS Version 9.4 M0-M2 or M4-M6 or SAS Version 9.3 M0-M2.
SAS V9.4 M5 is REQUIRED with z/OS 2.3 with Eight-Byte USERIDs
for Interactive TSO (DMS) SAS Sessions. SAS Note 61339.
Only on z/OS, SAS 9.4 "M5" requires MXG 35.36+ because it adds the
NOERRORSTOP option to protect all MXG PROC SQLs from the M5 defect
described in SAS Note 61672. But SAS apparently does not plan for
a defect correction since the MXG Circumvention solves for MXG and
the text of 61672 simply describes the circumvention needed because
MXG's use of OPTIONS OBS=0 without NOERRORSTOP exposed the defect.
See Change 35.309 for more details on using NOERRORSTOP for your
own PROC SQLs.
SAS V9.4 M3 is NOT RECOMMENDED. See Change 36.128 SAS Note 61906
that reports 40% Increase in CPU time with M3.
SAS V9.4 (ALL) and SAS V9.3 (ALL) are at LEVEL A SAS Support.
SAS V9.3 SAS 9.3 TS1M2 was RECOMMENDED. SAS 9.3 TS1M1 works ok.
But SAS 9.3 at TS1M0, the HOT FIX for SAS Note SN-43828,
see CHANGE 29.169, IS REQUIRED:
The %MACRO compiler error is in processing %LET
statements. While only two MXG members failed
repeatedly in MXG QA tests on z/OS, there were random
%LET errors in ASCII QA tests, so ANY use of %LET
statement on ANY platform are vulnerable to this
error, as the %MACRO compiler is SAS portable code,
used on all platforms. So this is NOT just an MXG
error, but impacts ALL SAS programs.
SAS9.3 is LEVEL A support from SAS.
SAS V9.2 Was recommended, prior to 9.3, and was error-free with
MXG 26.03 SAS Hot Fix for SAS Note 37166 is required to
use a VIEW with the MXG EXITCICS/CICSFIUE CICS/DB2
Decompression Infile Exit. but SAS V9.2 does execute on
that platform.
9.2 is LEVEL B Support from SAS, as of Sep 30, 2013.
SAS V9.1.3 on z/OS 1.10 requires SAS Hot Fix for SN-35332 and is at
Support level C by SAS Institute, Sep 30, 2013.
SAS V9.1.3 is NOT supported by SAS on Windows SEVEN.
SAS V8.2 SUPPORT LEVEL C BY SAS INSTITUTE; NOT ALL OF MXG WORKS!
with SAS 8.2.
SAS 8.2 is Level C Support from SAS as of Dec 31, 2011.
JCL in MXGSAS94 or MXGSAS93 can be used, or MXGNAMES can be used
***************************************************************
As documented in Change 27.356, for SAS V9.2 or later):
The standard SAS JCL Procedure can be used for MXG with SAS V9.2+
// EXEC SAS,CONFIG='MXG.SOURCLIB(CONFIMXG)'
//MXGNAMES DSN=MXG.USERID.SOURCLIB(MXGNAMES),DISP=SHR
But CONFIMXG is required for sites with NLS issues, and you must
use JCLCONFI to create/update the MXG.FORMATS catalog if you use
CONFIG='MXG.SOURCLIB(CONFIMXG)'.
For no NLS, you can use the MXGSAS94 JCL Procedure example.
***************************************************************
MXG 26.03 thru MXG 36.11 will execute under the previously listed
SAS Versions on all supported platforms
Unrelated to the above SAS Note/Hot Fix, ODS users will want to
use MXG 29.06+, because SAS V9.3 did expose incompatibilities in
MXG code for ODS reporting, that were fixed in MXG Version 29.06.
See Changes 29.159 and 29.169.
And, only for z/OS 1.10 with SAS V9.1.3 with ANY version of MXG,
the SAS Hot Fix for SN-35332 is REQUIRED (to be completely safe).
Without this Hot Fix, "LIBREF XXXXXXXX IS NOT ASSIGNED" errors
can occur even though //XXXXXXXX DD is a valid SAS Data Library.
This error ONLY occurs with z/OS 1.10 and SAS V9.1.3; it does
NOT occur with SAS V9.2, nor with z/OS 1.9. It can be
circumvented by adding a LIBNAME statement that specifies the
ENGINE name. See the Technical Note in Newsletters for SN-35332.
Note that SAS V9.1.3 is now at "Level B" Support from SAS.
Old MXG code may continue to execute with SAS V8.2, but V8 is now
"Level C" support from SAS Institute, and there are known errors
in V8.2 that are only fixed in SAS V9. I no longer QA with V8.2;
While many MXG programs (accidentally) will still execute under
V8.2, I cannot guarantee that all of MXG executes error free.
PLEASE INSTALL V9.2/V9.3/V9.4, TO AVOID FIXED PROBLEMS!
If you are absolutely stuck on V8, you need to copy MXG member
V8GETOBS into USERID.SOURCLIB and rename to VGETOBS.
MXG Software has not executed under SAS V6 in many years.
The "PDB" libraries (i.e., SAS data libraries) must be created by
SAS V8 or later, but any of those data libraries can be read or
updated by the SAS Versions that MXG Supports, above.
For SAS Version V9.3:
SAS 93 TS1M1 is RECOMMENDED; for TS1M0, SAS Hot Fix in SAS Note
SN43828 is REQUIRED. See text of Change 29.159.
With SAS 93 TS1M1, (or TS1M0 with that Hot Fix) MXG Versions
26.03 or later execute under SAS V9.3 on all platforms.
SAS Data Libraries created by SAS V8.2, V9.1.3, V9.2, V9.3 and
SAS V9.4 are interchangeable and can be read/written by any of
those versions, provided they are on the same platform.
BUT: on ASCII, the 32-bit and 64-bit SAS versions are NOT the
same "platform" and attempting to read/use the FORMAT catalog
created on one of those "platforms" on the other "platform"
will error out to remind you of that difference!
SAS V9.4 did change some V9.3 ODS processing defaults and syntax
that might cause errors with MXG 29.05 or earlier; MXG 29.06,
Change 29.160 documents the major revisions made in MXG to fully
support ODS, and MXG 29.06 is STRONGLY recommended for ODS with
SAS V9.3 or SAS V9.4.
For (Archaic) SAS Version V9.2 (TS1M0):
Big Picture: SAS Version V9.2 is COMPATIBLE with MXG Software.
On z/OS, SAS changed the DSNAMES for some of the SAS libraries,
so you do need to use the new MXGSAS92 JCL Procedure for MXG,
but it still uses the CONFIGV9 configuration file.
****************************************************************
However, NEW, and documented in Change 27.356, with SAS V9.2+:
The standard SAS JCL Procedure can be used for MXG:
// EXEC SAS,CONFIG='MXG.SOURCLIB(CONFIMXG)'
//MXGNAMES DD DSN=MXG.USERID.SOURCLIB(MXGNAMES),DISP=SHR
instead of using the MXGSAS92 JCL Procedure example.
****************************************************************
SAS Data Libraries are compatible for V8.2, V9.1.3, V9.2, V9.3,
and V9.4. "PDBs" can be read/written interchangeably between
these SAS versions.
MXG Versions 26.03+ do execute with SAS V9.2 with NO WARNINGS
and with NO ERRORS reported.
Pre-MXG 26.03, SAS Hot Fix F9BA07 was required to suppress a
new SAS V9.2 WARNING, that on z/OS, set CC=4 (condition/return
code). That warning is harmless (to MXG code) and all MXG
created SAS datasets were correct, even with that warning.
The ONLY exposure was ONLY on z/OS, and ONLY if condition code
tests are used in your MXG jobstreams.
SAS Version 9.2 requires z/OS 1.7 or later, both officially as
documented by SAS Institute, and actually as V9.2 fails with 0C4
under z/OS 1.4.
For SAS V9.1.3 on z/OS with Service Pack 4:
On z/OS 1.10, Hot Fix SN-35332 is REQUIRED.
CONFIGV9 now specifies V9SEQ instead of V6SEQ. As V6SEQ does
not support long length character variables, it can't be used.
SAS V9.1.3 with current Service Pack 4 is STRONGLY RECOMMENDED.
For (back-level!) SAS V9.1 or V9.1.2 on z/OS:
SN-013514 is REQUIRED to be able to read datasets that were
created by V6SEQ (tape) engine.
SN-012437 is REQUIRED to prevent creation of corrupt/unreadable
datasets with tape engines V7SEQ, V8SEQ, or V9SEQ.
Both fixes ARE included in SAS V9.1.3, but V9.1 or 9.1.2 is NOT
SAFE without those two hot fixes, and if you do NOT have those
two fixes on 9.1 or 9.1.2, you MUST set V6SEQ in CONFIGV9.
With MXG 23.02 or later, V9SEQ is the default sequential engine
specified in CONFIGV9, but if you are back at SAS V9.1 or V9.1.2
you MUST install the two hot fixes listed above.
For SAS Version 8.2, HotFix Bundle 82BX08 (or later) was required
as an absolute minimum level when that SAS Version was last
supported by MXG Software. PLEASE INSTALL SAS V9.x ASAP.
Sequential Engine Status:
V9SEQ was fixed in V9.1.3; it has been default in CONFIGV9.
V8SEQ was always safe under SAS V8.2, but it wasted CPU time
by always compressing when writing in tape format.
V6SEQ, if used under V9.1.2, requires SN-013514, but V6SEQ
should no longer be used, as it does not support long
length variables.
GENERAL STATEMENT FOR MXG QA TESTS AND SAS VERSIONS:
MXG QA tests are executed with V9.4, on z/OS, on Windows TEN and
Linux on 64-bit hardware, but MXG users execute MXG on MANY
(ALL??) SAS platforms, including AIX, Linux, and other 'nix'
variants, on many different hardware platforms, and since they all
work we don't need to list them. If SAS executes so does MXG.
Prior QA tests have been run with all SAS releases available at
that time on Linux RH8 on Intel, on Solaris v2.8 on a Model V880,
and on HP-UX v11.11 model rp5470, confirming full compatibility.
MXG should execute under ALL SUPPORTED SAS VERSIONS on EVERY SAS
platform without errors! Each new MXG version is also tested with
the SAS ITSV/ITRM product by the ITRM developers.
III. WPS Version requirement information:
WPS Version 4.04 (04.04.01.00.005305 has been tested.
DO NOT USE 4.03.01 nor 4.04.00, INVALID CPU BUSY in TYPE70.
Error was introduced in 4.03.01 and 4.04.00. See Change 39.171.
Must be at 4.03.02.00.8569+ or 4.04.00.03.3277+/
WPS Version 4.01 USER 4037 ABEND, See Change 37.116.
WPS Version 4.0 reportedly fixed version 3 problems.
WPS Version 3.02 (03.02.03.00.016221) is required Change 34.266.
and other errors with 3.00 or 3.01 have been corrected in the
current WPS version.
WPS Version 3.01.1 maintenance level 731 required for PDB to tape
WPS Version 3.01 (also shows 3.1.1) is required for AUTOEZOS.
WPS Version 3.01 is required for MOBILWRK, PICTURE fails in 2.5.
WPS Version 3.01 executed MXG 32.03 BUILDPDB with no errors.
WPS Version 3.0 requires MXG 31.09 (see Change 31.251).
WPS Version 2.4 required MXG 27.09 (see Change 27.239).
WPS Version 2.3.5 required MXG 27.05.
See NEWSLETTERS for WPS Support Statement.
WPS prints this message ERROR: COULD NOT CREATE DATA SET "PDB.ID"
when the LIBNAME PDB does not exist; there would also have been a
prior log message NOTE: Library PDB does not exist as the clue.
IV. MXG Version Required for Hardware, Operating System Release, etc.
MXG is usually NOT sensitive to z/OS Hardware changes, but:
-Support for z16 processor data.
SMF: Only SMF 113 records were incompatibly changed, but there is no
execution error as only counter labels and values were changed,
causing coefficients for the calculated variables (RMI,etc) to
also be changed and default coefficients are changed to z16,
You must use separate SAS steps for each processor type and
read only SMF 113 from that processor type.
For z/15 you would use
//SYSIN DD *
%LET MACKEEP= MACRO _XLA113 _XLA11F %
%INCLUDE SOURCLIB(TYPS113,ASUM113);
and for z/16 you would use
//SYSIN DD *
%LET MACKEEP= MACRO _XLA113 _XLA11G %
%INCLUDE SOURCLIB(TYPS113,ASUM113);
to get correct values in ASUM1131 dataset.
MXG Support for z/16 for SMF 113 requires 40.05 for z/OS and
40.03 for zVM.
MXG 40.01 will ABEND due to a TYPE30 error exposed by the z16.
Change line 1812 in VMAC30 from 192 to 220 or ask support for
the current VMAC30 member with Change 40.050.
Many other SMF and Data Gatherer records were updated in 40.04.
RMF ASMRMFV processes RMF III data with no errors, Change 40.068
added some new fields. New DNG3 table support was in 40.05.
-Support for z15 processor data.
The z15 and z15 T02 processors INCOMPATIBLY changed the SMF 113
records by inserting 32 new EXTEND and 4 CRYPTO counters, causing
ARRAY SIZE EXCEEDED with BUILDPDB which processes the SMF 113s.
Support for counter changes for both models was in MXG 37.08.
If you use MIPS in reports, the format $MGRMIPS provides the
MIPS/MSU value for each processor; the z15 values were updated
in MXG 37.08, and the z15 TO2 values were updated in MXG 38.04.
These MXG programs use $MGRMIPS: ASUMMIPS GRAFCEC GRAFWLM
GRAFWRKX and TYPERMFV (RMF III).
The z/14 also inserted SMF 113 fields, supported in MXG 36.07.
The z/13 with 61+ LPARs requires MXG 32.05 IF NON-SMT MODE.
The z/EC12 with 85+ engines required MXG 30.07.
Support for 255 engines was added in MXG 31.04.
And z/VM on the z15 requires MXG 38.02, PRCMFC/MFM COUNTERS caused
HARDWARE COUNTER messages, PRCMFC/PRCMFM no obs. Change 38.048.
The z13 processor INCOMPATIBLY CHANGED, the new SMT-MODE RMF 70, and
MXG 34.03 was REQUIRED (PCTCPUBY WRONG!), to read the SMT-format RMF
(which are written if you have zIIP engines AND have enabled the new
PROCVIEW CORE option for Multi-Threading, even if only one thread is
enabled).
SMF Back Levels: MXG 37.08 or later is required for both z15 & z16
SMF 113 change, but those back level versions could fail due
to other records changed by subsystem updates you made for the
z16 (e.g.CICS TS/6.1 which requires MXG 40.02) that didn't
exist when that back=level was created..
The new zEDC/EADM compression hardware requires MXG 38.05 to support
new metrics.

Note: Asterisk by the version number means the Version number
was changed (to the MXG version required), after an earlier
MXG version was listed as supporting this product release,
usually because an APAR modified the product's data records.
Or a coding error in MXG could be the reason for the change!

V. Incompatibilities and Installation of MXG 40.40.
1. Incompatibilities introduced in MXG 40.40:
a. Changes in MXG architecture made between 40.40 and prior versions
that can introduce known incompatibilities.
IF YOU HAVE MEMBER E2TY70 IN YOUR USERID.TAILORING SOURCE LIBRARY,
YOU MUST CHANGE _LTY70 to _WTY70 in that member. CHANGE 38.105.
The error before this correction will be:
ERROR: DATA SET "PDB.TYPE70" was not specified on the DATA stmt.
2. Installation and re-installation procedures are described in detail
in member INSTALL (which also lists common Error/Warning messages a
new user might encounter), and sample JCL is in member JCLINSTT for
SAS Version 9.
MXG Definitions with regard to MXG Software Changes:
COMPATIBLE A change in a data record which did not alter either
COMPAT the location or the format of all of the previously-
kept MXG variables is COMPATIBLE, and you can continue
to run the old version of MXG software, which will read
the new records without error, but none of any new data
fields or any new record subtypes will be created/kept
until you install the MXG Version with this change.
INCOMPAT A change in a data record that causes the current MXG
version to fail, visibly or invisibly, with or without
error conditions or messages, and the output datasets
may contain wrong values and incomplete observations,
and/or observations may have been lost.
You MUST install the new MXG Version with this change
to process data records that have been INCOMPATIBLY
changed by their vendor.
TOLERATE In other words, the old MXG Version TOLERATES the new
data records, if they are COMPATIBLY changed.
EXPLOIT Once you use the new MXG Version to read the changed
records, all of the new fields, subtypes, etc, that are
described in this change will be created in the MXG
datasets, so the new MXG Version EXPLOITS the new data,
and you have full support of the new data records.
An MXG Version never "expires" nor "goes out of Support". When
you put in a new product/subsystem/Release/APAR that incompatibly
changed its records then you must install the current MXG Version
or at least be using the minimum level of MXG that is currently
documented in the preceding list in section IV.
COSMETIC Some Changes will start with COSMETIC. This indicates
that that change only alters a displayed value or may
be a spelling error in a label, but it is "cosmetic"
in that it ONLY affected the display, and the output
data sets created are NOT impacted by this change.
VI. Online Documentation of MXG Software.
MXG Documentation is now described in member DOCUMENT.
See also member INDEX, but it may be overwhelming.

Jan 20, 2023 for the duration. Variable AVGENQUE could also be missing
because it tested a "no longer used" bit in DEVIND that
is sometimes used!

Change 40.150A Updates for Change 40.150 Split RMF 70 Subtype 1 were
JCLRMFX made. Only SMF 70 subtype 1 records are processed, the
TYPS7001 RMF 73 was included only because split 73s were available
Jan 15, 2023 for testing the reassembly and there is no need for any
other Split records to be reassembled at this time.
The TYPS7073 program was renamed to TYPS7001.
The TYPERMFX reassembly program works on z/OS with both
SAS and WPS, but does not currently work on ASCII; so we
are developing an ASMRMFX for ASCII sites.
Reassembled large LRECL records can be processed on ASCII
directly with the FTP ACCESS method using SITE RDW and
S370VS. or downloaded with RECFM=U,BLKSIZE=32760 and then
using S370VBS on the ASCII INFILE statement.

=CHANGES THRU 40.150 WERE IN MXG 40.07 DATED Jan 16, 2023 Early Adopters
Change 40.150 -INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE TO SMF 70.1 FOR SITES CREATING SPLIT
ADOCRMFX SMF records. ONLY IMPACTS MXG TYPE70PR PR/SM DATASET.
FORMATS -ONLY SITES WITH LOTS OF ENGINES AND LPARS CREATE THEM.
JCLRMFX This program will tell you if you have split records:
RMFSPLIT //SPLITS EXEC MXGSAS94 (your SAS JCL Procedure)
TYPERMFX //SMF DD DSN=YOUR.SMF,DISP=SHR
TYPS7001 %INCLUDE SOURCLIB(VMACSMF);
VMAC7072 DATA;_SMF;IF ID=70 AND SUBTYPE=1;
VMACSMF INPUT @OFFSMF+47 NRCPUD &PIB.2.
VMACSMFL @OFFRMFP+74 SMF70RAN &PIB.2.
VMXGINIT @OFFRMFP+104 SMF70RBR &PIB.2.
Jan 16, 2023 @;
PUTLOG _N_= SYSTEM= SMFTIME= RMFSRCL= HEX2.
SMF70RAN= SMF70RBR= LENGTH= NRCPUD=;
IF NRCPUD=0, that SYSTEM uses the alternate algorithm and
its SMF 70.1 records must be reassembled, with MXG 40.07.
You can also use the 40.07 RMFSPLIT program report.
-SPLIT records are created when the length of data for an
interval exceeds 32760 bytes and multiple 32760 byte
blocks are created. If LPAR COUNT*ENGINE COUNT*88 is GT
26,000 you have split records (10 LPARS and 30 ENGINES).
APARs OA62064 and OA63108 changed IBM's "old" breaking
algorithm to the "new" breaking algorithm but with no
mention of that change!!!
-The good news with the new SPLIT records is that the
TYPE70 dataset is CORRECTLY created. It is ONLY the
TYPE70PR PR/SM dataset that has missing or incorrect
values that were previously populated from those
now-non-existent segments. Fortunately, there is no
execution error, just bad data in TYPE70PR and in the
ASUMxxxx datasets created from TYPE70PR.
-Previously, for the SMF70 Subtype 1 record, each SPLIT
record repeated the CPU Data Sections and the Logical
Core Sections, so the TYPE70PR PR/SM dataset could be
created, since some fields from CPUD and CORE segments
are needed, but the new algorithm no longer writes those
sections in the 2nd and subsequent SPLIT records, and
this broke the back of the MXG PR/SM implementation,
which had been designed to match the record contents.
-IBM Claims the change was NOT INCOMPATIBLE, stating that
it has ALWAYS BEEN A REQUIREMENT TO SORT and Reassemble
the split records into a single VBS Record with the
larger LRECL, (77,000 in this case), using the fields in
the Reassembly Area fields, but IBM does NOT provide a
utility to create those records, and neither IFASMFDP nor
DFSORT can process records with LRECL greater than 32760.
-The alternate splitting logic was already implemented
with z/OS 2.2 but with APAR OA62064 (which introduces
record level x'8F' for SMF 70 subtype 1) additional
fields were added to the CPU data section so that in
case of large LPARs with many processors it becomes more
likely that the alternate splitting is used.
-If the alternate algorithm is used, the value of NRCPUD,
the count of CPU Detail Sections, will be zero in the
second and subsequent split records, RMFSPLIT provides
that reporting, and NRCPUD is available in _SMF. header.
-In z/OS 2.5 IBM does offer the GRBRMFR service that can
be called to assist with the reassembly, but that service
will NOT be provided for z/OS 2.4 or earlier releases.
-The MXG Solution is the new TYPERMFX SAS program and the
example JCLRMFX whose first step Selects and SORTS the
70.1 and 73 SMF records (the SORT ensures split records
are in the correct order required for reassembly). The
second step uses the SAS TYPERMFX program to reassemble
and write out the Large LRECL records, which are then
read by the SAS TYPS7001 program in the third step to
create the TYPE70 TYPE70EN TYPE70PR and TYPE73 datasets,
and which %includes ASUM70PR to create these datasets
ASUM70GC ASUM70GL ASUM70LP ASUMCELP ASUMCEC
in the output PDB Data Library, which can then be used
for reports, and/or copied into the daily PDB library.
Changes made:
-JCLRMFX is the three step reassembly & PDB create job.
-TYPERMFX SAS program to reassemble into Large LRECL recs
-TYPS7001 reads LRECL SMF and creates the PDB.
-VMACSMFL replaces _SMF to use &LRGLRECL for SMF to input
the Large LRECLs and should only be used with JCLRMFX.
-VMACSMF and VMACSMFL were updated to decode SMF70RAN and
other RMF reassembly variables available for _SMF..
-FORMATS set RMFSRCL HEX2. so '8F'x is printed.
-VMXGINIT GLOBALs &LRGLRECL and sets it to 264000; the
largest reassembled LRECL was 77000 bytes.
-VMAC7072 was updated to add SMF70RAN/RBR/RSQ reassembly
variables to TYPE70.
-New RMFSPLIT program reads today's SMF data and alert
you if you have split records and whether data is lost.
-New member ADOCRMFX has detail documentation on the
Reassembly program TYPERMFX and the JCLRMFX example.
-SAS and WPS both work correctly with a download LRGLRECL
reassembled file with RECFM=U on the download.
-SEE CHANGE 41.012 FOR REQUIRED SAS HOT FIXES.
Change 40.149 -Support for CICS/TS 6.2 new fields added. New fields:
ZMAC110 XSNLNACT - DFHTASK 048 - FAILED AUOR NOLOG NOTAUTH
ZTILEXCL XSNLNFCT - DFHTASK 049 - FAILED AUOR NOLOG NOTFIND
FORMATS -SMFPSRVR is 75 for CICS/TS 6.2 so formats were updated:
Jan 8, 2023 MGVERCIC $MGVERCIC $MGSYIL
-The two members ZMAC110 and ZTILEXCL (ONLY in 40.40 with
BUILTBY= JAN 26, 2023 Change 40.149) are the updated code
for the CICS/TS 6.2, but they have not been tested with
6.2 Records. You can copy/rename them to UTILEXCL and
VMAC110 in your "USERID.SOURCLIB" to test and validate
this change, and advise of your success to support.
Thanks to Todd Gagle, Broadcom, USA.
Change 40.148 Support for TYPE 99 Subtypes 9 and 10.
VMAC99
Dec 2, 2022
Change 40.147 Array size of 2047,33165 required 550MB Region and caused
VMXGGETM Memory Failure errors if SAS Hot Fix 66883 for z/OS was
Dec 1, 2022 not applied. The array was much larger than was needed.
The first size (2047) is the number of possible SMF IDs
(2047) and 33165 was set to the number of combinations,
but it only needs to be the number of possible subtypes
for an ID. Current maximum subtype is 499 for the DB2
DB2 101 trace records, but 4096 was chosen since that
only requires a 110 MB REGION size. And, VMXGGETM is only
used to create a test file of two of your SMF records so
it's not routinely executed by UTILGETM.
Thanks to Allana Jacob, Kyndryl, CANADA.
Thanks to Pranav Yader, Kyndryl, CANADA.
Thanks to Amha Tsegaye, Kyndryl, CANADA.
Change 40.146 -Corrections to ASUMCELP dataset. SMF70LAC is now the MAX
ASUM70PR value to more accurately match SCRT reports, and GMTOFFTM
VMXG70PR and SMF70CPA are now populated.
Nov 28, 2022 -The ICF LPARS observations can now be created in ASUMCELP
Dec 3, 2022 and ASUM70LP datasets if you specify %LET ICFLPARS=YES;
before your %INCLUDE SOURCLIB(ASUM70PR) statement.
That will increase the number of obs in ASUMCELP/ASUM70PR
and most of the current LPAR variables will have missing
values, as only the ICF metrics are populated in the ICF
observations and the ICF metrics are missing values in
other LPAR observations. The ICF observations will have
LPARICFS NE 0.
Thanks to Joseph Montana, BKFS, USA.
Change 40.145 A report program that will show you in spreadsheet form
ANALCEC how the LPARs on your CEC are defined. It will tell you
Nov 21, 2022 how many MSU/MIPS are available to MVS based on the
Dec 25, 2022 lowest of cap values and CPUs assigned to LPAR.
Thanks to Miguel Fernandez, BNYMellon, USA.
CHANGE 40.144 The last line of MDIZERO was an unclosed comment causing
MDIZERO SLP to abend. MDIZERO now creates the OUT_DIR if it does
IEBUPDTE not exist. IEBUPDTE cosmetic updates with PUTLOGS.
Nov 21. 2022
Change 40.143 Change 40.103 was still incorrect, RECFM=VBS is needed to
VMACDCOL support any BLKSIZE value in the dumped DCOLLECT or IMS
VMACIMS VB records.
Nov 21, 2022
Thanks to Richard Egan, Westpac, AUSTRALIA.

VMACVMXA sort list for VXUSEACT, causing an OUT OF ORDER error.
Nov 15, 2022 triggered by the Daylight Savings Time Change.
Thanks to Scott Barry, SBBTechLLC, USA.
Change 40.140 -z/VM VXPRCMFC (SMF113 equivalent) RNI was always zero due
VMACVMXA to a typo that caused L3P to always be a missing value.
Nov 16, 2022 -Lines 6310 (z14/15) and 6375 (z16) creating L4RP both had
++ but the SAS Compiler did not flag that error, which
did not impact the value in L4RP for the z16, as all of
the EXTND counts in that statement were zero on this box
which only had one drawer. L4RP is non zero in others.
Thanks to Graham Harris, Natwest, ENGLAND
Change 40.139 Change 37.095 incorrectly decoded UOWTIME which prevented
VMACCIMS merging CIMSTRAN and CICSTRAN datasets.

====== CHANGES THRU 40.134 ARE IN MXG 40.06 DATED Oct 23, 2022 =========
Change 40.134 BMC CMF MXGWARN:IMPOSSIBLE VALUE DETECTED TYPE70PR CPU
VMAC7072 LCPUPDTM Dispatch Time z/16 Data under z/OS 2.4, not RMF.
Oct 21, 2022 MANY of those messages were printed, now limited to ten.
Nov 2, 2022 Some LCPUADDR engines had hundreds of hours of LCPUPDTM
Nov 14, 2022 Partition Dispatch Time for PHYSICAL LPAR. This message
has always and continues to set LCPUPDTM to zero,
Nov 2: BMC reports their error was introduced in BQM1809,
workaround is to back out BQM1809 and a circumvention is
given in that Case if you can't back it out.
Nov 14: BMC APAR BQM1868 will correct when available.
Change 40.133 New parameter added and now listed in alphabetic order.
ANALDB2R New LISTIDS=NO (DEFAULT) suppresses the reports from
ANALDBTR VFMT102 that listed all of the OBID DBIDs found and used
READDB2 in the PROC FORMAT. Generally only useful for debugging.

Thanks to Raymond J. Smith, OPTUM, USA.
Thanks to Ralph J. Romano, OPTUM, USA.
Change 40.131 Support for new TYPE7 variable SMF7DTYPX to report flood
VMAC7 filtered SMF records for all types (0-2047), to replace
Oct 11, 2022 SMF7DTYP which was only one byte for only 0-255 records.
If the dropped record is greater than 255, SMF7DTYP will
contain 126, which is the extended type indicator value.
Change 40.130 Support for SMF 106, updated and validated with all four
VMAC106 records creating these four datasets:

Oct 2, 2022 issuing ODS commands in VMXGINIT. Install Current SAS.
Change 40.123 If a DB2 subsystem is restarted during the period covered
VFMT102 by the input SMF data, it is possible to get duplicate
Oct 1, 2022 values for a given DBID OBID. This change detects that
and flags the problem with an MXGWARN message and keeps
only the last OBS found when there is more than one.

GRAFCEC
Sep 30, 2022
Thanks to Tom S. MacCabe, Dominion Energy Services, Inc., USA.
Change 40.121 TYPE113 can only validly process one CPU type at a time,
ASUM113 but prior to this change, all CPU types were incorrectly
VMAC113 output, and only observations from the default CPU type
Sep 30, 2022 (z15 in 40.02- SM113VN2=6, z16 in 40.03+ SM113VN2=7) or
the requested CPU type (if you reset MACRO _XLA113 per
Change 40.095) contained valid data values and correct
variable's labels. This change detects the value in MACRO
_XLA113 and only outputs those observations, printing an
MXGWARN message if other types were found in SMF data,
and creating 0 obs in TYPE113/TYPE1131 if no requested
CPU type records were found.
Note that if you have multiple CPU Types, z16 and z15,
you would use the default z16 in your normal BUILDPDB and
output the TYPE1131 and ASUM1131 datasets to your normal
PDB data library, and would run a second step, changing
changing _XLA113 to _XLA113F for the z15 and changing the
//PDB DD to a DIFFERENT DATA LIBRARY as the two datasets
TYPE1131/ASUM1131 CAN NOT BE COMBINED and they must be
separately analyzed. The simplest job is
// EXEC MXGSASV9
//SMF DD DSN=YOUR.SMF113.DATA,DISP=SHR
//PDB DD DSN=YOUR.Z15.TYPE113.PDB,DISP=OLD
//SYSIN DD *
%LET MACKEEP= MACRO _XLA113 _XLA113F % ;
%INCLUDE SOURCLIB(TYPS113,ASUM113);
but the more complete job which enhances the ASUM1131
data set with TYPE70PR data would be
// EXEC MXGSASV9
//SMF DD DSN=YOUR.SMF113.SMF70.DATA,DISP=SHR
//PDB DD DSN=YOUR.Z15.TYPE113.PDB,DISP=OLD
//SYSIN DD *
%LET MACKEEP= MACRO _XLA113 _XLA113F % ;
%UTILBLDP(BUILDPDB=NO,USERADD=7072 113,
OUTFILE=INSTREAM,
WANTSMF=70.1 113.1,
INCLAFTR=ASUM70PR ASUM113);
%INCLUDE INSTREAM; RUN;
You could tailor your BUILDPDB to create an SMF file with
only the needed SMF records for the second job adding the
//SMFOUT DD DSN=YOUR.SMF113.SMF70.DATA,DISP=(,CATLG). . .
and using
//SYSIN DD *
%LET MACFILE=
%QUOTE(
FILE SMFOUT DCB=SMF;
IF (ID=70 AND SUBTYPE=1) OR (ID=113 AND SUBTYPE=1)
THEN PUT _INFILE;
FILE LOG; );
-ASUM113 was corrected to CRYPTO83 instead of CRYPTO70.
Thanks to Ralph J. Romano, OPTUM, USA.

MOBJWORK='MEMORY*OBJECTS*USED FOR*WORK?'
JOINKEY1='INVOKED*JOINKEYS*SUBTASK 1?'
JOINKEY2='INVOKED*JOINKEYS*SUBTASK 2?'
Thanks to Pierre Pascal Joulin, SOCGEN, FRANCE.
Change 40.119 If you add type120 data to the PDB you could get an array
VGETSORT subscript out of range message in a weekly or monthly
Sep 27, 2022 job. VGETSORT is used to build a list of the datasets
that could possibly be added to the week or month and
includes the variables in the SORTEDBY list. This was
kept in an array that was 20 deep but some some of the
type 120 datasets have very long _B lists and exceeded
the array size. Array was expanded to 50.
Change 40.118 Unused Change Number

Change 40.114 UTILGETM/VMXGGETM ERROR: Array Subscript out of range.
VMXGGETM This utility, used only in JCLTESx program to create the
SMFSMALL file, still had the old limit of SMF Type values
of 256, but now the maximum TYPE is 2047, with 0-127 and
1152-2047 for IBM with 128-1151 available for users.
The actual record type in the record is 126, which tells
MXG this is an Extended SMF Header record with the true
ID in that header. The specific record was TYPE=1153,
the JES2 Monitor record.

in your SYSIN, or with UTILBLDP by adding MNSEGCL5
and/or MNSEGCL6 or MNSEGCL to the SUPPRESS= parameter.
In addition, when TYPS110 is used, they are never sorted
nor written to the PDB data library, in VMAC110 comments:
MACRO S110:

Change 40.110 -If you specified FIRSTRUN=YES and RUNWEEK=NO the SAS
BLDSMPDB OPTION OBS=0 was still in effect, causing all subsequent
Sep 2, 2022 datasets to have 0 OBS which could also cause an ERROR.

Change 40.109 ERROR 557-185:Variable SETPDB is not an object because
ANAL307X SET&PDBMXG..TYPExxxx was missing the blank between SET
Aug 30, 2022 and &PDBMXG.
Thanks to Karl Lasecki, American Chemical Society, USA.
Change 40.108 The LFAAREA was introduced in 2017 but no one noticed in
VMAC71 those 5 years that it was not included in the CSTORE size
Aug 30, 2022 which suggest memory is not the critical resource it once
was! Variable CSTORE is updated to include SMF71GRX,
the maximum frame size of the LFA, converted to bytes to
match CSTORE UNITS.
Thanks to Douglas C. Walter, CITIGROUP, USA.
Change 40.107 Correction for TYPE9040 BOOST dataset SMF9040T/IBM _ETOD,
VMAC90A which is valid in both START and END event records, but
Aug 27, 2022 in the START record is the projected END of BOOST time.
and was incorrectly compared with SMFTIME to create the
GMTOFF9040 offset value. New variables:.
SMF9040STR the SMFTIME of the START event.
SMF9040EGMT the SMF9040T before GMTOFFSET in END
SMF9040SGMT the SMF9040T before GMTOFFSET in START
SMF9040TE the SMF9040T after GMTOFFSET in END
The last three variables are needed for the GMTOFF9040
calculation (by descending sort and retained from END.)
You must use %INCLUDE SOURCLIB(TYPS9040) or
%INCLUDE SOURCLIB(TYPE9040); _STY9040
because the GMT correction is in the dataset SORT.
-Note that the CAPTURAT in RMFINTRV can be over 100% in
Boosted intervals, and IBM says that is correct and will
eventually provide a documentation update.
Thanks to Peter Relson, IBM z/OS Core Design, USA.
Thanks to Jim S. Horne, Lowe's, USA.
Change 40.106 Support for new variables in MONITASK dataset, added by:

Change 40.105 Variables INTBTIME/INTETIME were missing if the first 30
VMAC30 was a subtype 2/3 for an OMVS (SUBSTEP GT 0) record.
SMFINTRV Change 25.089 set SMF30IST to missing IF SUBSTEP GT 0
Aug 24, 2022 because in 2007 it contained the original INITTIME and
not the current interval's start time, and could not be
used to create the GMTOFF30 (that MXG must calculate
because IBM has never put it in the 30 records!).
Now, the value in SMF30IST for OMVS jobs is valid and
no longer set missing and the INTBTIME/INTETIME are
now valid in that first 30 record.
See Change 40.156 correction.
Thanks to Ronald W. Bassett, OPTUM, USA.
Change 40.104 Variable SMF70TYP in TYPE70PR was always 2:IIP, while in
VMAC7072 TYPE70EN, it correctly mapped 0:CP 1:IFA 2:IIP, which are
Aug 22, 2022 the only engine types in TYPE70EN. But in TYPE70PR, the
Dec 10, 2022 correct variable is SMF70CIX which maps all five engines:
1:CP 3:IFA 4:IFL 5:ICF and 5:ZIIP. But now SMF70TYP does
correctly map it's three engine types in TYPE70PR.
Thanks to Pat Perreca, Wakefern, USA.
Change 40.103 The INFILE statement for IMSLOG didn't supply attributes
VMACDCOL LRECL and RECFM for the execution system, needed if they
VMACIMS are not supplied in the FILENAME IMSLOG statement. There
Aug 22, 2022 was also a logic error in both VMACIMS/VMACDCOL INFILEs.

Change 40.081 If you did not have an SMF DD or FILENAME statement and
VMACSMF your program tried to read SMF data you got a very odd
Jul 5, 2022 failure caused by the failure to create the SMFENG macro
variable. The variable is now initialised to NO SMF
INFILE FOUND and will be set to DISK or FTP with SAS or
a blank value with WPS.
Change 40.080 In the process of debugging the problem for which 40.006
VMXGSUM was the fix we added an UPCASE function as well as a
Jul 5, 2022 COMPBL function against the incode. Since all character
compares in SAS are case sensitive this can cause an
invalid compare if you are trying to compare values in
the INCODE and are expecting a lower case value. This
change removes the UPCASE but leaves the COMPBL which was
really the solution to the problem.

====== CHANGES THRU 40.078 ARE IN MXG 40.04 DATED Jun 29,2022 ==========
Change 40.078 MXG 39.09 and earlier fail with APAR OA61811/OA62502,
VMAC7072 due to an MXG error for SMF 72 Subtype 3 TYPE72GO that
Jun 25, 2022 failed to test for new fields after the last segment,
which caused INPUT mis-alignment and invalid data values.
PTFs: z/OS 2.3 UJ07991
PTFs: z/OS 2.4 UJ07990
PTFs: z/OS 2.5 UJ07989
-WE STRONGLY SUGGEST YOU INSTALL THE CURRENT MXG 40.04
WHICH AVOIDS THE COMPLEXITY OF THE BELOW CIRCUMVENTION
AND PROVIDES SIGNIFICANT OTHER ENHANCEMENTS AFTER YOUR .
BACKLEVEL VERSION. PLEASE USE THE FORM AT
HTTPS://WWW.MXG.COM/SOFTWARE_DOWNLOAD_REQUEST
You can circumvent this MXG error by:
-Downloading files at http://www.mxg.com/downloads/
The APAR inserted new fields in SMF 72 Subtype 3 TYPE72GO
that exposed an MXG coding error that failed to test for
new added fields after the last new segment, causing the
INPUT misalignment and invalid data values to be created.
There MAY be INVALID DATA FOR R723IFAT messages or other
fields printed, but those are accidental and there might
not be ANY log messages that the error occurred. And even
if there are INVALID DATA messages, they do not set a
CONDITION CODE, so there may be no clue on the log that
the error occurred.
MXG 39.39 thru MXG 40.03 correctly input the new data.
but only this change or MXG 40.04 has the protection for
additional new fields.
Change 40.077 -Variables SYNCNCIN SYNCNCON SYNCKEXN are added and they
FORMATS are decoded by format $MGSYNNG. Format $MGSYNEQ updated
VMACSYNC for 'C9'X for SORTL.
Jun 24, 2022 -Format $MGSYNNG for Reason Code is missing values of
Nov 14, 2022 '06'x '07'x '0F' '10'x '11'x '13'x '18'x
Nov 21, 2022 -Variable SYNCEQLS is a multi-bit flag variable that is
correctly decoded, but to identify SORTL was used, you
must test the values of '08'x or 'C9'x so now there are
eight one=byte variables for each bit for simpler tests:
SYNSOTRP='SORTOUT*DATA*STRIPING?'
SYNSITRP='SORTIN*DATA*STRIPING?'
SYNBPSI ='BATCHPIPES*MVS*DATASET*SORTIN?'
SYNBPDS ='BATCHPIPES*MVS*DATASET*PRESENT?'

VMAC119 only one bit was tested, but the field can have multiple
Jun 14, 2022 bits so the fields now are bit-tested ('1.......'B).
Thanks to Tom White, Bank of America, USA.
Thanks to Charlie Carlson, Bank of America, USA.
Change 40.072 Hardcoded limit of 99 DDs in VMXGSET limited VGETDDS.
VGETDDS Limit replaced by better logic with no limit; IBM has
VMXGSET increased the maximum number of generations to 999.

Change 40.071 Explanation of DB2 differences with PROC COMPARE.
VMACDB2 -DB2ACCT QB1C/QB2C/QB3C/QB4C suffix HPG/HRE/HRF/HWF/HWR
VMACDB2H and SWU are always missing values after Change 39.200,
Jun 5, 2022 they were replaced by SYIT/SYI/IOC/RSV3/RSV2/RSV1.
All other DB2ACCT variables matched.
-Datetime variables QWHSSTCK BEGTIME ENDTIME MXG 39.04+
(Change 39.099) were 26 seconds early due to MXG logic
that creates DB2GMTDB GMT Offset (IBM does not provide)
which incorrectly thought leap seconds were included in
the TODSTAMP fields. The subtraction was removed.
BUT: No site ever reported that 26 second delta!
-DB2STAT4 QW0225 variables are larger; were 4 bytes now 8,
and _REAL now includes _AUX & _DPAGE. (and AUX is 12288).
Variable QW0225_WARN is corrected to bytes from blocks.
-Datasets DB2ACCTR DB2ACCTW DB2STAT1 and DB2STAT2 match.
-Dataset DB2ACCTB variables QBACCIOD/SYI/SYIT are also
missing after Change 39.200 which reused their slots..
-All Q8ACxxxx and Q8STxxxx variables are only populated
with DB2NETEZZA.
Change 40.071 SMF42 Subtype 6 enhanced with new TYPE42DS variables:
VMAC42 S42JDVER='VERSION*NUMBER'
Jun 2, 2022 S42JDST1='STEP*NUMBER'
S42JDSTN='STEP*NAME'
Change 40.070 Support for z16 HIS SMF 113 data.
VMAC113 -Many labels are changed, and different counters are used
ASUM113 for RNI and the other metrics so the default support in
Jun 2, 2022 40.03 is only for the z16 metrics. You will need to use
separate jobs/steps to process each hardware platform.
For the z/15 SMF you would use
//SYSIN DD *
%LET MACKEEP= MACRO _XLA113 _XLA113F %
and for the z/16 SMF you would use
//SYSIN DD *
%LET MACKEEP= MACRO _XLA113 _XLA113G %
(or just use the default without a %LET statement.

-ZRBDNG NEW Dataset:
Await Test Data to update ASMRMFV and then VMACRMFV.
Change 40.067 -Service policy selection correction post-IPL checking to
ASMRMFV enable sample set BEG/END time to coincide policy's.
May 30, 2022 -Cosmetic: correct RMFV008 DSORG alignment
-Cosmetic: match ASM field names to match VMACRMFV
-Restored REDID type variables to correct type
-Errors processing UWDG3 record corrected.
-Two sites have received CC=4 due to the BEG/END & REDIT
change, because IBM Data Gatherer Support has been unable
to replicate the warning, and we need to know if other
sites have the issue. If so, please use SENDVSAM to send
your VSAM RMF III file so we can get it to IBM support.
-It is also possible to get CC=4 for "WARNING:DEAD SPACE"
but we are examining if that should be INFORMATIONAL for
the next iteration of ASMRMFV.
Change 40.066. Variable ECMTSTMP in z/VM dataset VXSYTEPM was wrong; it
VMACVMXA was not scaled by 128 microseconds.

May 31, 2022
Change 40.063. Variables DSAPTHTM JVMTHDTM MAXHTDTM in CICSTRAN are
VMAC110 correct if UTILEXCL was used to create your IMACEXCL,
May 24, 2022 but those variables were NOT divided by 4096 (for STCK)
if you didn't use UTILEXCL and didn't have an IMACEXCL.
This change adds the missing /4096 for those variables.
And WTOTIOTM was also wrong because it includes DSAPTHTM

-These variables were retained from ZRBSSHG3 and output in
ZRBBDSIH and the six ZRBSVCx datasets, but they are now
removed because they are either missing or have wrong
values, retained from from a prior sample set when there:
are multiple sample sets input:

SSHTIEND SSHRMFVN SSHMPRNR SSHGOMNT
-If you use PROC APPEND, you MUST specify FORCE and NOWARN

Change 40.050 -MXG 40.01, SMF30 ABEND with z/16 SMF or APAR OA61511 due
VMAC30 to MXG coding error for new Crypto counters. Line 1812
Apr 22, 2022 IF OFFPROD GE 193 THEN DO; in VMAC30 needs to be GE 220
to circumvent this error. That APAR was in RSU2301.
Change 40.049 An extra paren in the Dataset Label for IFCID 100 and 101
VMAC102 did not impact their creation, but VMXGPRAL died when it
Apr 20, 2022 tried to print those dataset labels.

-Support for Z16 Hardware ICSM-CEX8S for Dilithium 6-5 R3,
and 8-7 R3 Support in CCA and PKCS, Kyber in CCA/PKCS.
Thanks to Luis Mendoza, BKFS, USA.
Change 40.044 No impact, but three TYPE70 variables are now reserved:
VMAC7072 SMF70MDL_CBP SMF70MCR_CBP and SMF70NCR_CBP were intended
Apr 7, 2022 to be populated for the CBP (Container Based Processor)
engine which was never implemented, and IBM confirms
there is no plan to do so going forward. The CBP fields
replaced the discontinued zAAP fields. MXG was updated to
support the ESP sites that also never happened. All zAAP
variable's names were unchanged, but CBP was added to all
labels; I don't intend to remove the CBP text..
Change 40.043 Replaced with Change 40.067.
Change 40.042 CICS/TS 6.1 BETA 25 removed fields 291 (SOCPSCT) and 293
VMAC110 (SOPSHWM) from CICSTRAN records. INCOMPATIBLE.
Apr 4, 2022

VMXGUOW and you did not ask for MQ data (MXGMQAdd=yes) you could
Apr 4, 2022 get an error LIBREF PDB NOT FOUND.
Thanks to Roger Lowe, NT Government, AUSTRALIA
Change 40.040 In May 2021 negative values in DB2 QPACZITM Package Ziip
TECHNOTE time was reported to IBM. The error is addressed by APAR
Mar 31, 2022 PH40410 with PTF UI79705 for DB2 V12.1. This error
impacts users of external stored procedures and UDFs when
a stored procedure or UDF is cancelled in the middle of
its processing. The SP/UDF recovery processing will get
control, and in that recovery processing, code is missing
or incorrect to record the times for the DB2 Accounting
Record. Code was added or fixed in the cancel thread
scenario.
Thanks to Glenn Bowman, Wakefern, USA.
Change 40.039 z/OS 2.5 TYPE 0 IPL record lengths 78 and 83 were not in
VMAC0 the list of valid record lengths causing ***VMAC0.ERROR

Mar 25, 2022 for values of 00.000.00-00:00 or all zeroes.
Thanks to Pier-Pascal Jouilin, SOCGEN, FRANCE
Change 40.036 -ASMRMFV ZEROLP logic has been corrected to properly build
ASMRMFV CPCDB records. With 39.227, the logical processor
ADOCRMFV sections were padded with binary zeros which tripped up
Mar 22, 2022 VMACRMFV analysis of the CPCDB records.
CHANGE 40.035 Variables SMF70GMU, SMF70CPA, and SMF70WLA were missing
VMXG70PR values in dataset ASUMCELP.
Apr 23, 2022 This is not yet implemented. Contact Support.
CHANGE 40.034 TYPE 70 BLOCKED WORKLOAD variables SMF70PMT and SMF70PMU
VMAC7072 were corrected. SMF70PMU is rounded up to next 1% in the
Mar 21, 2022 RMF Report, but MXG has left the actual value.
Thanks to Flavio Lima, Kyndryl, USA.
CHANGE 40.033 VM Accounting VMID='C0'x and USER='RCSC' INVALID DATA FOR
TYPEVM CPUMODEL because the format of the record changes and the

protected.
Thanks to Linda Berkley, DISA, USA.
====== CHANGES THRU 40.032 ARE IN MXG 40.01 DATED Mar 4, 2022 =========
CHANGE 40.032 -If you ran VMXGUOW in a different SAS session than the
ASUMUOW one that created the input data sets, VMACDB2,VMAC110 and
VMXGUOW VMAC116 members are needed to resolve MACROs, but MXG
Mar 17, 2022 39.39 and earlier did not include VMAC116, causing zero
obs in the MQ data since the step would try to use the
_LTY116 and _LTY1161 which do not exist without VMAC116.
-ASUMUOW example in comments was updated.
Thanks to Nagaraj Pudukotai,

VMACSVIE UNDOC bytes after IMTR_TRN_CLASS1 should be after USERID.
Mar 2, 2022 Select WHEN statements had underscore in text that should
be dashes. Variable IMTR_DAC_DBDLET was added to KEEP and
to MACRO _DR3ADA

Thanks to Don Cleveland, KYNDRYL, USA
Change 40.029 ERROR: ARRAY SUBSCRIPT 51 OUT OF RANGE ARRAY ALHTNEXT.
VMACRMFV The default array size of 50 lock holders was too small;
Mar 2, 2022 the temporary arrays were increased to 500 taking only
2Mib virtual storage to eliminate any exposure.
Thanks to Randy Schlueter, Fiserv, USA.
Change 40.028 -ASMRMFV now accepts PARM='F=Y,T=Y' syntax which caused
ASMRMFV CC=8 in 39.39 (and EA 40.01) due to Change 39.100.

Feb 8, 2022
Thanks to Jan Tielemans, KBC, BELGIUM.
Change 40.017 The TYPE30_4/TYPE30_5 dataset variables EXCPTOTL/EXCPNODD
VMAC30 IOTMTOTL/IOTMNODD counts are wrong for jobs/steps that
Feb 7, 2022 have MULTIDD='Y' records. These are additional SMF 30
records created when there are more DDs than will fit in
one 32K record and they contain the extra TODD counts.
The "real" step record that contains the address space
EXCPTOTL/IOTMTOTL counts has MULTIDD=' ' with some TODD
counts, but NODD=TOTL-TODD can't be calculated in that
MULTIDD=' ' record because of the TODD counts that are in
those other MULTIDD='Y' records. And NODD can't be
calculated in those records that don't have the TOTLs.
The logic to combine those MULTIDD='Y' records and to
create a single TYPE30_4/TYPE30_5 obs with correct counts
is in the BUILDPDB logic, and you can use this example to
create only the PDB.STEPS and PDB.JOBS datasets and use
them in place of TYPE30_4 and TYPE30_5:
%LET MXGANALID=NO;
%LET MACFILE= %QUOTE (
IF ID=6 OR ID=26 OR (ID=30 AND SUBTYPE IN (1,4,5) ); );

Change 40.016 z/OS 1.12 and 1.13 write SMF 42 Subtype 5 with LENSR=96
VMAC42 that MXG detected and deleted with a warning message, but
Feb 2, 2022 APAR OA53110 (2017) that added the new zHPF fields and
set LENSR=160 is not available for these back-levals.
However the records are valid for those 96 bytes and are
now output with no message.
Thanks to Jeffrey Fracas, ENSONO. USA.
Change 40.015 ASCII execution. If you use VMXGALOC and choose to send
VMXGALOC DB2 or CICS to a different location than the BASEDIR=
Jan 28, 2022 directory, the aging of directories failed because it was
looking for that directory. Now, BASEDB2 and BASECICS are
used.
NOTE: VMXGALOC only deletes the directory indicated by
the KEEP&&&&- parameters so if you have been running for
a while you may need to do a manual cleanup. Assume today
is Jan 28 and you used CICSKEEP=3. CICS220127 would be
created and CICS220124 would be deleted leaving
220125-220127 but any prior to 220124 would remain and
would need to be manually deleted
Thanks to Jose Rivera, UPS, USA.
Change 40.014 TYPE 16 SORT records can have offsets that point beyond
VMAC16 the record length causing INPUT STATEMENT EXCEEDED error.
Jan 28, 2022 Now prints TRUNCATED SMF 16 RECORD INDS or OTDS log
message that identifies the job that created the record,
and the record is deleted. One bad record was created
by a job using PGM=ICETOOL that had an ABEND S222.

TYPEBVIR line 55 in VMACBVIR. They are now removed and only the
Jan 24, 2022 JFCB=BVIRJFCB is set for z/OS execution.
Thanks to Jorge Fong, DOITT.NYC.
Change 40.007 -If you did not specify an offset for a system 0 was used
TIMEBILD and if you did not specify a GMT offset 0 was used again.
VMAC30 Now both produce MXGNOTEs and the offset is still set to
Jan 31, 2022 0 and the GMT offset is to the same value as the offset.
-Variable INTBTIME was corrected for TIMEBILD.
Thanks to Rob G. Hollingum, HSBC,
Change 40.006 Very odd problem from an ASCII user. It appears that
VMXGSUM their IMACSHFT member may have been created using a
VMXGRMFI TEXT EDITOR that leaves out the CRLF at the end of each
Jan 23, 2022 line creating a long string. When that string hit the
incode logic it choked and probably broke a line in the
middle or a word. THere were two solutions and both are
implemented. First VMXGSUM was modified and the COMPBL
function is used to get rid of blanks. Second the
redundant IMACSHFT call in the first TYPE75 summary was
removed. Error surfaced as INDEX VALUE error on log.
Change 40.005 R742PUTx variables in TYPE74PA were divided by 1E-6 after
VMAC74 being INPUT with INFORMAT &PIB.8.6 which also divides the
Jan 19, 2022 PIB8 value by one million.

TECHNOTES
TECHNOTE 39.012 z/OS SAS ODS may need to increase MEMLEAVE option.
TECHNOTE 39.008 z/OS SAS ODS can use zIIPs, Java error may prevent.
All of these enhancements are described in the Change Log, below.
II. SAS Version requirement information:
SAS Versions
The current version nomenclature is SAS 9.4 TS1M7 (9.4M7),
"M7", or with options VERSIONLONG;
"SAS 9.4 (9.04.01M7P080520)" on z/OS
9.4 (TS04.01M7P08052020)" on ASCII.
SAS V9.4 M7 is RECOMMENDED, but MXG executes without error
using SAS Version 9.4 M0-M2 or M4-M6 or SAS Version 9.3 M0-M2.
SAS V9.4 M5 is REQUIRED with z/OS 2.3 with Eight-Byte USERIDs
for Interactive TSO (DMS) SAS Sessions. SAS Note 61339.
Only on z/OS, SAS 9.4 "M5" requires MXG 35.36+ because it adds the
NOERRORSTOP option to protect all MXG PROC SQLs from the M5 defect
described in SAS Note 61672. But SAS apparently does not plan for
a defect correction since the MXG Circumvention solves for MXG and
the text of 61672 simply describes the circumvention needed because
MXG's use of OPTIONS OBS=0 without NOERRORSTOP exposed the defect.
See Change 35.309 for more details on using NOERRORSTOP for your
own PROC SQLs.
SAS V9.4 M3 is NOT RECOMMENDED. See Change 36.128 SAS Note 61906
that reports 40% Increase in CPU time with M3.
SAS V9.4 (ALL) and SAS V9.3 (ALL) are at LEVEL A SAS Support.
SAS V9.3 SAS 9.3 TS1M2 was RECOMMENDED. SAS 9.3 TS1M1 works ok.
But SAS 9.3 at TS1M0, the HOT FIX for SAS Note SN-43828,
see CHANGE 29.169, IS REQUIRED:
The %MACRO compiler error is in processing %LET
statements. While only two MXG members failed
repeatedly in MXG QA tests on z/OS, there were random
%LET errors in ASCII QA tests, so ANY use of %LET
statement on ANY platform are vulnerable to this
error, as the %MACRO compiler is SAS portable code,
used on all platforms. So this is NOT just an MXG
error, but impacts ALL SAS programs.
SAS9.3 is LEVEL A support from SAS.
SAS V9.2 Was recommended, prior to 9.3, and was error-free with
MXG 26.03 SAS Hot Fix for SAS Note 37166 is required to
use a VIEW with the MXG EXITCICS/CICSFIUE CICS/DB2
Decompression Infile Exit. but SAS V9.2 does execute on
that platform.
9.2 is LEVEL B Support from SAS, as of Sep 30, 2013.
SAS V9.1.3 on z/OS 1.10 requires SAS Hot Fix for SN-35332 and is at
Support level C by SAS Institute, Sep 30, 2013.
SAS V9.1.3 is NOT supported by SAS on Windows SEVEN.
SAS V8.2 SUPPORT LEVEL C BY SAS INSTITUTE; NOT ALL OF MXG WORKS!
with SAS 8.2.
SAS 8.2 is Level C Support from SAS as of Dec 31, 2011.
JCL in MXGSAS94 or MXGSAS93 can be used, or MXGNAMES can be used
***************************************************************
As documented in Change 27.356, for SAS V9.2 or later):
The standard SAS JCL Procedure can be used for MXG with SAS V9.2+
// EXEC SAS,CONFIG='MXG.SOURCLIB(CONFIMXG)'
//MXGNAMES DSN=MXG.USERID.SOURCLIB(MXGNAMES),DISP=SHR
But CONFIMXG is required for sites with NLS issues, and you must
use JCLCONFI to create/update the MXG.FORMATS catalog if you use
CONFIG='MXG.SOURCLIB(CONFIMXG)'.
For no NLS, you can use the MXGSAS94 JCL Procedure example.
***************************************************************
MXG 26.03 thru MXG 36.11 will execute under the previously listed
SAS Versions on all supported platforms
Unrelated to the above SAS Note/Hot Fix, ODS users will want to
use MXG 29.06+, because SAS V9.3 did expose incompatibilities in
MXG code for ODS reporting, that were fixed in MXG Version 29.06.
See Changes 29.159 and 29.169.
And, only for z/OS 1.10 with SAS V9.1.3 with ANY version of MXG,
the SAS Hot Fix for SN-35332 is REQUIRED (to be completely safe).
Without this Hot Fix, "LIBREF XXXXXXXX IS NOT ASSIGNED" errors
can occur even though //XXXXXXXX DD is a valid SAS Data Library.
This error ONLY occurs with z/OS 1.10 and SAS V9.1.3; it does
NOT occur with SAS V9.2, nor with z/OS 1.9. It can be
circumvented by adding a LIBNAME statement that specifies the
ENGINE name. See the Technical Note in Newsletters for SN-35332.
Note that SAS V9.1.3 is now at "Level B" Support from SAS.
Old MXG code may continue to execute with SAS V8.2, but V8 is now
"Level C" support from SAS Institute, and there are known errors
in V8.2 that are only fixed in SAS V9. I no longer QA with V8.2;
While many MXG programs (accidentally) will still execute under
V8.2, I cannot guarantee that all of MXG executes error free.
PLEASE INSTALL V9.2/V9.3/V9.4, TO AVOID FIXED PROBLEMS!
If you are absolutely stuck on V8, you need to copy MXG member
V8GETOBS into USERID.SOURCLIB and rename to VGETOBS.
MXG Software has not executed under SAS V6 in many years.
The "PDB" libraries (i.e., SAS data libraries) must be created by
SAS V8 or later, but any of those data libraries can be read or
updated by the SAS Versions that MXG Supports, above.
For SAS Version V9.3:
SAS 93 TS1M1 is RECOMMENDED; for TS1M0, SAS Hot Fix in SAS Note
SN43828 is REQUIRED. See text of Change 29.159.
With SAS 93 TS1M1, (or TS1M0 with that Hot Fix) MXG Versions
26.03 or later execute under SAS V9.3 on all platforms.
SAS Data Libraries created by SAS V8.2, V9.1.3, V9.2, V9.3 and
SAS V9.4 are interchangeable and can be read/written by any of
those versions, provided they are on the same platform.
BUT: on ASCII, the 32-bit and 64-bit SAS versions are NOT the
same "platform" and attempting to read/use the FORMAT catalog
created on one of those "platforms" on the other "platform"
will error out to remind you of that difference!
SAS V9.4 did change some V9.3 ODS processing defaults and syntax
that might cause errors with MXG 29.05 or earlier; MXG 29.06,
Change 29.160 documents the major revisions made in MXG to fully
support ODS, and MXG 29.06 is STRONGLY recommended for ODS with
SAS V9.3 or SAS V9.4.
For (Archaic) SAS Version V9.2 (TS1M0):
Big Picture: SAS Version V9.2 is COMPATIBLE with MXG Software.
On z/OS, SAS changed the DSNAMES for some of the SAS libraries,
so you do need to use the new MXGSAS92 JCL Procedure for MXG,
but it still uses the CONFIGV9 configuration file.
****************************************************************
However, NEW, and documented in Change 27.356, with SAS V9.2+:
The standard SAS JCL Procedure can be used for MXG:
// EXEC SAS,CONFIG='MXG.SOURCLIB(CONFIMXG)'
//MXGNAMES DD DSN=MXG.USERID.SOURCLIB(MXGNAMES),DISP=SHR
instead of using the MXGSAS92 JCL Procedure example.
****************************************************************
SAS Data Libraries are compatible for V8.2, V9.1.3, V9.2, V9.3,
and V9.4. "PDBs" can be read/written interchangeably between
these SAS versions.
MXG Versions 26.03+ do execute with SAS V9.2 with NO WARNINGS
and with NO ERRORS reported.
Pre-MXG 26.03, SAS Hot Fix F9BA07 was required to suppress a
new SAS V9.2 WARNING, that on z/OS, set CC=4 (condition/return
code). That warning is harmless (to MXG code) and all MXG
created SAS datasets were correct, even with that warning.
The ONLY exposure was ONLY on z/OS, and ONLY if condition code
tests are used in your MXG jobstreams.
SAS Version 9.2 requires z/OS 1.7 or later, both officially as
documented by SAS Institute, and actually as V9.2 fails with 0C4
under z/OS 1.4.
For SAS V9.1.3 on z/OS with Service Pack 4:
On z/OS 1.10, Hot Fix SN-35332 is REQUIRED.
CONFIGV9 now specifies V9SEQ instead of V6SEQ. As V6SEQ does
not support long length character variables, it can't be used.
SAS V9.1.3 with current Service Pack 4 is STRONGLY RECOMMENDED.
For (back-level!) SAS V9.1 or V9.1.2 on z/OS:
SN-013514 is REQUIRED to be able to read datasets that were
created by V6SEQ (tape) engine.
SN-012437 is REQUIRED to prevent creation of corrupt/unreadable
datasets with tape engines V7SEQ, V8SEQ, or V9SEQ.
Both fixes ARE included in SAS V9.1.3, but V9.1 or 9.1.2 is NOT
SAFE without those two hot fixes, and if you do NOT have those
two fixes on 9.1 or 9.1.2, you MUST set V6SEQ in CONFIGV9.
With MXG 23.02 or later, V9SEQ is the default sequential engine
specified in CONFIGV9, but if you are back at SAS V9.1 or V9.1.2
you MUST install the two hot fixes listed above.
For SAS Version 8.2, HotFix Bundle 82BX08 (or later) was required
as an absolute minimum level when that SAS Version was last
supported by MXG Software. PLEASE INSTALL SAS V9.x ASAP.
Sequential Engine Status:
V9SEQ was fixed in V9.1.3; it has been default in CONFIGV9.
V8SEQ was always safe under SAS V8.2, but it wasted CPU time
by always compressing when writing in tape format.
V6SEQ, if used under V9.1.2, requires SN-013514, but V6SEQ
should no longer be used, as it does not support long
length variables.
GENERAL STATEMENT FOR MXG QA TESTS AND SAS VERSIONS:
MXG QA tests are executed with V9.4, on z/OS, on Windows TEN and
Linux on 64-bit hardware, but MXG users execute MXG on MANY
(ALL??) SAS platforms, including AIX, Linux, and other 'nix'
variants, on many different hardware platforms, and since they all
work we don't need to list them. If SAS executes so does MXG.
Prior QA tests have been run with all SAS releases available at
that time on Linux RH8 on Intel, on Solaris v2.8 on a Model V880,
and on HP-UX v11.11 model rp5470, confirming full compatibility.
MXG should execute under ALL SUPPORTED SAS VERSIONS on EVERY SAS
platform without errors! Each new MXG version is also tested with
the SAS ITSV/ITRM product by the ITRM developers.
III. WPS Version requirement information:
DO NOT USE 4.03.01 nor 4.04.00, INVALID CPU BUSY in TYPE70.
Error was introduced in 4.03.01 and 4.04.00. See Change 39.171.
Must be at 4.03.02.00.8569+ or 4.04.00.03.3277+/
WPS Version 4.01 USER 4037 ABEND, See Change 37.116.
WPS Version 4.0 reportedly fixed version 3 problems.
WPS Version 3.02 (03.02.03.00.016221) is required Change 34.266.
and other errors with 3.00 or 3.01 have been corrected in the
current WPS version.
WPS Version 3.01.1 maintenance level 731 required for PDB to tape
WPS Version 3.01 (also shows 3.1.1) is required for AUTOEZOS.
WPS Version 3.01 is required for MOBILWRK, PICTURE fails in 2.5.
WPS Version 3.01 executed MXG 32.03 BUILDPDB with no errors.
WPS Version 3.0 requires MXG 31.09 (see Change 31.251).
WPS Version 2.4 required MXG 27.09 (see Change 27.239).
WPS Version 2.3.5 required MXG 27.05.
See NEWSLETTERS for WPS Support Statement.
WPS prints this message ERROR: COULD NOT CREATE DATA SET "PDB.ID"
when the LIBNAME PDB does not exist; there would also have been a
prior log message NOTE: Library PDB does not exist as the clue.
IV. MXG Version Required for Hardware, Operating System Release, etc.
MXG is usually NOT sensitive to z/OS Hardware changes, but:
The z15 and z15 T02 processors INCOMPATIBLY changed the SMF 113
records by inserting 32 new EXTEND and 4 CRYPTO counters, causing
ARRAY SIZE EXCEEDED with BUILDPDB which processes the SMF 113s.
Support for counter changes for both models was in MXG 37.08.
If you use MIPS in reports, the format $MGRMIPS provides the
MIPS/MSU value for each processor; the z15 values were updated
in MXG 37.08, and the z15 TO2 values were updated in MXG 38.04.
These MXG programs use $MGRMIPS: ASUMMIPS GRAFCEC GRAFWLM
GRAFWRKX and TYPERMFV (RMF III).
The z/14 also inserted SMF 113 fields, supported in MXG 36.07.
The z/13 with 61+ LPARs requires MXG 32.05 IF NON-SMT MODE.
The z/EC12 with 85+ engines required MXG 30.07.
Support for 255 engines was added in MXG 31.04.
And z/VM on the z15 requires MXG 38.02, PRCMFC/MFM COUNTERS caused
HARDWARE COUNTER messages, PRCMFC/PRCMFM no obs. Change 38.048.
The z13 processor INCOMPATIBLY CHANGED, the new SMT-MODE RMF 70, and
MXG 34.03 was REQUIRED (PCTCPUBY WRONG!), to read the SMT-format RMF
(which are written if you have zIIP engines AND have enabled the new
PROCVIEW CORE option for Multi-Threading, even if only one thread is
enabled).
The new zEDC/EADM compression hardware requires MXG 38.05 to support
new metrics.

Note: Asterisk by the version number means the Version number
was changed (to the MXG version required), after an earlier
MXG version was listed as supporting this product release,
usually because an APAR modified the product's data records.
Or a coding error in MXG could be the reason for the change!

V. Incompatibilities and Installation of MXG 39.39.
1. Incompatibilities introduced in MXG 39.39:
a. Changes in MXG architecture made between 39.39 and prior versions
that can introduce known incompatibilities.
IF YOU HAVE MEMBER E2TY70 IN YOUR USERID.TAILORING SOURCE LIBRARY,
YOU MUST CHANGE _LTY70 to _WTY70 in that member. CHANGE 38.105.
The error before this correction will be:
ERROR: DATA SET "PDB.TYPE70" was not specified on the DATA stmt.
2. Installation and re-installation procedures are described in detail
in member INSTALL (which also lists common Error/Warning messages a
new user might encounter), and sample JCL is in member JCLINSTT for
SAS Version 9.
MXG Definitions with regard to MXG Software Changes:
COMPATIBLE A change in a data record which did not alter either
COMPAT the location or the format of all of the previously-
kept MXG variables is COMPATIBLE, and you can continue
to run the old version of MXG software, which will read
the new records without error, but none of any new data
fields or any new record subtypes will be created/kept
until you install the MXG Version with this change.
INCOMPAT A change in a data record that causes the current MXG
version to fail, visibly or invisibly, with or without
error conditions or messages, and the output datasets
may contain wrong values and incomplete observations,
and/or observations may have been lost.
You MUST install the new MXG Version with this change
to process data records that have been INCOMPATIBLY
changed by their vendor.
TOLERATE In other words, the old MXG Version TOLERATES the new
data records, if they are COMPATIBLY changed.
EXPLOIT Once you use the new MXG Version to read the changed
records, all of the new fields, subtypes, etc, that are
described in this change will be created in the MXG
datasets, so the new MXG Version EXPLOITS the new data,
and you have full support of the new data records.
An MXG Version never "expires" nor "goes out of Support". When
you put in a new product/subsystem/Release/APAR that incompatibly
changed its records then you must install the current MXG Version
or at least be using the minimum level of MXG that is currently
documented in the preceding list in section IV.
COSMETIC Some Changes will start with COSMETIC. This indicates
that that change only alters a displayed value or may
be a spelling error in a label, but it is "cosmetic"
in that it ONLY affected the display, and the output
data sets created are NOT impacted by this change.
VI. Online Documentation of MXG Software.
MXG Documentation is now described in member DOCUMENT.
See also member INDEX, but it may be overwhelming.
VII. Changes Log
--------------------------Changes Log---------------------------------
You MUST read each Change description to determine if a Change will
impact your site. All changes have been made in this MXG Library.
Member CHANGES always identifies the actual version and release of
MXG Software that is contained in that library.
The CHANGES selection on our homepage at http://www.MXG.com
is always the most current information on MXG Software status,
and is frequently updated.
Important changes are also posted to the MXG-L ListServer, which is
also described by a selection on the homepage. Please subscribe.
The actual code implementation of some changes in MXG SOURCLIB may be
different than described in the change text (which might have printed
only the critical part of the correction that need be made by users).
Scan each source member named in any impacting change for any comments
at the beginning of the member for additional documentation, since the
documentation of new datasets, variables, validation status, and notes,
are often found in comments in the source members.

Thanks to Arthur Koerner, CITIBANK,USA.
Change 39.220 ASUM and TRND members for MQMACCT (SMF116) dataset.
ASUMMQAC QWHSSTCK is used to set the interval, but is a UTC/GMT
TRNDMQAC value. See the comments in the members.
Dec 17, 2021
Change 39.219 UTILWORK creates RMFINTRV workload definitions from your
UTILWORK TYPE72GO data, with a Workload for each Service Class.
Dec 17, 2021 You can use Reporting Class, but UTILWORK will detect
if the sum of Reporting Class CPUTM is less than the
sum of Service Class CPUTM (which happens when not all
of your workloads are in a Reporting Class), and UTILWORK
will revert to using Service Classes.
Read the extensive comments in UTILWORK.

ANALDB2R
VFMT102
Dec 16, 2021

ANALTAPE
Dec 15, 2021
Change 39.215 SAS Version 9.3 TS3M1,"ERROR 71-185 MAX function call
VMACSVIE does not have enough arguments" for this statement that
Dec 10, 2021 was introduced in MXG 39.04
MAXTIME=MAX(IMTR_ESS_REQ_MAX);
but SAS 9.4 does NOT raise that error! Correct statement
MAXTIME=MAX(MAXTIME,IMTR_ESS_REQ_MAX);
This error occurred in TESTUSR1.
Thanks to Pete Osborne, HSBC, ENGLAND.
Change 39.214 -Support for SAS Viya INCOMPATIBLE Version format change
GRAFDB2B from '9.4' to 'V.03.05', i.e., from numeric to character.
RMFINTRV ERROR:"A character operand . . . in the %EVAL function
VGETENG where a numeric operand is required, condition was V."
VMXGINIT MXG uses the &SYSVER macro variable to determine the SAS
VMXGODSC version, which always has been a numeric value. Because
VMXGRMFI &SYSVER is a Read-Only macro variable, new &SSYSVER is
VMXGSUM created in VMXGINIT and set to 9.4 for Viya and set to
VMXGUOW &SYSVER for the rest. All references to &SYSVER were
Dec 15, 2021 changed to &SSYSVER (54 members).
-VGETENG, the %EVAL was removed.
RMFINTRV/VMXGRMFI workload names permit 32 characters.
-VMXGSUM had code to set the length of variable names to 8
to be in KEEP list for V6 compatibility, but there are
many long length variables that could have been truncated
and causing Variable Not Found errors, length is now 32.
-We do not test MXG under SAS Viya, but so far, this is
the sole problem that has been encountered.
SAS Viya provides a CAS Server (Cloud Analytic Server)
which automatically multi-threads across as many
servers as you define, but some SAS statements can NOT
be multi-threaded, and that includes both INFILE and
INPUT statements, which are re-directed to a single-
threaded workspace server, and which limits the value
of Viya to MXG.
Thanks to Christian Lechtenberg, CONCORDIA, GERMANY
====== CHANGES THRU 39.213 ARE IN MXG 39.09 DATED Dec 2, 2021 ========
Change 39.213 Protection for TYPE6156 Catalog record segment with the
VMAC6156 2 byte length field populated but no data following,
Dec 2, 2021 causing an INPUT STATEMENT EXCEEDED ERROR.
Thanks to Bruce Hewson, CITIBANK, SINGAPORE.
Change 39.212 Support for RACF Unload Record Types 0207 and 05B0 are
VMACRACF now populated; previously only the header was output.
Dec 1, 2021
Thanks to Karl Laseki, American Chemical Society, USA.
Change 39.211 The TMS warning message DENSITY IS MISSING is removed and
VMACTMS5 variable DEN=0 is set when it is not available.
Nov 30, 2021
Change 39.210 Find probably MXG job executions, i.e., PROGRAM=:'SAS'
FNDMXGJB and both SOURCLIB and LIBRARY DDnames.
Nov 22, 2021
Change 39.209 The decoding of DB2 DBID/OBID from SMF 102 IFCID 105
VFMT102 has been a long time challenge, with mostly partial
ANALDB2R success, but now, all IDs are correctly decoded if there
Nov 17, 2021 is an IFCID 105 record. New parameter PRINTFMTS=YES will
PROC PRINT the input values to the $MGDB2DB and $MGDB2OB
formats.
Thanks to Chuck Hopf, Independent MXG Consultant, USA.
Change 39.208 DB2STATB variables QBSTAGET/QBSTASGE/QBSTASSE/QBSTASYN
VMACDB2 were not deaccumulated, causing the DB2STATS variables
Nov 17, 2021 QBnAGET/QBnASGE/QBnASSE/QBnASYN for the four sets of
buffer pool counters to also be incorrect.
Thanks to Johnny Meek, Fidelity FMR, USA.
Change 39.207 -Sysview dataset SV27DB2 variable PROGRAM (Package name)
FORMATS was changed from ASCII to EBCDIC, at least in V16. New
VMACSVIE variable PROGRAM_EB will contain the EBCDIC value.
Nov 23, 2021 -FORMAT MGD145S was updated for new values and applied
to variable STATETYPE_DB2 in SV27DB2 dataset.
-Variables TRANNUM,OTRANNUM,LASTTRANNUM are correctly
now INPUT as &PD.4 in SV27TRAN dataset.
-Forty pairs of _TIME, _COUNT variables added to SV27TRAN
dataset and alignment corrected.
-New fields were added to SV27PROG dataset.
Thanks to Martyn Jones, CPTGLOBAL, ENGLAND.
Change 39.206 FORMAT MG090CM for TYPE90A variable CMDMVS (SUBTYPE) is
FORMATS updated for CMDMVS values 35-41 to describe why each
Nov 15, 2021 record is created.
Thanks to Jim S. Horne, Lowe's, USA.
Change 39.205 Cosmetic. Variable BPHITRAT was correctly added to the
VMACDB2 PDB.DB2STATB in Change 39.160, created in the _SDB2STB
Nov 3, 2021 deacccumlate DATA step, but it was incorrectly added to
the _VDB2STB list of variables created in the SMF pass,
where is not is created. The only impact was a note
on the log, and only if your AUTOEXEC/CONFIGxx options
did not contain the MXG default OPTIONS DKROCOND=NOWARN,
which overrides the SAS WARN default. The variable was
removed from that KEEP= list. MXG exploits DKROCOND to
allow variables to exist in the KEEP= list even when they
are not created, for example for the optional CICSTRAN
variables, so they can be added when you tailor IMACICxx
members and not have to touch the KEEP= list..
Thanks to Harald Seifert, HUK-COBURG, GERMANY.
Change 39.204 The %MACRO DODSCRDT creates CREATEDATE from INFILEs but
DODSCRDT YEAR=INPUT(SUBSTR(&DSCB,10,1),?? IB1.)+1900;
Nov 2, 2021 will create YEAR=1772 in 2028 because the IB1. input will
see '80'x with the sign bit on. INPUT PIB1. corrects, and
the ?? was not required, since any byte value is valid.
Thanks to Declan Vibert, Worldprogramming, ENGLAND.
Change 39.203 SMF 82 Subtype 24 INPUT STATEMENT EXCEEDED RECORD LENGTH
VMAC82 because MXG expected label length of 64, but at least
Nov 2, 2021 since 2019, the length is shown as 72. This update
protects both lengths.
Thanks to Nick Varley, Precisely, USA.
Change 39.202 Protection for invalid BMC Control-D CSV records that
VMACCTLC did not have a pair of double quotes, and subsequent
Oct 23, 2021 records that did not have a valid datetime.
Change 39.201 MXG 39.06-39.08, ERROR: PHYSICAL FILE DOES NOT EXIST if
VMAC50 you have added SMF 50 (VTAM) processing to your BUILDPDB,
Oct 22, 2021 AND if your JCL does NOT have an //INSTREAM DD. Full text
ERROR: PHYSICAL FILE DOES NOT EXIST userid.INSTREAM.DATA
Debugging statement referencing INSTREAM was not removed.
The //INSTREAM DD is in all of the MXGSASxx JCL examples:
//INSTREAM DD UNIT=SYSDA,SPACE=(CYL,(1,20)),
// RECFM=FB,LRECL=80,BLKSIZE=0
and it is used in several MXG programs when MXG creates
SAS code "in stream" and then %INCLUDE INSREAM; is used
to execute that code.
Thanks to Wayne A. Schumack, USBank, USA.
Change 39.200 Support for DB2 zHyperlink new data.

Adding IMTR_DAC and IMTR_EVNT and IMRA_EVNT variables
will DOUBLE the size of the SV34TRAN (1658 per obs vs
812) and of the SV35TRAN (1147 vs 661), and they are
still available in the much smaller SV34DAC/SV34SUMM
and SV35EVNT datasets. Typically only a handful of
those variables will be populated in the transaction
observations, but they still take space. They can be
removed and only the IMS datasets written to //PDB with

Change 39.196 MXG 39.07. Change 39.183 added SMF6XSTCKE to TYPE6156,
VMAC6156 but the insert caused an INPUT STATEMENT EXCEEDED. The
Oct 7, 2021 code is bypassed until test data is received. You can use
%LET MACFILE= %QUOTE(IF ID IN (61,65,66)) THEN DELETE;
to circumvent, but request the new VMAC6156 from Support
Thanks to Jim S. Horne, Lowe's, USA.
Change 39.195 New parameters USEVMXGSET=YES & DEFER=YES adds OPEN=DEFER
BLDSMPDB to the SET statement when building weekly PDB. Use only
VSETMNTH when running on zOS and tape drives are at a premium and
Nov 26, 2021 daily PDBs are on tape. As always when using OPEN=DEFER
only variables that exist in the first dataset are
carried forward, so the first DDNAME should be the day of
the week pointed to by the WEEKSTART argument.
Thanks to Robert Olah, ENSONO, USA.
Change 39.194 Change 39.137 MXG39.05 CPUTOTTM incorrectly higher than
VMAC30 CPUTM because the calculation of SRVTCBTM which affects
Sep 30, 2021 CPUTOTTM was being done before the removal of ZIPUNITS.
Variables AVGWKSET CPUTOTTM CPUUNITS were corrected, but
the CPUTM, which is a direct value in the SMF record, has
always been correct. The CPUTOTTM based on Service Units
was created because at one time some folks incorrectly
thought the service unit based metric was significantly
more accurate than the recorded time.

Change 39.193 SELSMF program is similar to UTILGETM/VMXGGETM, to select
SELSMF and write SMF records of each type, but it adds SYSTEM
Oct 6, 2021 and for DB2 and CICS, the RELEASE to the criteria, and
writes the first 50 records for each selection. You can
also use MACFILE to choose which IDs you want to select;
see the example in comments.

IMACRMFV -z/OS 2.5 MXG RMF Monitor III support.
VMACRMFV -New MXG Support for 4 more RMF III tables:
Oct 8, 2021 CPUDB IQDG3 LOKG3 VRIG3
*** New Support ***
-Support for the RMF Monitor III CPU Data Block Table
(CPUDB) recently documented with z/OS 2.5 . The CPUDB
table has existed at least since z/OS 2.1.
-The CPUDB selection option is CPV (alias N). The CPUDB
filtering option is NOCPV (aliases -CPV, -N). CPUDB is
also selected if the BASIC select group option is used.
-The CPUDB is a companion table to the CPCDB and CPUG3
tables. If any one is selected all 3 are selected. If
any one is filtered all 3 are filtered.
-Support for the RMF Monitor III I/O Queuing Performance
Data Table (IQDG3) table recently documented with z/OS
2.5 . The IQDG3 table has existed at least since z/OS
2.1.
-The IQDG3 selection option is IQD (alias Q). The IQDG3
filtering option is NOIQD (aliases -IQD, -Q). IQDG3 is
also selected if the MOST group selection option is used.
-The IOQ parameter in the RMF III startup member defaults
to IOQ(DASD). Other device classes are also supported
for IOQ by RMF III. See the RMF User's Guide (z/OS 2.3
and earlier) or the Data Gatherer User's Guide (z/OS 2.4
and up) for more details. NOIOQ will suppress the
generation of IQDG3 table.
-Support for the RMF Monitor III Lock Performance Data
Table (LOKG3) table recently documented with z/OS 2.5 .
The LOKG3 table has existed at least since z/OS 2.1.
-The LOKG3 selection option is LOK (alias #). The LOKG3
filtering option is NOLOK (aliases -LOK, -#). LOKG3 is
also selected if the MOST group selection option is used.
-The LOCK parameter in the RMF III startup member defaults
to NOLOCK. NOLOCK will suppress the generation of LOKG3
table and related MXG data sets. Specify LOCK to
generate the LOKG3 table.
-Support for the RMF Monitor III VSAM RLS Information
Data Table (VRIG3) table recently documented with z/OS
2.5 .
-The VRIG3 selection option is VRI (alias $). The VRIG3
filtering option is NOVRI (aliases -VRI, -$). VRIG3 is
also selected if the MOST group selection option is used.
-The VRIG3 collection parameter in the RMF III startup
member defaults to VSAMRLS and data is grouped by storage
class. In addition, up to 50 VSAM data set sphere masks
may be specified. See the RMF User's Guide (z/OS 2.3 and
earlier) or the Data Gatherer User's Guide (z/OS 2.4 and
up) for more details. NOVSAMRLS will suppress the
generation of VRIG3 table and related MXG data sets.
*** Enhancements ***
-Auto Selection of any field in the CPCDB and CPUG3 table
when using an IF= expression for FDF will now Auto Select
all 3 CPU companion tables (CPCDB/CPUDB/CPUG3). Auto
Selection occurs when an IF= expression references a
field name in a table that has not been explicitly
selected.

====== CHANGES THRU 39.190 ARE IN MXG 39.07 DATED Sep 20, 2021 =======
Change 39.190 -ASMRMFV Field Data Filter (FDF) support for the RMF III
ADOCRMFV CPC data control block (CPCDB) and the Processor Data
ASMRMFV Control Block (CPUG3).
VMACRMFV -The Field Data Filter (FDF) feature of RMF III was added
Sep 19, 2021 in MXG Change 37.089 and supports filtering of raw or MXG
derived RMF data values when ASMRMFV reads the RMF III
VSAM file, reducing the size of the created RMFBSAM file
and the size of the result MXG PDB.
-RMF III table entries can be filtered by FDF based on one
or more numeric/character/bit fields using AND/OR logic.
FDF is intended for advanced MXG users building ad hoc
PDBs of RMF III data for studies and investigations.
-A z/OS LPAR is a z/VM guest if this message appears in
the ASMRMFV log:
RMFV009I ORIGIN : CPCNAME=VMGUEST
-NOTE: For LPARs running as z/VM guests the CPC LPAR and
Logical Processor Sections in the CPCDB table are created
by RMF III as binary zeros and cannot be filtered with
FDF. MXG PDB variables sourced from the CPC LPAR and
Logical Processor sections will have SAS missing values
in the result PDB.
In this case only the sparse CPCDB header will be written
to RMFBSAM. Any FDF filters for fields in either of
these two sections will be bypassed. They are NOT
counted as IGNORE in message RMFV080I.
-NOTE: For z/OS LPARs running as z/VM guests RMF III
creates the Home LPAR section in the CPCDB table as all
binary zeros and these fields cannot be filtered with
FDF. MXG PDB variables sourced from the Home LPAR
section will have SAS missing values in the result PDB.
In this case any FDF filters for fields in the Home LPAR
section will be counted as IGNORE in message RMFV080I.
-FDF VNT (Variable Name Table) derived floating point
variables with ASISASSC as a divisor were using a fixed
point binary divisor instead of a short floating point
divisor.
- FDF VNT entry for derived variable R745IORATE had
incorrect data type of FP instead of FPAVG.
-Further reduction of ASMRMFV assembly output with
NODXREF, NOESD, NORLD, USING(NOMAP) added to *PROCESS
statements.
-Expand RMFV092E table error message from 2 to 4 lines to
show more RMF III information at time of the error.
-FDF calculations for CRYG3 table MXG derived variables
CRYTIME0-CRYTIME5 were incorrect.
-FDF calculations for CRYG3 table MXG derived variables
CRYUTIL0-CRYUTIL5 were incorrect.
-FDF calculations for DVTG3 table for 6 MXG derived
variables DVTAVG* were incorrect. These were being
handled as floating point while the source fields are
fixed binary.
-FDF IF evaluation code not correctly checking for PCI
format code when comparing a variable that has one.
-FDF IF evaluation code tests for STOP/NOSTOP and
SYNC/NOSYNC for FDF SSHG3 table were incorrect.
-XCFSTAT variable was missing from XCFG3 FDF VNT table.
-Message RMFV017I now displays z/OS 2.5 when processing
RMF Monitor III data from that release.
-New filter options ZEROLP/NOZEROLP added for CPCDB table
processing. The default is NOZEROLP.
- ZEROLP says to output to RMFBSAM all LPAR sections and
their respective Logical Processors Sections from the
CPCDB table even if zero Logical Processors were defined
for an LPAR. This was the behavior of prior ASMRMFV
versions.
-NOZEROLP says to only output to RMFBSAM LPAR sections
from the CPCDB table that have a non-zero number of
Logical Processors defined. NOZEROLP is the default.
-ZEROLP/NOZEROLP option added to message RMFV006I.
-ASMRMFV no longer outputs zero Logical Processor Sections
to RMFBSAM for those undefined for a specific LPAR. The
CPCDB table reserves 240 Logical Processor Sections for
each LPAR. The actual number defined will be far less.
-In a test using a single RMF III VSAM data set with the
default NOZEROLP in effect output to RMFBSAM for the
CPCDB table was reduced by 8MB. Actual results may vary.
-In ASMRMFV detail and summary reports TOTAL BYTES OUTPUT
in message RMFV104I did not match ALL total of detail or
summary lines in message RMFV105I by a consistent value
of 3400 bytes less.
-First RMF and Z/OS Version numbers added to MXG01 record.
-Last RMF and Z/OS Version numbers added to MXG02 record.
-Data Dictionaries in the ADOCRMFV member have been
updated or added for all FDF supported RMF III tables.
-Many Data Dictionary entries now have additional notes
describing the entry in addition to similar text already
present in the corresponding section documentation.
-Following Sections are updated or added in the ADOCRMFV
documentation member:

Change 39.184 -Support for NDM-CDI PTF UI76063 that sets a flag bit if
VMACNDM NDMNODEF='S' (CDZ was acting as SNODE) the PNODE/SNODE
Sep 4,2021 values were wrong and had been corrected for Version 6 or
for Version 5.2, if the bit is NOT on, then MXG has made
the correction. MXG sets NDMFLAG'N' for the NDM change
or NDMFLAGX='M' if MXG reversed the PNODE and SNODE, in.
the CT, FI, and MC records.
-Support for PTF UI76043 which corrects the NDMCPU Time
("TIMEUSED" field) which was wrong (too large) in 6.0.

Change 39.180 Enhanced MXGABND can set Condition Code instead of ABEND,
IMACABND The use of %LET MXGABND=nnn in your tailoring was added
VMAC110 and documented in Change 23.184 to cause an ABEND for
Aug 28, 2021 some error messages, but this caused BUILDPDB to ABEND
due to an SMF 110 EXCLUDED fields errors. This change
lets you choose to set a Condition/Return Code so that
you can identify there was a problem, but BUILDPDB will
complete and you can find the ERROR message in the log.
You can test for the Condition Code in a new step and
send a message that a change was detected.
In addition, the ABEND will only occur on z/OS; on ASCII
the ABEND kills the current session which is nasty to
debug! Currently the IMACABND is only implemented in
the SMF 110 processing. To change, you would tailor
IMACABND per its comments into your "USERID" PDS.

Change 39.177 JES3 ONLY, and only if you tailored UTILBLDP BUILDPDB=NO
VMAC110 and USERADD=25 26J3 with INCLAFTR=BUIL3005. The 25 caused
Aug 24, 2021 the WORK.TYPE25 data set to be created and sorted to the
PDB.TYPE25 (done for all USERADD=) but also WORK.TYPE25
was deleted, but BUIL3005 expected WORK.TYPE25, causing
ERROR: DATA SET WORK.TYPE25 WAS NOT FOUND. Removing the
%VMXGDEL in _S25 macro leaves WORK.TYPE25 to correct.
Change 39.176 Support for CICS/TS 6.1 (INCOMPATIBLE, field inserted).
VMAC110 One new field, SOTLSLVL='INBOUND*TLS*LEVEL*SELECTED'
UTILEXCL is added to dataset CICSTRAN. Because the CICSTRAN
Aug 23, 2021 record is a concatenation of control blocks, when IBM
adds a field at the end of a control block, it still
shifts all subsequent fields, requiring an MXG Update.
This change is only for CICSTRAN; other new fields for
other datasets will be added when test data is available.

Change 39.171 WPS ONLY. A problem has been found with the use of the
FLASH INPUT statement reading values into temporary array
Aug 18, 2021 members with informats, resulting with incorrect values
(zero or a missing value) for these "TYPE70" variables:
NRZIPCPU NRPHYCPS AVCPSCPU AVICFCPU

PLATBUSY PLATCPUS PLATZIPBUSY PLATZIPCPUS
PLATIFLBUSY PLATIFLCPUS PLATICFBUSY PLATICFCPUS
PARTNCPU PARTNICF PARTNIFL PARTNZIP

The error was introduced in wps-4.03.01, but earlier
versions (4.00, 4.01, 4.02, and 4.03.00 are unaffected.
The error was fixed in these releases:
WPS 4.04.00.03.3277 15-Aug-2021 (MB)
First maintenance version of WPS 4.4 containing the fix
WPS 4.04.00.03.3369 7-Sep-2021 (EA3)

Change 39.170 Variable SMF9040ID was defined as a character thru 39.03,
VMAC90A but was decoded as numeric in 39.05, so combining old and
Aug 11, 2021 new TYPE9040 data sets raised a conflict. Now, SMF9040ID
is no longer created and TYPE9040IDNR is numeric and is
decoded. You may need to copy your old TYPE9040 dataset
and drop variable TYPE9040ID before you run that WEEKBLD.

Change 39.166 COMPALL is a test programs that compiles all MXG programs
TECHNOTE that process SMF records in a single step, to detect any
COMPALL cases where temporary variables (not kept) in products
COMPIBM have conflicting attributes (especially NUM and CHAR).
Aug 10, 2021 It also reports the resources needed for this irrational
program. Windows 10 required 3693 MiB, but failed on
z/OS where only 1588 MiB was available. The 940,00
lines of code required 3 minutes elapsed, 30 CPU seconds.
COMPIBM tests only the IBM created SMF records, and that
program did complete on z/OS where it needed 903 MiB.
Change 39.165 Format $MGSMFID is updated for SMF ID=1153 and 1154 types
FORMATS and comments in IMACSMFF revised since IBM owns 0-127 and
IMACSMFF 1152-2047 and 128-1151 are now the available USER types.

MONTHBL3 of _MNTHBLD and the second was missing an IF statement
MONTHPDB that dropped OBS where ZDATE was less than the start of
Jul 12, 2021 the last week, resulting in some duplicate OBS in
monthly datasets.
-New MONTHPDB member is an example generic monthly job
that is easier to tailor since you can specify what

VMAC30 CPUUNITS=0 if CPUTCBTM was 0, and AVGWKSET was only
Jul 1, 2021 calculated if CPUUNITS were non-zero. By relocating the
SRVTCBTM to use the original CPUUNITS, and then using
MAX(CPUTCBTM,SRVTCBTM) for the AVGWKSET more obs were
populated.

Change 39.136 SAS does not permit special characters in variable names,
RMFINTRV except for the underscore. If you have service classes
UTILWORK names with a special character and use UTILWORK to build
VMXGRMFI your RMFINTRV code, VMXGRMFI fails with syntax errors.
Jul 1, 2021 because the service class/report class name is used as
the first part of the variable name; class BAT#PROD
becomes BAT#PRODCPU etc. MXG now detects the bad names
flags them with error messages, and changes them to a
name of BADNAMEx where x is the number of bad names that
were detected. RMFINTRV file is created, but CC=5 is
set as a warning.
Thanks to Miguel Fernandez, BNYMELLON, USA.

ANALDB2R because of a superfluous %END statement error, even
PMAUD02 though the error message said the statement would be
Jun 29, 2021 ignored. This behavior was due to the differing values
for ERRORABEND, which is NOT enabled in ASCII AUTOEXECs,

-IBM variable ICESZRNU identifies why zSORT was NOT USED,
and a zero value is supposed to mean zSORT WAS used, but
these records with a zero also have ICEFLBY5='N' flag
that zSORT was NOT used. Now, MXG sets IZESZRNU=-1 for

VMXGALOC and manages all of the MXG SAS PDB Data Libraries. IF
Jun 4, 2021 you did not specify FIRSTRUN=YES the first time you ran
it, many libraries were not allocated causing MXGERRORs.
The FIRSTRUN=YES logic should have been used only for

May 11, 2021
Change 39.100 -New ASMRMFV Field Data Filter (FDF) support for the RMF
ADOCRMFV III Cryptographic Hardware Data Table (CRYG3}.
ASMRMFV -The Field Data Filter (FDF) feature of RMF III was added
VMACRMFV in MXG Change 37.089 and supports filtering of raw or MXG
May 11, 2021 derived RMF data values when ASMRMFV reads the RMF III
VSAM file, reducing the size of the created RMFBSAM file
and the result MXG PDB.
-RMF III table entries can be filtered by FDF based on one
or more numeric/character/bit fields using AND/OR logic.
FDF is intended for advanced MXG users building ad hoc
PDBs of RMF III data for studies and investigations.
-The minimum hardware level required to run ASMRMFV is
raised from a z9 to a z10 machine. IBM end of support
for the z10 was December 2019. This allows ASMRMFV to
use more efficient and fewer machine instructions.
-MXG can provide an archival stabilized ASMRMFV level for
continuing z9 users if needed. This level does NOT have
FDF CRYG3 support and will NOT be further enhanced.
-ADOCRMFV now contains ASMRMFV support status information
for all IBM processor families.
-Improved Table Error Diagnostics (ITED) are added for all
supported RMF III tables. When an RMF III table error
is detected (which should be rare) instead of only
counting the table skip, a dynamically tailored RMFV092E
message will also be issued with further details.
Return Code 0008 will result for RMF III table errors
rather than Return Code 0004 as previously. These merit
contact with MXG Technical Support to resolve the
problem.
-There is an internal ASMRMFV limit of 10 RMFV092E
messages for each RMF III VSAM data set processed. If
reached new message RMV093I is issued and further
RMFV092E messages are suppressed for that data set.
-When AUTOSEL (default) is in effect ASMRMFV now shows the
field name that trigged that automatic RMF III table
selection in message RMFV082I.
Example:
RMFV002I SYSIN : IF=(ASIJOBNA EQ 'MXGJU')
RMFV082I -->NOTE : RMF III ASI TABLE AUTO SELECTED BY
ASIJOBNA <--
-When AUTOSEL (default) in in effect use of any of the
following additional ASMRMFV parameters (and their
respective aliases) will now cause the corresponding RMF
III table to be selected without having to also
explicitly code the corresponding table selection:

-Data Dictionaries in the ADOCRMFV member have been
updated or added for these FDF supported RMF III tables:

boxed figures for improved legibility.

CPCABSMSU='ABSMSU*CAPPING*OPTION*SET?'
CPCVALAVL='CAPACITY*VALUES*AVAILABLE?'
-The 96 CPUSTAnn variables in dataset ZRBCPU have been
reserved since z/OS 1.2. They are removed.
Change 39.099 Support for DB2 Netezza/IDAA Accelerator new data fields,
VMACDB2 and correction to DB2 GMT Offset calculation . DB2 does
VMACDB2H not provide a GMT Offset, forcing MXG to use the delta
VMACSMF between SMFTIME-TODSTAMP with fuzzy logic, because SMF is
May 23, 2021 in hundredths while TODSTAMPs are in microseconds, but
MXG logic did NOT account for the 26 leap seconds that
are in all TODSTAMPs, but not in SMFTIMEs, that made the
converted local time 26 seconds later than actual. Now,
the 26 seconds are subtracted from QWHSSTCK before the
GMT corrected calculation and QWHSSTCK is correctly
converted to local time zone to match SMF, and the
GMT Offset is now integer hours.
-Leap Seconds are periodically added (6 since 1997) and
when the next one is scheduled, I'll use the date to
subtract the 27th.
-I've discovered both TODSTAMP and MSEC variables can show
8 decimal digits, with DATATIME28.8 or TIME20.8 formats,
but SAS Support says both only have 6 decimals are valid.
-Protection for invalid offset added in VMACSMF.

Change 39.097 New parameter NOTALLLPARS=NO defaults to running the PROC
VMXG70PR FREQ that tells you which LPARs are missing from the PDB.
May 7, 2021 Specifying NOTALLLPARS=YES suppresses these messages for
when you don't have the RMF data from all LPAR's.
Change 39.096 New variable SMF89SOLUTIONID, the SOLUT= system parameter
VMAC89 is added to datasets TYPE89 and TYPE892. This is the

Change 39.094 Debugging macro variable DCOLEXIT is defined in VMXGINIT
VMACDCOL and &DCOLEXIT is added to the INFILE so that you can use
VMXGINIT %LET DCOLEXIT=FIRSTOBS=250 OBS=300;
May 5, 2021 to control what records are read. If you instead used
OPTIONS FIRSTOBS=250 OBS=300;
the DATA step will correctly read those selected records,
but the following SORTs and STEPs will fail because they
FIRSTOBS=1 OBS=MAX.
Change 39.093 -DCOLLECT DAILYDSN/VMXGDSN creation of DATASETS.DATASETS
VMXGDSN has been wrong since Change 37.065 in MXG 37.03. In the
May 5, 2021 creation of DATASETS, the original code output the pair
of DATA/INDX obs from DCOLDSET for VSAM files, setting
SPACE1=DCDALLSP (Allocated Space) for each obs.
-That change replaced that pair of obs with one obs from
DCOLCLUS, DSNAME=Cluster Name and with SPACE1=DCAHARBA
as the size of each VSAM cluster, But the total DASD
space is significantly smaller after that change.
-This change follows IBM recommendation to use DCAHARBC,
instead of DCAHARBA and to continue to discard the VSAM
DATA/INDX space from DCOLDSET.
-After this change, the obs count in DATASETS is smaller,
and the VSAM sizes increased to pre-37.065 change.
DASD Space is DCDALLSP - VSAM-DCDALLSP + DCAHARBC
-See also Change 15.108.

Change 39.084 We all know that IO delays can be a problem but we may
TECHNOTE not consider terminal delays to be part of the problem.
Apr 23, 2021 Now that everyone is working from home running SAS in
the foreground (interactive) can be profoundly affected.
Working with a customer on a Linux install we noticed
that SAS initialization took over 1 minute for 1 user
but only 45 seconds for another and locally on my PC a
couple of seconds. Running BUILDPDB against a 6GB SMF
dataset in the foreground took 13 minutes but running
in the background (a batch job) the same program and
the same SMF data ran in 90 seconds. The moral of the
story is IO still matters and LOGS and OUTPUTs back
to your online session are IO and matter.

Change 39.057 INPUT EXCEEDED for defective SMF 16 record with ZSORT
VMAC16 triplet populated, but no ZSORT data, APAR PH32395:
Apr 1, 2021 UI90068 WHEN ZSORT=Y IS IN EFFECT. ERROR DESCRIPTION:
The ZSORT feature does not support SORTs that are program
invoked and using E15 and/or E35 EXITS for input and
output. In this case ZSORT needs to be disabled and use
the traditional sorting techniques, otherwise program
failures like ABEND0C4 may occur. This APAR will improve
this check. One site's data populated ICEFLBY5='Y' that
ZFSORT was invoked, but the offset pointed to the end
of the record where there was no data. A second site
had ten-digit decimal offsets in the ZSORT triplet but
ICEFLBY5 was not y.
-The BroadCom CA-7 SASSHISS program ABENDED with 0C4 as
noted in this document:

Change 39.056 New parameters WEEKINCODE= MNTHINCODE= let you insert
BLDSMPDB code just after the SET statements for weekly and monthly
Mar 28, 2021 processing. An example was added to the comments using
WEEKINCODE to validate the data using ZDATE and to
determine using RMFINTRV if data is not complete (less
than 24 hours in a day) or outside the bounds of the
week. Will issue a WARNING message if problems are found,
print a report of what was found for each day of the
week, and optionally can set cc=4;
Thanks to Denise Willers, ENSONO, USA.
Change 39.055 AUDITAFTER= default value changed to YES. This means that
UTILBLDP PDBAUDIT will run after everything in your INCLAFTR
Mar 28, 2021 parameter rather than after BUILDPDB. The first time you
run you will see a lot of new datasets that are not
really new but were created by MXGINCL and INCLAFTR
members after BUILDPDB ran.
Change 39.054 Variable LOSTRECS/SMF7NROX was conditionally input but
VMAC7 the field is always present, and subsequent variables
Mar 26, 2021 (SMF7LSN,SMF7TBLS) were not input.
Thanks to Al Sherkow, I/S Management Strategies, Ltd.
Change 39.053 The CICSTRAN data for z/OS EE Connect Adapter and for MQ
VMAC110 related tasks create variables OADATA1/OADATA2/OADATA3
Mar 31, 2021 with these different values:
For MQ Related Task
OADATA1=QMGR=MSQ1
OADATA2=INITQ=CICSS001.INITQ
OADATA3=QNAME=MQS1.MQIN.TEST.REPORT
OADID =ID=IBM WebSphere MQ for z/OS V9
For z/OS Connect Related Task
OADATA1 BAQvllPLXTNKX A580 TODSTAMP.
The v field contains 01x= a version number?,
the ll field contains length of data following,
PLXTNKX is the SYSPLEX and A580 is the SYSTEM and
the TODSTAMP (converted with MCTMNTAD to LOCAL)
is always earlier than the SMF time.
But those binary values in the z/OS Connect OADATA1
cause problems if you try to move the data to EXCEL.
So the z/OS Connect record is decoded and the datetime
is now a text field:
OADATA1='BAQ PLXTNKX A580 15MAR2021:11:10:54.217948.
Thanks to Simon Foley, CPT Global, AUSTRALIA.

Change 39.052 TABULATEs consolidated so that for each category you get
ANALINIT one page rather than a page per jobclass. Formats added
Mar 26, 2021 to PROC PRINTs.
Change 39.051 JCLSPGDG example creates GDGs for all MXG "PDB" datasets.
JCLSPGDG The limit for the number of generations in a GDG was 255,
Mar 21, 2021 but in z/OS 2.2, the new EXTENDED option allows up to 999
generations. So you can start a Daily PDB with GDG=1 on
Jan 1, with a limit of 366 and have the GDG number
match the julian date!
Thanks to MP Welch, Bank of America, USA.
Change 39.050 Error Messages from PROC PLOT for all values missing were
JCLPDB94 caused by incorrect OR/AND logic. JCL94PDB now executes
ANALRMFI with CC=0.

FORMATS ANALID reports; the format was missing 116.010.
Mar 18, 2021
Thanks to MP Welch, Bank of America, USA.
Change 39.048 The example PDS allocation for MXG.SOURLIB had only 1199
JCLINSTT directory blocks. Without PDS Statistics, 459 blocks are
JCLINSTL used, with PDS statistics, 1607 are needed so examples
Mar 17, 2021 now allocate 1999 blocks so you can have statistics.
Thanks to Jerry Terpstra, Bank of Montreal, CANADA.
Change 39.047 If you tried to run without running _SUOWSPN you got
VMXGUOW errors with SPUNCNT undefined and if you set _LASCICS
ASUMUOW to CICSTRAN.CICSTRAN and bypassed _SUOWCIC you got an
Mar 17, 2021 undefined macro reference. Both problems are fixed.
_SUOWSPN is not needed since the data has to be in the
correct order when it is created. It is commented out
in both the examples and the executable code. It will
not hurt to run it but it will save some time to skip
this sort.
Change 39.046 If you asked for 106 records and did not add T102106=YES
READDB2 the T102S106 dataset was not created. Now if 106 is in
Mar 14, 2021 the IFCIDS and T102106 NE NO it will be built and sorted
into the PDBOUT= LIBNAME.
Thanks to Scott Barry, SBBTechLLC, USA.
Change 39.045 If all values to be charted were missing, a blank page
GRAFWRKX was created and if all were 0 a meaningless chart of a
Mar 13, 2021 flat line at 0 on the Y-axis was created. Now charts only
values GT 0.
Change 39.044 Since the second part of the WORKX= was set to SRVCLASS,
UTILWORK which is then used as the label for variables created by
Mar 14, 2021 VMXGRMFI, unless you wrote the WLM policy SRVCLASS may
not be sufficient to identify what the workload
represents. Now, UTILWORK uses the first 20 bytes of the
service class description, except when the service class
is SYSTEM SYSSTC or SYSOTHER.
Change 39.043 Support for z/OS Connect SMF 123 Subtype 2 record creates
ANAL123A New Data Set:
EXTY123C DDDDDD DATASET DESCRIPTION
IMAC123A TY123C TYPE123C z/OS CONNECT API REQUEST
VMAC123A Member ANAL123A will merge the TYPE123C REQUEST dataset
VMXGINIT observation with the corresponding CICSTRAN obs to create
Mar 23, 2021 dataset PDB.CICS123.
Change 39.042 CICS optional CMODHEAD=USER AND CMODNAME=USER incorrectly
IMACICXA pointed to IMACICDU but that should be IMACICXA.

Change 39.041 -If you want to change the destination library to other
ASUM70PR than PDB, VMXG70PR failed with error messages that your
VMXG70PR TYPE70 and TYPE70PR datasets were not found. Now, it
Mar 24, 2021 uses VMXGWORL to try to find it, or if you specify
PDB=yourdd, that will be used.
-If you specified PDB=PDB and the datasets did not exist
a dataset not found error resulted. PDB=libname always
overrides the results of VMXGWORL.
Change 39.040 Defective SMF 1415 records with NUCB=6 but only 5 UCBs
VMAC1415 have invalid SMF14STY values due to that misalignment,
Mar 9, 2021 causing blank values for STEPNAME PROGRAM JCTJOBID and
JESNR is a missing value. All of these records are for
DSNAME='SYS1.HASPACE' and new SMFSTY14='1234567890' is
created to list the subtypes in each record; the value
0 at the end are those with invalid subtypes.
A CASE/PMR is in progress with IBM to correct.
Change 39.039 -The Field Data Filter (FDF) feature of RMF III was added
ASMRMFV in MXG Change 37.089 and allows you to filter raw RMF
ADOCRMFV data values when ASMRMFV reads the RMF III VSAM file,
Mar 8, 2021 reducing the size of the created RMFBSAM file and the
result PDB.
-You can filter RMF III table entries based on one or more
numeric, character, or bit string fields using AND/OR
logic. This feature is intended for advanced MXG users
building ad hoc data PDBs of RMF III data.
-ASMRMFV now supports some MXG Derived Variables from bit
string settings. This relieves some of the cumbersome
lookup and error prone use of bit strings in FDF IF
expressions. Not all bit settings are assigned to a PDB
variable when an MXG PDB build is run. ASMRMFV mimics the
derivation that occurs during the build.
-Bit string MXG Derived Variables are added for RMF III
tables: ASIG3, CATG3, DVTG3, ENCG3, GEIG3, SCMG3, SPGG3.
Other tables supported by FDF do not have bit string
related variables.
-Example: Select Address Spaces using the CPU Protection
bit from the ASIG3 table:
Rather than code the IF bit string expression:
IF=(ASIMSTS EQ B'..1.....')
Now this user friendly alternative is possible:
IF=(ASICPUPR EQ 'Y')
-Data Dictionaries have been updated for all 17 FDF
supported RMF III tables. Derived Variable support is
available where the characters "MASK" appear in a Data
Dictionary entry.
-Many Data Dictionary entries now include one or two NOTEs
to add further information about a Fieldname.
-DEV is now valid as a prefix for some Fieldnames for the
RMF III DVTG3 table. This shortens some long Fieldnames
that formerly all required a DVT prefix.
-Error message RMFV092S is now issued with an error code
should a rare table validation error occur for either the
CATG3 table or SMF 74.5 record within the CATG3 table.
-New Section 32 Data Dictionary Descriptions is added to
the ADOCRMFV member. This provides a central reference
location for this information rather than repeating it
for every FDF supported RMF III table.
-New Section 34 Filtering The Cache Data Information Table
(CATG3) is added to the ADOCRMFV member for the new
support.
-TIP:
When filtering with FDF on the first n characters of a
character field there are two ways to accomplish this
as shown in the examples below:
1) Use a pattern match (* in compare value string)
IF=(ASIJOBNA EQ 'PROD*')
2) Use a shortened compare length (: after operator)
IF=(ASIJOBNA EQ: 'PROD')
Either method will select jobs starting with 'PROD' for
output to the RMFBSAM file.
However, the SECOND method is MUCH MORE efficient.
With Method 1 ASMRMFV must call the internal MATCH
subroutine for EVERY job to evaluate the pattern. With
Method 2 ASMRMFV sets the compare length ONCE (in this
case to a value of 4) for all job name comparisons.
TUTORIAL:
MXG Derived Variable ASICX for the RMF III ASIG3 table
can be useful with ASMRMFV for data selection by Address
Space Type when building a filtered PDB.
Possible ASICX values are:
A ASCH Task AO ASCH Task OMVS Related
B Batch Job BO Batch Job OMVS Related
S Started Task SO Started Task OMVS Related
T TSO User TO TSO User OMVS Related
O OMVS Task
To select Started Tasks only use:
IF=(ASICX EQ 'S') or IF=(ASICX = 'S')
To select OMVS related Started Tasks only use:
IF=(ASICX EQ 'SO') or IF=(ASICX = 'SO')
To select all Started Tasks use:
IF=(ASICX EQ: 'S') or IF=(ASICX =: 'S')
Note that 2 IF expressions are NOT needed.
To select all Started Tasks and all Batch Jobs use:
IF=(ASICX EQ: 'S') or IF=(ASICX =: 'S')
IF=(ASICX EQ: 'B') or IF=(ASICX =: 'B')
Note in this case 2 IF expressions are needed.

Change 39.036 APAR PH35442 corrects Negative CPU time in WebSphere SMF
VMAC120 120 TYP120BL dataset. There were many SMF 120 Subtype 11
Feb 28, 2021 records that had ZERO values for the GMT OFFSET
(SM120BBT), for the TOTAL CPU CLOCK AT REQUEST END
(SM120BCA1), for the CP ONLY CPU CLOCK AT REQUEST END
(SAM1230BCA2), and these zero values cause negative
values in the calculated delta start-to-end times.
Variables SM120BCPUTM SM120BCPCPUTM SM120BZIPCPU were
wrong. Note also that because the GMT OFFSET is 0 in
these records, while the other non-zero records actual
GMT OFFSET is 1, these zero records have their END

1. Duplicate RMF/CMF records CANNOT BE PROCESSED, YOU
MUST SELECT THE DESIRED RECORDS, AND YOU WOULD USE
//SYSIN DD
%LET MACFILE= %QUOTE(IF PRODCMF=:'RMF';); or
%LET MACFILE= %QUOTE(IF PRODCMF=:'CMF';);
This may be required with z/OS 2.5 with CMF, because
z/OS BASE will write RMF 70 records (so sites without
RMF will have 70s for SCRT reports).
2. To detect if you have records from both products,
//SMF DD
//SYSIN DD *
%INCLUDE SOURCLIB(VMACSMF);

VMXG70PR Depending on how you tried to change the destination,
Feb 12, 2021 with those macro variable DDnames with %LET may not
have been used, and those datasets could have been
written to &PDBMXG (normally PDB) instead of your %LET.
This change corrects to match the documentation.
Change 39.020 UTILWORK creates an RMFINTRV member with your Workloads.
IMACWORK New parameters enhance the useability of UTILWORK.
UTILWORK -IMACWORK=NO suppresses the use of IMACWORK.
Feb 6, 2021 With IMACWORK=YES, you can not have a WORKxx name that
matches an entry in IMACWORK; RMFINTRV will detect the
conflict and terminate.
SYSTEM= if you have multiple systems and you want to
define workloads differently SYSTEM=YES will add the
SYSTEM ID to each workload.
SYSPLEX= if you have multiple sysplex and you want to
define workloads differently, SYSPLEX=YES will add the
SYSPLEX ID to each workload.
In addition the first section of each workload (which
resolves to variable names) is now set to the SRVCLASS
since the restriction on 8 byte names is history.
Finally, the RMFINTRV member created is now printed
on the SASLOG.
Change 39.019 Using SP_REMV='Y', some labels were truncated because the

VMAC102 INPUT $CHAR8 FORMAT $HEX16., QW0172HZ/WZ are INPUT &PIB.8
Jan 21, 2021 and Labels for QW0172HZ/WZ added Holder/Waiter.
Thanks to Jack Hyde, OPTUM, USA.
Thanks to Peter Vikeras, OPTUM, USA.
Change 39.009 TYPE70 PLATxxxxBUSY variables were incorrectly calculated
VMAC7072 adding the PHYSICAL LCPUPDTM to each calculation, but the
Jan 21, 2021 PLAT variables do NOT report this LPAR's utilization as
they calculate the utilization on ALL ENGINES IN THE CEC.
Thanks to Mark Tomlinson, Lloyds Bank, ENGLAND.
Change 39.008 zOS only. SAS ODS Graphics always uses Java, and Java can
TECHNOTE run on zIIP engines with significant CP CPU savings, but
Jan 18, 2021 a JVM file must be APF Authorized when your Java SYSPROG
installed Java. This z/OS message is printed in JOBLOG
(NOT SASLOG) and the JVM still executed correctly and
ended with CC=0, but the zIIP engines are not used:
JVMJ9VM082E Unable to switch to IFA processor
- issue "extattr +a 099 libj9ifa26.so"
"The JVM failed to switch to an IFA (Integrated Facility
for Applications) processor because the JVM library file
libj9ifa%s.so requires APF authorization."
One job running GRAFWRKX and GRAFCEC creating a PDF file
went from 484 CP secs to 107 CP + 146 ZIP = 253 secs.
The zIIP time is not reported by SAS, but the CPU time on
the SAS log is the sum of CP and zIIP can be much larger
than elapsed when zIIPs are used.
Change 39.007 Variable INTRVSYN (is RMF Sync with SMF?) was blank in
VMAC7072 datasets TYPE70xx and TYPE72xx, MXG38.05-38.38.
Jan 15, 2021
Thanks to Douglas C. Walter, CITIGROUP, USA.
Change 39.006 ANAL9914 Topology Report tests for &CECTYPE=Z15 added to
ANAL9914 support the z/15 processors, and the default is now Z15.
Jan 14, 2021
Thanks to Virginie Peigney, CA-GIP, FRANCE.
Thanks to Jim S. Horne, Lowe's Companies, USA.
Change 39.005 Change 38.215 dropped these 4 variables from ASUMCELP.
VMXG70PR IFA70ACS IFA70BPS IFL70ACS IFL70BPS which are now kept.
Jan 8, 2021 IFA values will always be missing or 0.
Thanks to Douglas C. Walter, CITIGROUP, USA.
Change 39.004 ANALID report did not identify CICS Compressed records;
VMACSMF VMACSMF incorrectly bypassed the test to set 'C'.
Jan 8, 2021
Thanks to MP Welch, Bank of America, USA.
Change 39.003 -Support for new variables TOKRABOID TOKKSTNPLTS in
VMAC80A dataset TYPE80TK.
Jan 10, 2021 -Dataset TYPE80TK will have fewer observations; each
token outputs an observation, but now there is a single
observation for each record with all tokens.
Thanks to Andreas von Imhof, RABOBANK, THE NETHERLANDS.
Change 39.002 ***WARNING - TYPETASK NOT DECODED SUBSYS=SAR. TYPE 6 SAR
VGETJESN records do not have a JCTJOBID which is used to create
Jan 5, 2021 TYPETASK. IF SUBSYS='SAR' THEN TYPETASK='SAR'; added.
Thanks to Joey TU, Los Angeles Department of Water and Power, USA
Thanks to Jon Hoang, Los Angeles Department of Water and Power, USA
Change 39.001 Cosmetic. DATEFMT=DATE7., was added to arguments.

Please read CHANGESS for the complete list of major enhancements.
See member NEWSLTRS or the Newsletters frame at http://www.mxg.com for
current MXG Technical Notes.
All of these enhancements are described in the Change Log, below.
II. SAS Version requirement information:
SAS Versions
The current version nomenclature is SAS 9.4 TS1M7 (9.4M7),
"M7", or with options VERSIONLONG;
"SAS 9.4 (9.04.01M7P080520)" on z/OS
9.4 (TS04.01M7P08052020)" on ASCII.
SAS V9.4 M7 is RECOMMENDED, but MXG executes without error
using SAS Version 9.4 M0-M2 or M4-M6 or SAS Version 9.3 M0-M2.
SAS V9.4 M5 is REQUIRED with z/OS 2.3 with Eight-Byte USERIDs
for Interactive TSO (DMS) SAS Sessions. SAS Note 61339.
Only on z/OS, SAS 9.4 "M5" requires MXG 35.36+ because it adds the
NOERRORSTOP option to protect all MXG PROC SQLs from the M5 defect
described in SAS Note 61672. But SAS apparently does not plan for
a defect correction since the MXG Circumvention solves for MXG and
the text of 61672 simply describes the circumvention needed because
MXG's use of OPTIONS OBS=0 without NOERRORSTOP exposed the defect.
See Change 35.309 for more details on using NOERRORSTOP for your
own PROC SQLs.
SAS V9.4 M3 is NOT RECOMMENDED. See Change 36.128 SAS Note 61906
that reports 40% Increase in CPU time with M3.
SAS V9.4 (ALL) and SAS V9.3 (ALL) are at LEVEL A SAS Support.
SAS V9.3 SAS 9.3 TS1M2 was RECOMMENDED. SAS 9.3 TS1M1 works ok.
But SAS 9.3 at TS1M0, the HOT FIX for SAS Note SN-43828,
see CHANGE 29.169, IS REQUIRED:
The %MACRO compiler error is in processing %LET
statements. While only two MXG members failed
repeatedly in MXG QA tests on z/OS, there were random
%LET errors in ASCII QA tests, so ANY use of %LET
statement on ANY platform are vulnerable to this
error, as the %MACRO compiler is SAS portable code,
used on all platforms. So this is NOT just an MXG
error, but impacts ALL SAS programs.
SAS9.3 is LEVEL A support from SAS.
SAS V9.2 Was recommended, prior to 9.3, and was error-free with
MXG 26.03 SAS Hot Fix for SAS Note 37166 is required to
use a VIEW with the MXG EXITCICS/CICSFIUE CICS/DB2
Decompression Infile Exit. but SAS V9.2 does execute on
that platform.
9.2 is LEVEL B Support from SAS, as of Sep 30, 2013.
SAS V9.1.3 on z/OS 1.10 requires SAS Hot Fix for SN-35332 and is at
Support level C by SAS Institute, Sep 30, 2013.
SAS V9.1.3 is NOT supported by SAS on Windows SEVEN.
SAS V8.2 SUPPORT LEVEL C BY SAS INSTITUTE; NOT ALL OF MXG WORKS!
with SAS 8.2.
SAS 8.2 is Level C Support from SAS as of Dec 31, 2011.
JCL in MXGSAS94 or MXGSAS93 can be used, or MXGNAMES can be used
***************************************************************
As documented in Change 27.356, for SAS V9.2 or later):
The standard SAS JCL Procedure can be used for MXG with SAS V9.2+
// EXEC SAS,CONFIG='MXG.SOURCLIB(CONFIMXG)'
//MXGNAMES DSN=MXG.USERID.SOURCLIB(MXGNAMES),DISP=SHR
But CONFIMXG is required for sites with NLS issues, and you must
use JCLCONFI to create/update the MXG.FORMATS catalog if you use
CONFIG='MXG.SOURCLIB(CONFIMXG)'.
For no NLS, you can use the MXGSAS94 JCL Procedure example.
***************************************************************
MXG 26.03 thru MXG 36.11 will execute under the previously listed
SAS Versions on all supported platforms
Unrelated to the above SAS Note/Hot Fix, ODS users will want to
use MXG 29.06+, because SAS V9.3 did expose incompatibilities in
MXG code for ODS reporting, that were fixed in MXG Version 29.06.
See Changes 29.159 and 29.169.
And, only for z/OS 1.10 with SAS V9.1.3 with ANY version of MXG,
the SAS Hot Fix for SN-35332 is REQUIRED (to be completely safe).
Without this Hot Fix, "LIBREF XXXXXXXX IS NOT ASSIGNED" errors
can occur even though //XXXXXXXX DD is a valid SAS Data Library.
This error ONLY occurs with z/OS 1.10 and SAS V9.1.3; it does
NOT occur with SAS V9.2, nor with z/OS 1.9. It can be
circumvented by adding a LIBNAME statement that specifies the
ENGINE name. See the Technical Note in Newsletters for SN-35332.
Note that SAS V9.1.3 is now at "Level B" Support from SAS.
Old MXG code may continue to execute with SAS V8.2, but V8 is now
"Level C" support from SAS Institute, and there are known errors
in V8.2 that are only fixed in SAS V9. I no longer QA with V8.2;
While many MXG programs (accidentally) will still execute under
V8.2, I cannot guarantee that all of MXG executes error free.
PLEASE INSTALL V9.2/V9.3/V9.4, TO AVOID FIXED PROBLEMS!
If you are absolutely stuck on V8, you need to copy MXG member
V8GETOBS into USERID.SOURCLIB and rename to VGETOBS.
MXG Software has not executed under SAS V6 in many years.
The "PDB" libraries (i.e., SAS data libraries) must be created by
SAS V8 or later, but any of those data libraries can be read or
updated by the SAS Versions that MXG Supports, above.
For SAS Version V9.3:
SAS 93 TS1M1 is RECOMMENDED; for TS1M0, SAS Hot Fix in SAS Note
SN43828 is REQUIRED. See text of Change 29.159.
With SAS 93 TS1M1, (or TS1M0 with that Hot Fix) MXG Versions
26.03 or later execute under SAS V9.3 on all platforms.
SAS Data Libraries created by SAS V8.2, V9.1.3, V9.2, V9.3 and
SAS V9.4 are interchangeable and can be read/written by any of
those versions, provided they are on the same platform.
BUT: on ASCII, the 32-bit and 64-bit SAS versions are NOT the
same "platform" and attempting to read/use the FORMAT catalog
created on one of those "platforms" on the other "platform"
will error out to remind you of that difference!
SAS V9.4 did change some V9.3 ODS processing defaults and syntax
that might cause errors with MXG 29.05 or earlier; MXG 29.06,
Change 29.160 documents the major revisions made in MXG to fully
support ODS, and MXG 29.06 is STRONGLY recommended for ODS with
SAS V9.3 or SAS V9.4.
For (Archaic) SAS Version V9.2 (TS1M0):
Big Picture: SAS Version V9.2 is COMPATIBLE with MXG Software.
On z/OS, SAS changed the DSNAMES for some of the SAS libraries,
so you do need to use the new MXGSAS92 JCL Procedure for MXG,
but it still uses the CONFIGV9 configuration file.
****************************************************************
However, NEW, and documented in Change 27.356, with SAS V9.2+:
The standard SAS JCL Procedure can be used for MXG:
// EXEC SAS,CONFIG='MXG.SOURCLIB(CONFIMXG)'
//MXGNAMES DD DSN=MXG.USERID.SOURCLIB(MXGNAMES),DISP=SHR
instead of using the MXGSAS92 JCL Procedure example.
****************************************************************
SAS Data Libraries are compatible for V8.2, V9.1.3, V9.2, V9.3,
and V9.4. "PDBs" can be read/written interchangeably between
these SAS versions.
MXG Versions 26.03+ do execute with SAS V9.2 with NO WARNINGS
and with NO ERRORS reported.
Pre-MXG 26.03, SAS Hot Fix F9BA07 was required to suppress a
new SAS V9.2 WARNING, that on z/OS, set CC=4 (condition/return
code). That warning is harmless (to MXG code) and all MXG
created SAS datasets were correct, even with that warning.
The ONLY exposure was ONLY on z/OS, and ONLY if condition code
tests are used in your MXG jobstreams.
SAS Version 9.2 requires z/OS 1.7 or later, both officially as
documented by SAS Institute, and actually as V9.2 fails with 0C4
under z/OS 1.4.
For SAS V9.1.3 on z/OS with Service Pack 4:
On z/OS 1.10, Hot Fix SN-35332 is REQUIRED.
CONFIGV9 now specifies V9SEQ instead of V6SEQ. As V6SEQ does
not support long length character variables, it can't be used.
SAS V9.1.3 with current Service Pack 4 is STRONGLY RECOMMENDED.
For (back-level!) SAS V9.1 or V9.1.2 on z/OS:
SN-013514 is REQUIRED to be able to read datasets that were
created by V6SEQ (tape) engine.
SN-012437 is REQUIRED to prevent creation of corrupt/unreadable
datasets with tape engines V7SEQ, V8SEQ, or V9SEQ.
Both fixes ARE included in SAS V9.1.3, but V9.1 or 9.1.2 is NOT
SAFE without those two hot fixes, and if you do NOT have those
two fixes on 9.1 or 9.1.2, you MUST set V6SEQ in CONFIGV9.
With MXG 23.02 or later, V9SEQ is the default sequential engine
specified in CONFIGV9, but if you are back at SAS V9.1 or V9.1.2
you MUST install the two hot fixes listed above.
For SAS Version 8.2, HotFix Bundle 82BX08 (or later) was required
as an absolute minimum level when that SAS Version was last
supported by MXG Software. PLEASE INSTALL SAS V9.x ASAP.
Sequential Engine Status:
V9SEQ was fixed in V9.1.3; it has been default in CONFIGV9.
V8SEQ was always safe under SAS V8.2, but it wasted CPU time
by always compressing when writing in tape format.
V6SEQ, if used under V9.1.2, requires SN-013514, but V6SEQ
should no longer be used, as it does not support long
length variables.
GENERAL STATEMENT FOR MXG QA TESTS AND SAS VERSIONS:
MXG QA tests are executed with V9.4, on z/OS, on Windows TEN and
Linux on 64-bit hardware, but MXG users execute MXG on MANY
(ALL??) SAS platforms, including AIX, Linux, and other 'nix'
variants, on many different hardware platforms, and since they all
work we don't need to list them. If SAS executes so does MXG.
Prior QA tests have been run with all SAS releases available at
that time on Linux RH8 on Intel, on Solaris v2.8 on a Model V880,
and on HP-UX v11.11 model rp5470, confirming full compatibility.
MXG should execute under ALL SUPPORTED SAS VERSIONS on EVERY SAS
platform without errors! Each new MXG version is also tested with
the SAS ITSV/ITRM product by the ITRM developers.
III. WPS Version requirement information:
WPS Version 4.1 USER 4037 ABEND, See Change 37.116.
WPS Version 4.0 reportedly fixed version 3 problems.
WPS Version 3.02 (03.02.03.00.016221) is required Change 34.266.
and other errors with 3.00 or 3.01 have been corrected in the
current WPS version.
WPS Version 3.01.1 maintenance level 731 required for PDB to tape
WPS Version 3.01 (also shows 3.1.1) is required for AUTOEZOS.
WPS Version 3.01 is required for MOBILWRK, PICTURE fails in 2.5.
WPS Version 3.01 executed MXG 32.03 BUILDPDB with no errors.
WPS Version 3.0 requires MXG 31.09 (see Change 31.251).
WPS Version 2.4 required MXG 27.09 (see Change 27.239).
WPS Version 2.3.5 required MXG 27.05.
See NEWSLETTERS for WPS Support Statement.
WPS prints this message ERROR: COULD NOT CREATE DATA SET "PDB.ID"
when the LIBNAME PDB does not exist; there would also have been a
prior log message NOTE: Library PDB does not exist as the clue.
IV. MXG Version Required for Hardware, Operating System Release, etc.
MXG is usually NOT sensitive to z/OS Hardware changes, but:
The z15 and z15 T02 processors INCOMPATIBLY changed the SMF 113
records by inserting 32 new EXTEND and 4 CRYPTO counters, causing
ARRAY SIZE EXCEEDED with BUILDPDB which processes the SMF 113s.
Support for counter changes for both models was in MXG 37.08.
If you use MIPS in reports, the format $MGRMIPS provides the
MIPS/MSU value for each processor; the z15 values were updated
in MXG 37.08, and the z15 TO2 values were updated in MXG 38.04.
These MXG programs use $MGRMIPS: ASUMMIPS GRAFCEC GRAFWLM
GRAFWRKX and TYPERMFV (RMF III).
The z/14 also inserted SMF 113 fields, supported in MXG 36.07.
The z/13 with 61+ LPARs requires MXG 32.05 IF NON-SMT MODE.
The z/EC12 with 85+ engines required MXG 30.07.
Support for 255 engines was added in MXG 31.04.
And z/VM on the z15 requires MXG 38.02, PRCMFC/MFM COUNTERS caused
HARDWARE COUNTER messages, PRCMFC/PRCMFM no obs. Change 38.048.
The z13 processor INCOMPATIBLY CHANGED, the new SMT-MODE RMF 70, and
MXG 34.03 was REQUIRED (PCTCPUBY WRONG!), to read the SMT-format RMF
(which are written if you have zIIP engines AND have enabled the new
PROCVIEW CORE option for Multi-Threading, even if only one thread is
enabled).
The new zEDC/EADM compression hardware requires MXG 38.05 to support
new metrics.

Note: Asterisk by the version number means the Version number
was changed (to the MXG version required), after an earlier
MXG version was listed as supporting this product release,
usually because an APAR modified the product's data records.
Or a coding error in MXG could be the reason for the change!

V. Incompatibilities and Installation of MXG 38.38.
1. Incompatibilities introduced in MXG 38.38:
a. Changes in MXG architecture made between 38.38 and prior versions
that can introduce known incompatibilities.
IF YOU HAVE MEMBER E2TY70 IN YOUR USERID.TAILORING SOURCE LIBRARY,
YOU MUST CHANGE _LTY70 to _WTY70 in that member. CHANGE 38.105.
The error before this correction will be:
ERROR: DATA SET "PDB.TYPE70" was not specified on the DATAA stmt.
2. Installation and re-installation procedures are described in detail
in member INSTALL (which also lists common Error/Warning messages a
new user might encounter), and sample JCL is in member JCLINSTT for
SAS Version 9.
MXG Definitions with regard to MXG Software Changes:
COMPATIBLE A change in a data record which did not alter either
COMPAT the location or the format of all of the previously-
kept MXG variables is COMPATIBLE, and you can continue
to run the old version of MXG software, which will read
the new records without error, but none of any new data
fields or any new record subtypes will be created/kept
until you install the MXG Version with this change.
INCOMPAT A change in a data record that causes the current MXG
version to fail, visibly or invisibly, with or without
error conditions or messages, and the output datasets
may contain wrong values and incomplete observations,
and/or observations may have been lost.
You MUST install the new MXG Version with this change
to process data records that have been INCOMPATIBLY
changed by their vendor.
TOLERATE In other words, the old MXG Version TOLERATES the new
data records, if they are COMPATIBLY changed.
EXPLOIT Once you use the new MXG Version to read the changed
records, all of the new fields, subtypes, etc, that are
described in this change will be created in the MXG
datasets, so the new MXG Version EXPLOITS the new data,
and you have full support of the new data records.
An MXG Version never "expires" nor "goes out of Support". When
you put in a new product/subsystem/Release/APAR that incompatibly
changed its records then you must install the current MXG Version
or at least be using the minimum level of MXG that is currently
documented in the preceding list in section IV.
COSMETIC Some Changes will start with COSMETIC. This indicates
that that change only alters a displayed value or may
be a spelling error in a label, but it is "cosmetic"
in that it ONLY affected the display, and the output
data sets created are NOT impacted by this change.
VI. Online Documentation of MXG Software.
MXG Documentation is now described in member DOCUMENT.
See also member INDEX, but it may be overwhelming.
VII. Changes Log
--------------------------Changes Log---------------------------------
You MUST read each Change description to determine if a Change will
impact your site. All changes have been made in this MXG Library.
Member CHANGES always identifies the actual version and release of
MXG Software that is contained in that library.
The CHANGES selection on our homepage at http://www.MXG.com
is always the most current information on MXG Software status,
and is frequently updated.
Important changes are also posted to the MXG-L ListServer, which is
also described by a selection on the homepage. Please subscribe.
The actual code implementation of some changes in MXG SOURCLIB may be
different than described in the change text (which might have printed
only the critical part of the correction that need be made by users).
Scan each source member named in any impacting change for any comments
at the beginning of the member for additional documentation, since the
documentation of new datasets, variables, validation status, and notes,
are often found in comments in the source members.

====== CHANGES THRU 38.234 ARE IN MXG 38.38 DATED Jan 4, 2021 ========
Change 38.234 zVPS/XAM datasets XAMIFLBY & XAMIFLTO now have zero obs.
VMACXAM Dataset XAMCPUTO contains the CPID=TOTAL/GPs/IFLs types
Dec 29, 2020 (TOTAL is all engines, GPS GP engines IFLS IFL engines)
for each interval. (Previously only had TOTAL and GPS).
The individual CPnn engine values are in XAMCPUBY and the
PFXCPUTY variable identifies if the engine is GP or IFL.
-HEX format added for CALMNEST RCCTOPDS DSVASSOC DSVUNPRK
-CPID is UPCASED so GPs or IFLs values will be GPS/IFLS.
Thanks to Douglas C. Walter, CITIGROUP, USA.
Change 38.233 Six variables added to TRNDRMFI:
VMXGRMFI MAXZIPBY - maximum PCTZIPBY
Dec 23, 2020 MAXZIPTM - maximum ZIP time
MAXZIETM - maximum ZIP eligible time
MAXCPUTM - maximum CPU time
CPCFNAME - processor type
LPARSHAR - initial LPAR share
to prevent UNINIT messages and missing values using
GRAFWRKX with PDB=TREND.
Change 38.232 ANAL119 report TNRPTS has TTTELUNA/APIREMOT UNINITIALIZED
ANAL119 if there is no //IPHOSTS file. Logic to read IPHOSTS was
Dec 21, 2020 revised to skip incomplete entries.
====== CHANGES THRU 38.231 WERE IN EARLY ADOPTER 38.38 Dec 23, 2020 ====
Change 38.231 GOUT is suppressed when running WPS since WPS does not
GRAFCEC support graphic catalogs. These members also did not
GRAFWRKX recognize PDB=TREND and printed blank pages when the
Dec 18, 2020 response variable was missing values in all OBS. Both
issues were corrected.
Change 38.230 -The UTILWORK report helps you set up RMFINTRV WORKLOADS.
UTILWORK If the sum of CPUTM from service classes is greater than
Dec 31, 2020 the sum for report classes that means not all workloads
have a report class defined and you may not use report
classes to define workloads. Now USERPRT is set to NO to
force using service class.
-If you have an environment with multiple plexes then the
WLM policies may be different. UTILWORK now adds SYSTEM
and SYSPLEX to the skeleton RMFINTRV member. These can be
removed in your editing of the member if they are not
needed in your environment.
Change 38.229 Four variables added to TRNDRMFI:
VMXGRMFI MAXZIPBY - maximum PCTZIPBY
Dec 18, 2020 MAXZIPTM - maximum ZIP time
MAXZIETM - maximum ZIP eligible time
MAXCPUTM - maximum CPU time
Change 38.228 Support for TMON/CICS changes to 4.1, INCOMPATIBLE
IMACTMO2 No ERROR Messages, but INVALID Values because fields were
VMACTMO2 increased from 4 to 8 bytes.
Dec 16, 2020 -MONIARQ dataset, TAARQRCN was increased to 8 bytes,
misaligning TAARQRTM,TAARQRCN,TAARQWTM TAARQTXT,TAARQICT
which were also increased to 8 bytes.
-MONISYS dataset. TIHDASSZ and TITERILG byte counts have
some negative values; they were 1E19 when INPUT as PIB8.
-MONITASK dataset PRIINCHR byte counts can be negative.
Variable FILEIOCN was increased to 8 bytes causing
FCDELCN,FCGETCN,FCBROCN,FCADDCN and FCUPDCN to be wrong
and those fields were also increased to 8 bytes.
-MONIEXT dataset. All EBCDIC64 variables translate '00'x
to a blank.
-MONIDBDS dataset, for DB2 the VOLSER starts with two null
bytes and only the last four bytes are populated.
-MONIAWT dataset. TAAWTTCN was increased to 8 bytes
misaligning TAAWTTTM TAAWTFLG TAAWTWRC TAAWTWRT variables
that were also increased to 8 bytes.
-MEMBER IMACTMO2 example enables TMON exit in SYSIN; using
the EXITMON6/TMON Infile Exit saves significant CPU time.
Thanks to MP Welch, Bank of America. USA.
Change 38.227 SMF 119 Subtype 3 FCBYTES with z/OS 2.1 is wrong; there
VMAC119 are two inputs, the original PIB8 64-bit binary field and
Dec 16, 2020 the RB8 float field added to support larger values. Data
records with valid binary (9.2 million) and invalid float
(1.16225) values are created, and that float value is the
one that is output. This change inputs float as FCBYTES2
IF FCBYTES2 GT FCBYTES THEN FCBYTES=FCBYTES2;
Thanks to Perry Lim, MUFG Union Bank, USA.
Change 38.226 -ASMRMFV when processing RMF III CFIG3 can issue a warning
ASMRMFV message: RMFV035W **WARNING: DETAIL nnn CFI TABLES
Dec 14, 2020 SKIPPED DUE TO VALIDATION ERRORS : ***PLEASE CONTACT
SUPPORT@MXG.COM***
-Change number 38.188 incorrectly altered CFIG3 table
processing when validating Connection entries.
-Affects only ASMRMFV at 38.188 level,MXG version 38.09-10
Thanks to MP Welch, Bank of America, USA.
Thanks to Gary Wyper, Natwest, ENGLAND
Thanks to Rob D'Andrea, Natwest, ENGLAND.
Change 38.225 WPS did not support Views so the MXG Defaults MXGVIEW=NO.
VMXGINIT Current WPS versions now support views. You can use
WPSVIEWS //SYSIN DD
Dec 12, 2020 %INCLUDE SOURCLIB(WPSVIEWS);
to enable their use to save CPU and I/O resources.
Change 38.224 ERROR: OPTION NOT FOUND if your UTILBLDP has SUPPRESS=ID
ANALID to prevent that dataset from being created. Originally in
UTILBLDP Change 38.056, and partially corrected in 38.174, this
Dec 12, 2020 change protects ANALID for DONEANALID case.
Change 38.223 If you used %LET MXGCLASSNWAY=YES in SYSIN for %VMXGSUM,
VMXGSUM to set CLASSNWAY=YES, VMXGSUM ignored it and it caused an
Dec 12, 2020 ERROR: DSNAME NOT FOUND trying to delete VMXGSUM1. See
Change 34.137 which introduced CLASSNWAY.
Change 38.222 Support for APAR OA60306 which adds 8-byte memory metrics
VMAC92 for more than 2GB in type 92 subtype 12 and 23 records:
Dec 10, 2020 TYPE9212: SMF92MLSZ='BYTES*BEING*MEMORY*MAPPED'
TYPE9213: SMF92MULSZ='BYTES*BEING*MEMORY*MAPPED'
Change 38.221 Support for SYSTEM 2000 Flat File, work in progress.

Change 38.220 z/OS 2.2, MXG 38.09-.10 SMF 90 ST 9 ABEND INPUT EXCEEDED
VMAC90A RECORD LENGTH because MXG added INPUT of SMF90STE in MXG
Dec 5, 2020 Change 38.186 SMF Manual Update, but IBM added that field
in z/OS 2.3. Now, it is kept and INPUT if it exists.
Use this statement in //SYSIN to circumvent the ABEND:
%LET MACFILE= %QUOTE(IF ID=90 AND SUBTYPE=9 THEN DELETE;);
The subtype 9 is only written for an IPL SMF event,
Thanks to Randy Hewitt, DXC, USA.
Change 38.219 -Labels for S42DSGSR/S42DSLSR/S42DSRLS/S42DSNSR removed
VMAC42 "COMPRESSED"; only if S42DSEFC='Y' are they compressed.
Dec 10, 2020 Labels S42AMRIB/S42AMWIB are now VSAM*BYTES*read/write,
S42DSHWR label corrected to COUNT and S42DSIOS changed.
to S42DSIOS='TOTAL METRO*MIRROR*IO-S'.
Thanks to Michael Friske, FMR, USA.
Change 38.218 Change 36.049 added and extra / causing a failure to
VGETALOC communicate with the operating system and could result in
Dec 3, 2020 no allocations and a failure of a following VMXGSET. Now
there should be only 1.
Thanks to Ken Pressley, SRPNET, USA.
Change 38.217 -NOTRAN attribute support for WPS is added in VMXGINIT so
VMXGINIT that z/OS WPS datasets can be downloaded to ASCII and the
TESSOTHR $HEX formatted variables will not be translated. See
VMACXDFG Change 27.014 for the &MXGNOTRA/&MXGNOTRB addition.
VMACXDNS -TESSOTHR and the six VMACXDxx members were updated for
VMACXDSP WPS QA. A test for &SASVER prevented their WPS execution.

Change 38.212 In the TYPE70EN dataset, when the engine was parked for
VMAC7072 the full interval, PCTCPUBY and PCTMVSBY could be small
Nov 20, 2020 negative values due to resolution differences in DURATM
with 2 decimals and SMF70PAT with 6. Now, the negative
value is replaced with zero.

Thanks to Martha A. Knapik, Progressive, USA.
Thanks to Craig S. Bigler, Progressive, USA
Thanks to Diana L. Laskovich, Progressive, USA.
Change 38.204 Type 42 St 5 MXG logic to correctly calculate SRLEN was
VMAC42 exposed to INPUT STATEMENT EXCEEDED LENGTH error because
Nov 17, 2020 SRLEN=160 is valid, but the optional SYNC segment length
Nov 19, 2020 is included in SRLENGTH=OFFVOL-OFFSR which misled to
the incorrect recalculation, which is now bypassed.
Thanks to Andrew Petersen, DXC, AUSTRALIA.
Change 38.203 CHANGE 37.267 added an ERROR:INCORRECT ENCODING message
VMXGINIT on the log, but the code was inserted before &OPSYS was
Nov 17, 2020 populated, so the message was never printed.

Change 38.197 -Updates to ASMVVDS program that reads VVDS records with
ASMVVDS output to a sequential flat file and/or output as SMF
JCLASMXG records.
Nov 4, 2020 -Default setting of 0 for @UCB31 (UCBs below 16MB) line
changed to a setting of 1 (UCBs above 16MB) which is more
appropriate for modern z/OS systems.
-Two assembly errors are also fixed.
-NOTE: ASMVVDS must be APF authorized. That requires parm
of AC(1) in program binder step and the load library must
also be authorized.
-See ASMVVDS source member for full installation and usage
instructions.
-Sample JCL for assembly and linkedit of ASMVVDS was added
to member JCLASMXG (which Assembles all MXG ASM program).

Change 38.188 -New MXG variables EXECVEL (Execution Velocity) and
ADOCRMFV PERFINDX (Performance Index) are added to PDB data set
ASMRMFV ZRBRCDT (RMF III RESPTIME SERVICE CLASSES).
VMACRMFV -New MXG variable EXECVEL (Execution Velocity) added to
Oct 27, 2020 PDB data set ZRBRCDX (RMF III RESPTIME REPORTING
CLASSES).
-If for some reason a Response Time Distribution Array was
not present in the RCDG3 RMF III table the corresponding
Service Class or Report Class period would not be output
to the PDB.
-Rarely RMF III may generate an SSHG3 (Sample Set Header)
table where the sample begin datetime and sample end
datetime are the same. Effectively this is a null table
with zero samples. With this condition an Abend S002 in
ASMRMFV is possible.
-ASMRMFV will now detect this condition, then issue a new
RMFV023W message:
**WARNING: SAMPLE START/STOP DATE TIMES ARE IDENTICAL.
ENTIRE SAMPLE SET WILL BE SKIPPED***
and the entire SSHG3 table will be skipped and output to
the RMFSKIP DD file (if present).
-This condition may be due to the timing sequence in a
system shutdown process. Both RMFGAT and RMF Started
Tasks should be completely terminated before the process
continues.
-Warning message RMFV022W was not formatted correctly.
-Warning message RMFV023W was duplicated.
-Section 12 Messages in ADOCRMFV updated to include the
new RMFV023W message.
-TUTORIAL 1:
Execution Velocity is a WLM measurement based on system
states which are continuously collected by sampling.
System states describe when a work request uses a system
resource (a using state) and when it must wait for it
because it is used by other work (a delay state).
# Using Samples
Execution Velocity = --------------------------- * 100
# Using + # Delay Samples
Execution Velocities thus range from 0 to 100.
A value of 100 means the unit of work is running with no
WLM DETECTED delays. A value of 0 means the that unit of
work is not running at all either because it has no
access to the resources needed or it is idle.
The Execution Velocity formula does not include the
unknown state. This state includes delays not tracked by
WLM, such as locks or enqueues. So an Execution Velocity
of 100 does not necessarily mean the work unit is running
totally unencumbered.
-TUTORIAL 2:
Performance Index (PI) is a calculation of how well work
is meeting its WLM defined goal.
For work with response time goals, the Performance Index
is the actual response divided by the goal response.
For work with velocity goals, the Performance Index is
the goal velocity divided by actual velocity.
A Performance Index of 1.0 indicates the Service Class
period is exactly meeting its goal. A Performance Index
greater than 1 indicates the Service class period is
missing its goal. A Performance Index of less than 1.0
indicates the Service Class period is beating its goal.
Work with a Discretionary goal is defined to have a fixed
Performance Index of .81 . Service Classes for System
address space have no Performance Index as they do not
have goals.
Each Service Class period has a Sysplex and a Local
Performance Index.
The Sysplex Performance Index represents the performance
of a Service Class period across all systems in the

Change 38.187 -If you suppressed CICSSTAT that also unintentionally
UTILBLDP suppressed ASUMUOW and ASUMCICX. Now if you want to
Oct 27, 2020 suppress ASUMUOW ASUMDBAA or ASUMDBSS you can add them to
the SUPPRESS= parameter by name. In the case of ASUMUOW
this also suppresses ASUMCICX but if you did not suppress
CICSTRAN then ASUMCICS is substituted. These four members
CICSSTAT ASUMUOW ASUMDBAA and ASUMDBSS are all resource
intensive, and if you don't use them you can save those
resources by suppressing them.
-If you suppressed ID and used BUILDPDB=JES3 you got an
error message that the type of VIEW could not be
determined. There were many other spots which looked only
for YES or NO that were fixed. The value of BUILDPDB is
now validated and if it is not blank, NO, YES, or JES3
UTILBLDP will end with error messages.
Change 38.186 MXG estimate of DOWNTM prior to an IPL used the PREVTIME
VMAC0 of the last record, but what was needed was the PREVTIME
VMAC90A of the ID=0 record, and the IPLTIME of the ID=0 is now
Oct 26, 2020 retained in TMP0TIME and used for the IPLTIME in the
DOWNTM calculation in the ID=90 ST=10 IPL SRM record.
-Processing ID=0 record, the GMTOFF was off by one second.
-Variable SMF90STE was INPUT, but see Change 38.220 ABEND.
Thanks to Tore Hansson, IBM Services, NORWAY.
Change 38.185 MXG 38.03 Change 38.051 set MXGABND=1 for missing SMFTIME
VMACSMF value when using the SAS FTP Access Method, because we
VMXGINIT have seen that associated with an FTP "hang" until it was
Oct 21, 2020 cancelled, and by forcing an ABEND you can avoid the hang
and if you've pointed the LOG option to a file, you can
see if there were other error conditions. But MXGABND is
is macro variable used in many members so you can choose
an ABEND instead of ERROR messages (like TYPE110, where
some sites want an ABEND alert when EXCLUDED FIELDS are
detected). In this case, the CPUTM GT ELAPSED condition
in TYPE110 tested MXGABND GT 0 and cause an unwanted
ABEND. Now, macro variable SMFMISS is created and can be
used to cause the abend when SMFTIME is missing using the
FTP access method, using %LET SMFMISS=NNN; in your SYSIN
to cause ABORT ABEND NNN instead of the ERROR and a hang.

Change 38.184 MXG 38.08. ERROR: File WORK.PDBTYPE70.DATA does not exist
VMXG70PR if you tailor and invoke %VMXG70PR with no PDB= argument.
Oct 19, 2020 We recommend you always use %INCLUDE SOURCLIB(ASUM70PR);
instead of putting a tailored VMXG70PR in USERID because
IBM changes may require incompatible changes in VMXG70PR,
but we can protect ASUM70PR from the need for change.
In general, if there is an ASUMxxxx that invokes VMXGxxxx
its always safer to use the ASUMxxxx member.

Change 38.183 -The detail report did not correctly report outages. The
ANALAVAI beginning was the beginning of the interval when it came
Oct 29, 2020 back up and the ending was the time when that interval
Nov 4, 2020 ended.
-A new month-to-date summary report was added and the
availability is now calculated as the
(uptime-outagetime + scheduledtime)/86400*100;
-Changed Parameter values:
CYCLE=M1 has not been changed but a null value will
let you accumulate many months of data.
- New Parameters:
MINOUTAGE=5 number of outage seconds to ignore
OUTCODE= a stub of code just after PCTAVAIL is
calculated
SCHEDULED= stub of code allowing you to specify
scheduled outages for each app.
see doc and examples in member.
Update in MXG 38.09 dated Nov 4, 2020:
If you were not very careful building schedules and
outages, duplicate obs could skew percentages. SORTS with
NDDUP added to eliminate duplicate obs. Also outages were
not carried into month totals resulting in availability GT
100%.
An Example of invoking %ANALAVAI:
When building schedules it is critical that you always
output either outages or scheduled for each app with a
schedule.

UTILBLDP invalid compare on several FLAGxx macro variables used to
Oct 21, 2020 keep track of suppressed items for BUILDPDB. SUPPRESS= is
ignored when BUILDPDB is set to NO as the only records
read are those in USERADD=. Comments updated for MXGINCL.

Change 38.181 -New ASMRMFV Field Data Filter (FDF) support for the RMF
ADOCRMFV III Coupling Facility Information Table (CFIG3).
ASMRMFV -New Section 33 Filtering The CFIG3 Table added to
Oct 16, 2020 documentation member ADOCRMFV. Following section
numbers all incremented by 1.
-FDF filtering is supported for the Header, Coupling
Facility, Structure, and Structure Extension sections in
the RMF III CFIG3 table.
-After a Structure Extension section in CFIG3 with no
connections occurs, ASMRMFV did not output following
connection entries for subsequent Structure Extensions in
the same Coupling Facility to RMFBSAM.
-TUTORIAL:
The result of a FDF IF=/ORIF=/ANDIF= expression compare
is one of the following:
TRUE FALSE IGNORE
An expression is IGNOREd when:
1) The input RMF III data is for a release that does not
support the Fieldname. This is the most common reason.
IBM may have discontinued the Fieldname, moved it to
another offset with a different Fieldname, or added it in
a higher RMF release than the data being processed.
2) The RMF III table section containing the Fieldname is
absent. Not every section is always present in every RMF
III table. Some sections depend on RMF III startup
options.
NOTE: In the case of the CFIG3 table the Structure
Extension, Connections, and/or Storage Class Memory
sections may not exist. In some cases the Structure
and/or Channel Path sections may not exist. The CFIG3
does not exist at all for LPARs running as z/VM guests.
3) The known offset for Fieldname is beyond the length of
the table section being processed. This could be an
internal ASMRMFV or RMF III error.
4) ASMRMFV treats an IGNORE condition as a TRUE condition
and the data is NOT filtered.
-Example:
The Fieldname CFISTMAE is part of the Structure Extension
section in the CFIG3 table. But if NOCFDETAIL is in
effect in the RMF Monitor III start options, then the
Structure Extension section will not exist for that LPAR.
Assume there are 35,020 structures in the RMF III VSAM
file for the CFIG3 table. Recall that the table is
generated for each RMF III MINTIME interval.
The IF expression is:
RMFV002I SYSIN : IF=(CFISTMAE GT 0)
RMFV088I IF= : CFISTMAE GT 0 X'00000000'
The result will be:
RMFV080I COMPARES: TRUE= 0 FALSE= 0 IGNORE= 35,520
TOTAL= 35,520

Change 38.166 New utility that will help you decide if you should run
UTILUOW ASUMUOW and whether you should use CASE1 or CASE2 from
Oct 1, 2020 IMACUOW if you do decide to run it. ASUMUOW is used to
create the ASUMUOW observations for each UOW in an MRO
by combining the CICSTRAN observations from TOR/AOR/DOR
so you have the valid TRANNAME for the CSMI transactions.
If there is little use of MRO, then it is not worth the
CPU expense. And if there is MRO usage, you need to chose
CASE1 or CASE2 for your IMACUOW tailoring.
Change 38.165 Error "Attempt to open two sequential members" if PDBOUT
READDB2 is on tape (which we DO NOT RECOMMEND) and ACCTSORT=NO
Sep 30, 2020 is specified with READDB2. A circumvention that creates
only the below account datasets is to use TYPSDB2:
%cleardb2;
%let mackeep=%quote(
macro _sdb2acp data _lDb2acp; set _wdb2acp; %
macro _sdb2acr data _lDb2acr; set _wdb2acr; %
macro _sdb2acg data _lDb2acg; set _wdb2acg; %
macro _sdb2acw data _lDb2acw; set _wdb2acw; %
macro _sdb2pat data _lDb2pat; set _wdb2pat; %
);
%include sourclib(typsdb2);
But if your READDB2 did selection (like SSID), that PDB
could have a lot more observations, and any other IFCID
in the original READDB2 would not be created.
An alternative is to use READDB2 but point PDBOUT to a
temporary disk data library, and then PROC COPY to the
tape data library, so all selections are supported.
But the temp disk data library could be quite large,
and might require multi-volumes.
Change 38.164 Support for APAR PH03207 for DFSORT ZSORT statistics that

Change 38.148 VMXGSUM calls were added to prevent errors or warnings
VMXGSUM when deleting work files that do not always exist.
Sep 10, 2020
Change 38.147 ACCTSORT=NO was not suppressing SORTS and caused
READDB2 accounting datasets to be sorted to output libname
Sep 12, 2020 instead of being directly written to libname when
PDBOUT=libname, and any redirects of output (eg.
DB2ACCTP to libname DB2ACCTP) were not honored.
-IFCIDS=DB2GBPAT was not recognized; now is.

VMXGDUR interval LT the actual duration in the data the results
Sep 10, 2020 may not be what is expected. VMXGDUR now detects this
when the input data contains a DURATM variable and puts
an MXGNOTE on the log.

Change 38.143 -Variable CFISCVER in ZRBSCM is replaced by CFISCVERCH as
VMACRMFV that variable should have been input as $CHAR8, but was
Aug 28,2020 incorrectly INPUT as a datetime, and name must be changed
to prevent errors if merging old and new ZRBSCM.
-Variables CFISCMAX,CFISCFAU,CFISCIAU,CFISIUS were not
multiplied by 4096 to store bytes instead of KB.
Change 38.142 -When creating PDB.ASUMCELP and PDB.ASUMCEC datasets with
ASUM70PR CECINTRV=HOUR, from PDB.TYPE70/PDB.TYPE70PR with QTRHOUR
ASUM70WK intervals, the ASUMCELP/ASUMCEC has 23 valid hourly obs,
VMXG70PR with two additional obs, one from the last interval of
Aug 25, 2020 yesterdaq with (DURATM 15 min) and one from the last hour
of today (DURATM 45 min). To report only full hours, you
can select obs with IF DURATM GT 3400; in your reports.
-This new ASUM70WK program reads your WEEK.TYPE70/70PR to
create two weekly hourly WEEK.ASUMCEHR and WEEK.ASUMLPHR
(like CEC/CELP) with all intervals one hour. The two
partial intervals are not output, but they are from the
SMFDUMP time on the weekends and presumably unimportant.
-Enhancements were needed in VMXG70PR.
-The PDB= argument for the libname of input datasets was
incorrectly ignored, and the &PTY70 and &PTY7072 tokens
were used. Now it will be used, but VMXG70PR checks for
the existence of TYPE70 & TYPE70PR if PDB= is nonblank,
and terminates if either has zero obs or isn't there.
-New PDBOUT= argument names the output LIBNAME for the
two new datasets, if argument is non-blank.
-OUTCODE70PR= Your SAS code that will let you control
what observations are output to ASUM70PR.
-OUTCODE70LP= Your SAS code that will let you control
what observations are output to ASUM70LP.
-OUTCODECEC = Your SAS code that will let you control

====== CHANGES THRU 38.141 ARE IN MXG 38.07 DATED Aug 22, 2020 ========
Change 38.141 -Processing CICS Statistics records in BUILDPDB can be
EXCICLDR very CPU/Elasped intensive for very little daily value.
EXCICSDR The SMF 110 Subtype 2 records are tactical data for the
EXCICSMD resolution of CICS problems, which happen so rarely that
EXCICSMT it would be better to only process them with TYPS110-2 if
EXCICTCR and when your CICS folks actually have need of that data.
EXCICXMR IBM CICINTRV dataset default 3 hour interval is also not
SCICSORT much use for tactical analysis. To suppress processing
VMXGCICI of the statistics records in BUILDPDB/TYPE110
Aug 21, 2020 you can insert this at the top of your //SYSIN
Aug 21, 2020 %LET MACFILE=
%QUOTE( IF ID=110 AND SUBTYPE=2 THEN DELETE;);
With UTILBLDP, SUPPRESS=CICSSTAT will suppress sorts and
CICINTRV and all of the Statistics datasets will have
obs so they take no space, but will exist so subsequent
reports won't fail.
And if you ONLY want CICSTRAN with no other account nor
statistics datasets, add this and the MACFILE to SYSIN.
%LET MACKEEP= %QUOTE
(_N110 _S110 MACRO _WCICTRN CICSTRAN.CICSTRAN % );
%INCLUDE SOURCLIB(TYPE110);
(and always have a blank between percent and paren).
-For sites that do use those data, there are large counts
of observations created during intervals of no activity
that increased CPU, elapsed time and disk space needed.
For example CICXMR created 1,173,518 obs in WORK.CICXMR
but only 4061 obs were output in PDB.CICXMR. With this
change, these seven datasets are only output in WORK if
there was activity: FCR LDR SDR SMD SMT TCR XMR, but that
test can be tailored to create all obs in the EXCICxxx.
-%INCLUDE SOURCLIB(UCICSCNT) will report how many obs were
written to SMF and not output for each STID. MXG member
IMAC110 documents the CICxxxxx dataset for each STID.
-This change significantly reduced the CPU and elapsed
time for a 5GB SMF file with lots of "idle" hours, with
lots of regions, ET from 17:24 to 6:21, CPU 517 to 258.
There were 104 Regions and the data was from a Monday.

Change 38.129 -Writing SMF with SYNC=59 has NEVER BEEN RECOMMENDED, it
VMXG70PR was required with MICS, and while MXG summarization can
Jul 30, 2020 take it into account, there is intrinsic inaccuracy as
Aug 13, 2020 only SYNC=0 will provide exact 00,15:30:45 intervals.
The hourly summarization in VMXG70PR forces those exact
interval start to the exact value, but other RMF datasets
will still have 59:14:29:44 starts. This change creates
the new OUTCODE70PR argument for VMXG70PR, which you can
add in your ASUM70PR member's invocation of VMXG70PR:
%VMXG70PR (PDB=PDB,INTERVAL=QTRHOUR,CECINTRV=HOUR,
OUTCODE70PR= STARTIME=STARTIME-60;
SMF70GIE=SMF70GIE-60;);
-A blank TITLE was added at the end to prevent carry.
Thanks to Linda Berkeley, DISA Mainframe, USA.
Change 38.128 -ASMRMFV Field Data Filter (FDF) support for the RMF III
ADOCRMFV XCF Activity Data Table (XCFG3) and an IMPORTANT FDF FIX.
ASMRMFV -The Field Data Filter (FDF) feature of RMF III was added
Jul 30, 2020 in MXG Change 37.089 and allows you to filter raw RMF
reducing the size of the created RMFBSAM file. You can
filter table entries based on one or more numeric and/or
character fields, and is intended for advanced MXG users
building ad hoc data collection of RMF III data.
-ASMRMFV FDF can fail to correctly translate X'00'
characters to X'40' blank characters for RMF III field
names in FDF expressions that can contain nulls. This can
cause filter comparisons to be FALSE instead of TRUE.
-The example JCLRMFV/JCLCRMFV/JCLDRMFV members have been
integrated into Sections 48, 49, 50 in ADOCRMFV, with new
FDF examples; the old members are pointers to ADOCRMFV.
- J is now an alias for SCM table selection.
- -J is now an alias for SCM table exclusion.

51 Summary
-TUTORIAL:
This level of ASMRMFV introduces the concept of
Independent Data Sections when using FDF.
An Independent Section is an ASMRMFV term for a RMF III
data section containing data unrelated to other sections
in the same RMF Monitor III table. Examples of this are
the Group Data, Path Data, and System Data Sections of
the XCFG3 table.
ASMRMFV does not support logical FDF ANDing of filters
from two different Independent Sections because the data
is not logically related.
ASMRMFV FDF processes each Independent Section
separately. If ANDIF= expressions for 2 fields in two
different Independent Sections occur FDF will bypass any
IF expressions for fields not contained in the section
being currently processed.
Data dictionary sections in ADOCRMFV for tables now
identify the Section when Independent Sections are
applicable an RMF III table.
Change 38.127 Using ANAL119 with PDB=SMF without a PDBOUT=, 0 OBS were
ANAL119 found for the FTP report. Now if PDBOUT= is null PDB is
Jul 30, 2020 set to &MXGWORK.
Thanks to Jennifer D. Ayers, West Virginia Government, USA.
Change 38.126 When SMF Logger outputs sysplex data for multiple systems
VMAC7072 records are interleaved, so it is no longer possible to
VMXGINIT retain TYPE70 variables like CECSER/CPCMODEL from the 70
Jul 29, 2020 into the TYPE72GO dataset, where they are frequently
missing values. This change revises the _STY72GO dataset
sort macro to sort and merge the two datasets to populate
CECSER and CPCMODEL whenever possible (if a 70 ends an
SMF dataset, the subsequent 72 read tomorrow won't have a
matching 70 even with the new sorting logic).
-All of the 7072 processing programs that sort and create
PDB datasets, like BUILDPDB/BLDSMPDB/UTILBLDP/TYPS7072
already invoke the _STY72GO macro so this change will be
transparent. However, if you use only TYPE7072 to write
only to //WORK, you will need to use this syntax to sort
and create the correctly populated TYPE72GO dataset:
%INCLUDE SOURCLIB(TYPE7072);
%LET PTY70=WORK;
%LET PTY72GO=WORK;
_STY72GO;
RUN;
-And new macro variable &SSTY72GO is added in _STY72GO so
you can insert code to create new variables from the
CECSER/CPCMODEL variables into your TYPE72GO dataset.
Thanks to Kurt Gramling, T-SYS, USA.
Change 38.125 Change 38.117 test for QLSTVRSN='000001' was changed to

VMAC92 both subtypes are now output in TYPE9211 and SMF92STP is
Jul 23, 2020 kept to identity which subtype was output.
Thanks to Nathan Lowenthal, CITIGROUP, USA.
Change 38.118 -ASMRMFV FDF message RMFV088I can be incorrectly formatted
ASMRMFV showing the hex value of a number in an IF expression
JCLASM3 as zeros. Processing is not impacted. The message only
Jul 21, 2020 appears when FDF is used.
-After Change 38.082 to reduce SYSOUT output from an
ASMRMFV assembly condition code 0002 can occur after an
assembly. The XREF(SHORT) option in the JCLASM3 sample
member is no longer required. ASMRMFV will override this
value to NOXREF, so no JCL change is required.

TECHNOTE - z/OS ONLY
Jul 8, 2020
The PDB library written by BUILDPDB CAN'T BE ON TAPE, neither
REAL TAPE or VIRTUAL TAPE or V9SEQ libraries on DASD.
We have NEVER recommended the PDB be written directly to TAPE
because BUILDPDB reads and writes to and from //PDB, multiple
times, and since sequential datasets have no directory, each
action requires a rewind to the beginning of the dataset and a
read until it finds the desired dataset, increasing run time.
And PROC DATASETS fails with ERROR: Proc Datasets is not able
to process a sequential library. Consider using PROC CONTENTS
or PROC COPY instead.
If you want your PDB on TAPE, point //PDB to Temporary DASD,
then PROC COPY to TAPE dataset at the end.
The more insidious issue is the potential for lost data.
Assume that you want to create a SAS data library with
datasets A B C D and then find that you need to rewrite
dataset B to add a variable. You can do it but you would then
lose datasets C and D PERMANENTLY. If you try to access them
you will get a DATASET x NOT FOUND error.
SAS Technical Support documentation for sequential libraries:
Due to the nature of sequential devices, SAS allows only two
types of operations with members of a sequential bound
library:
-reading an existing member and writing a new copy
-writing a new copy of a member to the library.
The following types of operations are not
supported for sequential access bound libraries.
-Having multiple members in the library open at same time
-Updating the contents or attributes of a member of the
library
-Renaming or deleting a member of the library.
-Using BLKSIZE GT 32760 with SAS 9.4M1 or earlier which did
not support LBI. Error is ABEND 013 Return E1.
-PROC DATASETS is not able to process a sequential dataset.
CAUTION
SAS deletes all members of a sequential bound library that are
subsequent to the library member that you replace.
By default, when writing a member of a sequential bound
library, SAS scans the entire library from the beginning to
determine whether a member having the specified name already
exists in the library. If such a member already exists in the
library, then the new copy of the member is written starting
at the position in the library data set where the old copy of
the member began, and all subsequent members of the library
are deleted. If the specified member does not already exist in
the library, it is appended to the end of the library. This
behavior is not influenced by the REPLACE system option
because NOREPLACE is not supported by the TAPE engine.
When the FILEDISP=NEW data set option is specified for a
member to be written to a sequential access bound library, SAS
replaces all of the members that previously existed in the
library, even if they were protected by an ALTER password. The
ALTER password is not checked even for the member being
replaced.
When the COPY procedure is used to write members to a
sequential access bound library, the rules regarding member
replacement (discussed in the previous topic) apply only to
the first member being processed by a COPY statement or PROC
COPY invocation. All other members involved in the COPY
operation are appended to the end of the library data even if
they already exist in the library. Therefore, it is possible
to cause a library to contain two copies of the member, only
the first of which is recognized. You should plan all COPY
operations carefully so that you avoid this outcome.
Some specialized SAS procedures repeatedly process a group of
observations that have the same value for a specific variable.
This situation requires SAS to interrupt its sequential access
pattern and reposition to a previous location in the library
data set. However, SAS does not support repositioning to a
location on a previous volume of a multi-volume tape data set.
When this situation occurs, SAS issues the following error
message:
ERROR: A POINT operation was attempted on sequential library
SEQLIB.
A volume switch has occurred on this library since the last
NOTE operation, making the POINT results unpredictable.
Should this situation occur, you can avoid the limitation by
copying the member to a library on disk.
When using the LIBNAME statement to dynamically allocate SAS
libraries on tape, it is not possible to simultaneously
allocate multiple MVS data sets on the same tape volume.
Therefore, it is necessary to use the SAS LIBNAME CLEAR
statement to deassign the library before you attempt to assign
another MVS data set on the tape.
The mode in which SAS opens the library data set is primarily
governed by the type of access that is being performed. When
reading a member, listing the members in the library, or
retrieving information about the library, the library data set
is opened for INPUT. When writing a member, the library data
set is opened for INOUT (unless DISP=NEW and the data set has
not been previously opened. In that case, OUTIN is used). SAS
does not write to a library that is allocated with DISP=SHR or
LABEL=(,,,IN), issuing an ERROR message instead. Before
opening the library data set, SAS first checks the RACF
authorization, but only for libraries that reside on disk, and
only if NOFILEAUTHDEFER is in effect.

Change 38.103 -MXG 38.03/38.04 TYPE7072 fails if PDB is on TAPE, with
E2TY70 ERROR: DATASET PDB.TYPE70PR NOT FOUND (after it had been
VMAC7072 created, and there was no DELETE statement on the log).
Jun 30, 2020 -Changing from TAPE to DASD accidentally circumvents the
error that was introduced in Change 38.055.
-But this correction in VMAC7072 is INCOMPATIBLE requiring
you to see IF YOU HAVE MEMBER E2TY70 in your tailoring
'USERID.SOURCLIB' library, as you must change _LTY70 to
_WTY70 in that member. Fortunately, I doubt any site
has actually ever used that obscure exit member, and with
this change, the MXG default is _WTY70.
-But we have NEVER recommended the PDB library be on
tape for the BUILDPDB process for several reasons:
-tapes have no directory, so the full tape has to be
read from the start to find each dataset, and
-BUILDPDB has many datasets that are written to and
then read from the PDB library, causing many rewinds
which increases the job run time.

Change 38.099 Sorts of CICS stats sometimes calculated negative DURATM
VMAC110 values for CICS statistics datasets. We also found that
SCICSORT some no longer needed to be deaccumulated. The sort order
UTILBLDP was changed to correct the DURATMs and the DIF logic was
VMXGCICI removed. In addition, only the records which contained
Jul 3, 2020 activity are now output. VMXGCICI was revised to remove
sorts and DIFs that were being done and many steps were
eliminated since it is now a single VMXGSUM execution.
-The CICLDR dataset was missing obs and incorrectly
and accidentally had a number of LDGxxxxx variables
that are now removed. Note that the new logic will
only output observations that had activity. For LDR,
there were 1,098,909 WORK.CICLDR observations but
only 2982 obs were in PDB.CICLDR that actually had
any activity.
-CICFCR dataset now only contains obs with activity,
with 15195 WORK.CICFCR and only 214 PDB.CICFCR.
-Protection for new MNSEGCL=5 5th and 6th triplets for
URIMAP and WEBSVC prevents a STOPOVER, but the two new

ERROR: A lock is not available for WORK.OPTVAR.DATA when
executing MXG on WINDOWS (could be another file name).
The SAS Support reply:
-The lock on the file means the file is locked by another
processes when SAS tries to lock it. That other process
is often a third party application. SAS opens data sets
to update them but closes them at the end of the PROC or
DATA STEP. It is when the data set is closed that the 3rd
party applications open the files (i.e. lock them) and
prevent the next PROC or DATA STEP from opening the data
set. In some cases for a fraction of a second.
-In most cases, a good workaround is to set FILELOCKWAIT
at the top of your sasv9.cfg.
-You can find the location of your sasv9.cfg with
PROC OPTIONS OPTION=CONFIG; RUN;
-How to edit the sasv9.cfg:
The default SAS configuration file(sasv9.cfg) on Windows
is almost always protected by User Account Control (UAC)
because it is in c:\program files. Run notepad (or other
plain text editor like Notepad++) as an administrator to
edit the configuration file so that you can save changes.
-Wikipedia has a good definition of UAC here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_Account_Control
-Click the start circle or go to the start screen so you
can search for notepad in white box type notepad to
search for it(do not open yet)
-Right click on notepad|notepad++ and choose "Run as
Administrator".
-In notepad click File | Open.
-Change the file type you are looking for to all files
*.*
-Browse to the configuration path referenced above and
open the sasv9.cfg
-Make the change and save the sasv9.cfg. (you can leave
it open)
-You do not need to restart your machine and you can do
this live on a system. Any SAS session already running
will not have the setting but all future SAS sessions
will have the setting(s).
-ONLY USE A PLAIN TEXT EDITOR, DO NOT USE MICROSOFT WORD
TO EDIT THE SASV9.CFG
-After you start a new session of SAS you can check
that you have the setting by submitting:
PROC OPTIONS OPTION=FILELOCKWAIT;RUN;
-An alternative: copy sasv9.cfg to another directory, and
add to your SAS startup command:
-config 'newdir\sas.cfg'

BUT TEN YEARS AGO, MXG NEWSLETTER FIFTY-FIVE, Jan 20, 2010 Reported:
8. Exposure on Windows to FAIL/ABEND with LOCK NOT AVAILABLE ERROR.
SAS Technical Support confirms that execution of SAS under Windows
has ALWAYS been exposed to a LOCK NOT AVAILABLE error because any
file's lock can be "grabbed" by another process at any time, even
a SAS dataset file in the WORK data library! MXG creates a dataset
WORK.ZZdddddd with PROC SORT, reads it with SET ZZdddddd and then
PROC DELETE DATA=ZZdddddd. But in several QA runs under Windows 7,
SAS lost its file lock after the DATA step closed successfully,
causing the PROC DELETE to fail, terminating the QA job:
-"Lock held by another process" is probably caused by a backup
program, antivirus program, encryption, or an indexing
application like Google Desktop that is accessing or touching
the SAS temporary files while they are in use by SAS. If a
backup program or virus scan is running on an interval, that
would explain why the problem is intermittent.
-To fix the lock, add the file extensions used by SAS to the
exclude list of the interfering application; you should exclude
.lck , .sd2, .sc2 , .SPDS, and .Sas*
where the .SAS* wild card excludes these extensions:
.sas7bdat /* DATA */ .sas7bfdb /* FDB */
.sas7butl /* UTILITY */ .sas7bitm /* ITEMSTOR */
.sas7bput /* PUTILITY */ .sas7baud /* AUDIT */
.sas7bcat /* CATALOG */ .sas7bbak /* BACKUP */
.sas7bpgm /* PROGRAM */ .sas7bdmd /* DMDB */
.sas7bndx /* INDEX */ .sas7bods /* SASODS */
.sas7bvew /* VIEW */ .sas /* SAS program file */
.sas7bacs /* ACCESS */
.sas7bmdb /* MDDB */
Caution: careful when excluding non-temporary SAS data sets from
a backup. SAS Recommends that backups occur when SAS is not
running.
Caution two: other applications can use those suffixes:
SC2 - windows scheduler
SD2 - sound designer
LCK - database control
SPDS - ACROBAT
-If the problem application is not a backup program or virus scan
then the cause is still probably a third party program. A way to
determine which program(s) are causing the lock is to use
utility from Microsoft Sysinternals called Process Monitor. You
can download Process Monitor for free from Microsoft at
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/
bb896645.aspx?PHPSESSID=d926
Open Process Monitor, click filter and make these 3 changes:
1)Path "begins with" "%temp%\SAS Temporary Files"
(Click ADD) (use your work path name, if different).
2)Process Name is Sas.exe then Exclude (click Add)
3)Process Name is Explorer.exe then Exclude (click Add)
Click Apply and OK.
Then clear the log.
Then start SAS and run the SAS program that creates the lock
error. What Process Name(s) are listed in Process Monitor?
This particular filter doesn't always find the problem.
Usually the best advice is to ask your internal support team
for help using this tool to find the problem
We have not yet been able to identify what process grabbed the
file lock, because the lock conflict is intermittent.
BUT: The pathname of the WORK data library was NOT the
SAS Default, it did not contain the text "TEMP" nor "SAS
Temporary".
We have changed that pathname to the SAS default, and
there has not (YET!) been a lock conflict, so we
presume/assume that the process causing the conflict
automatically excluded scanning of directories with
"TEMP" in their name.

Change 38.082 -New ASMRMFV Field Data Filter (FDF) support for the RMF
ADOCRMFV III Enclave Data Table (ENCG3) and an IMPORTANT FIX.
ASMRMFV -The Field Data Filter (FDF) feature of RMF III was added
May 29, 2020 in MXG Change 37.089 and allows you to filter raw RMF
data values when ASMRMFV reads the RMF III VSAM file,
reducing the size of the created RMFBSAM file. You can
filter table entries based on one or more numeric and/or
character fields, and is intended for advanced MXG users
building ad hoc data collection of RMF III data.
Section 31 in ADOCRMFV documents the FDF implementation.
-ASMRMFV can issue incorrect error message RMFV086E FIELD
NAME IS INVALID for a FDF IF expression. Some Variable
Name Table (VNT) entries were missing a required flag
byte thus causing the search for the expression field
name to fail. But some expressions worked fine.
-This is a PERVASIVE problem with the FDF feature and any
MXG users needing to use FDF for RMF III data filtering
should use this version of ASMRMFV, as it impacts all use
of FDF with MXG 37.03 or later.
-ASMRMFV now supports RMF III table fields up to 512
characters in length such as the EDEACCT field in the
ENCG3 table.
-Message RMFV088I is upgraded to support to the new
extended field lengths. There can be several continuation
RMFV088I messages until all character data has been
displayed as well as the equivalent value as hex digits
(0-9, A-F).
-However, when EBCDIC characters are used in an IF
expression as the user provided value ASMRMFV has an
internal limit of 64 hex digits shown in the RMFV088I
message. This is to prevent long repetitive strings of
X'40' hex digits in RMFV088I. The character value is
displayed in full.
-TUTORIAL:
The ENCG3 Enclave Data Table contains some very large
character fields from 32 up to 512 bytes that have
bearing on how an IF expression for these is coded.
When a character string is used in an IF expression all
possible characters are shown in RMFV088I messages
including trailing blanks.
For large fields such as the 512 byte EDEACCT field this
can result in many RMFV088I continuation messages in the
ASMRMFV log showing only repetitive trailing blanks.
Use the ':' (colon) operator modifier in the IF
expression to control the number of RMFV088I messages and
improve the efficiency of the compare process as well.
In this case only the number of characters in the IF
expression are shown in RMFV088I and only those
characters are used in the compare process.
As an example in ASMRMFV SYSIN instead of coding:
IF=(EDEACCT EQ C'ABC') 512 characters shown in RMFV088I
and all 512 are compared.
Use:
IF=(EDEACCT EQ: C'ABC') 3 characters shown in RMFV088I
and only 3 characters compared.
-Assembler options NOXREF and NORXREF added internally to
reduce ASMRMFV assembly output by 41,000 lines or 22%.
-ASMRMFV now automatically uppercases user specified
values in IF expressions for:
Service Class Names
Report Class Names
Workload Names
Resource Group Names
For example:
IF=(ASICNM EQ 'hot batch')
becomes:
IF=(ASICNM EQ 'HOT BATCH')
The WLM ISPF application does not accept lower case
for these names and neither will ASMRMFV. Descriptions
for these names may be mixed case for WLM or ASMRMFV.
-PROCENC subroutine was outputting one less ENCG3 entry in
a RMFBSAM record when there was still room in the output
buffer for one more.

46 Summary
====== CHANGES THRU 38.081 WERE IN MXG 38.04 DATED MAY 25, 2020 ========
Change 38.081 MXG 3803 only. The WEEKLY BLDSMPDB failed due to a typo
BLDSMPDB in line 667, which has 1 %end;
May 25, 2020 Remove that 1.
The error only occurs if BLDSMPDB is run on z/OA AND only
if WEEK points to a GDG.
Thanks to Jim S. Horne, Lowe's, USA.
Change 38.080 Support for z15 T02 8562 processor's (156 models) values
FORMATS in $MGRMIPS format, used in ASUMMIPS,GRAFCEC,GRAFWLM,
May 24, 2020 GRAFWRKX and VMACRMFV(RMFIII) to map the MIPS per MSU.
If you use those programs to report MIPS, you need 38.04.
Change 38.079 Support for APAR OA59541 for TYPE42 Subtype 27, adds new
FORMATS variables;
VMAC42 SMF42REOS='ERASE*ON*SCRATCH?'
May 28, 2020 SMF42RZRTY='ZHPF*CHANNEL*PROGRAM*FAILED?'
SMF42RCTCAH='TRANSPORT*COMMAND*AREA*HEADER*7FX'
SMF42RCTCAL='TCA*LENGTH'
SMF42RCFDCW='FIRST*DEVICE*COMMAND*WORD'
SMF42RCDSCB='DSCBS*WRITTEN'
SMF42RCLRAB='LOCATE*RECORD*AUXILARY*BYTE'
SMF42RCLRIC='LOCATE*RECORD*IMBEDDED*OP CODE'
SMF42RCLRC ='LOCATE*RECORD*COUNT'
SMF42RCLROP='LOCATE*RECORD*OPERATION'
SMF42RCLROPOR='ORIENTATION'
SMF42RCLROPOB='OPERATION*CODE'
SMF42RCLRAB0='TRANSFER*LENGTH*FACTOR?'
SMF42RCLRAB7='READ* COUNT*CCW?'
SMF42RCLRIC='LOCATE*RECORD*IMBEDDED*OP CODE'
Format $MG042VT was updated for new values, and new
MG042OR and MXG042OB are created.
Change 38.078 zVPS PLSDSPCN LABEL contained an unintended & character.
VMACXAM
May 22, 2020
Change 38.077 DB2 SMF 102 IFCID 143/144 fields QW0143UR/QW0144UR were
ANALDB2R increased to 10 bytes, 6 reserved bytes and new QW0143SI
VMAC102 and QW0144SI were inserted before QW014xUR in VMAC102,
May 22, 2020 and the format for QW0143UR/144UR in ANALDB2R updated.
Thanks to Terry Chao, DC Government, USA.
Change 38.076 Comments revised for the MIPFACTR which is now set from
GRAFWRKX the CPFCNAME using the $MGRMIPS format.
May 20, 2020
Change 38.075 DB2 APAR PH14037/UI65711 corrects the offset in DB2ACCTP
VMACDB2 records for QPACLOCN/QPACCOLN/QPACPKID/QPACASCH/QPACAANM
May 20, 2020 variables, which caused them to still be truncated. The
error was introduced by APAR PH05989/UI61107. There was
no change to MXG code, the IBM APAR corrected the offset.
Change 38.074 PDBAUDIT in BUILDPDB audits the daily PDB size metrics,
PDBAUDIT including the SAS compression percent PCOMPRESS, which
May 19, 2020 can be a negative value, whenever compressing a dataset
would have increased its size, and is reported by SAS:
"Compressing dataset PDB.STCVSM15 increased by 11.43 pct"
These datasets always have a small number of variables.
Thanks to Randy Hewitt, DXC Technology, USA.
Change 38.073 Significant cleanup of ANAL119 after a typo was found in
ANAL119 37.37 version (extraneous 3 preceding a RUN.) IPHOSTS DD
May 16, 2020 is no longer required but will be used if it is present
and all data steps are skipped if the input datasets are
not found.
Thanks to Tom Kelman, ATOS, USA.
Change 38.072 Type 30 Subtype 6 records have accumulated values but not
VMAC30 all INST counts were deaccumulated, CPUASRTM correction
May 15, 2020 was subtracted from raw rather than DIF'd values causing
a spurious warning message, and minimum SMF time .01 sec
was only a few hundred CPUUNITS which caused some small
negative values when CPUASRTM was non-zero.
The subtype 6 interval records are written instead of 2/3
for Early ASIDs, STCs that start before JES is up, like
ALLOCAS CAMASTER CONSOLE GRS JES2AUX PCAUTH RASP
SMSPDSE SMSPDSE1 TRACE
Thanks to Harald Seifert, Huk-Coberg, GERMANY.
====== CHANGES THRU 38.071 WERE IN MXG 38.03 DATED MAY 7, 2020 ========
Change 38.071 SAGANAL option SYNC59 was incorrectly flooring ENDTIME,
SAGANAL but now uses VMXGDUR to set the Interval Started. SYNC59
May 6, 2020 adds 1 minute and uses that hour, so with 15 min interval
data written at SYNC59, these are the hour intervals into
which the 15 min interval data is assigned.
Original 15:59 16:14 16:29 16:44 16:59 17:14
SYNC 0 hour 15 16 16 16 16 17
SYNC 59 hour 16 16 16 16 17 17
Using SYNC59 for SYNC59 data matches common sense.
Change 38.070 CICS Statistics 110-2 with SMFSTRQT='EOD' End of Day data
VMAC110 have invalid large values, with the same value repeated
May 2, 2020 for dozens of unique events in time sequence that would
normally be accumulated values with zero deltas when they
are deaccumulated, BUT EOD are NOT accumulated data. Each
obs is a separate event, and most values are wrong. In
addition, when EOD obs go thru MXG deaccum, obs are lost.
Intervals of 24 hours are not very useful for analysis.
EOD was accidentally set, and you can sum INT data to get
daily totals if that's what you need.
So, I can not make a business case that the EOD interval;
is needed, and with a circumvention, I'm not going to
pursue a PMR that would waste IBM and Customer time.
-When EOD records go thru Deacculation, many observations
are lost; I experimented with CICXML to bypass deaccum
for EOD, which did preserve observations, but I'm not.
going to implement that for other statistics datasets.
DO NOT USE EOD FOR SMFSTRQT STATISTICS REQUEST TYPE.
Change 38.069 XCOM input did not skip the 461 bytes added in 12.0.
VMACXCOM
May 1, 2020
Thanks to Peter J. Gray, DXC, AUSTRALIA.
Change 38.068 Support for Comm Server SMF 119 Subtype 11 ZERT revised
EXT119ZE to create new TYP119ZE dataset for each Zert instance,
IMAC119 which can have more than one obs per record, and remove
VMAC119 those variables from TYP11911 which has only one obs per
VMXGINIT SMF 119 subtype 11 record.
Apr 30, 2020 Updates to 73/74 for ICN1762 for IKET are not done, may
need data.
Change 38.067 Yet another TYPE42 invalid LENSR in Subtype 5 records has
VMAC42 revised the logic to compare the delta between offsets
Apr 30, 2020 with NRSR*LENSR, and if they do not, recalculate length
by dividing the delta by the NRSR, and if the CALCSRLEN
is an integer, use the new length for LENSR, or delete.
This was from old customer data and may not be a current
value, but this should finally eliminate exposures.
Thanks to John Compton, World Programming, ENGLAND
Change 38.066 Dataset ASUMCAPT was not labeled.
VMXGCAPT
Apr 24, 2020
Thanks to Randy Hewitt, DXC, USA.
Change 38.065 UTILROLL will rollup all observations in all datasets in
UTILROLL a data library into all datasets in another data library.
Apr 29, 2020 New examples added to combine PDBs created every four
hours into a daily PDB library, and to copy multiple days
back to WORK for reporting. Modified to use PROC SQL to
get the engine of the output libname on z/OS so it works
for tape or sequential PDBs. Also added FORCE to the
PROC APPEND to prevent warnings and added SORTEDBY and
ALLDATA datasets created by the macro to ROLLDROP.
Change 38.064 -After New Function APAR OA58759 of 3/26/2020 for RMF the
ASMRMFV ERB3RDEC decompression load module does not contain an
Apr 24, 2020 expected FMID. As a result ASMRMFV issues warning message
RMFV091W that the module is not from IBM. Processing
continues normally, but Return Code 0004 is set.
-ASMRMFV will now also check for an 'IBM' character string
in ERB3RDEC before issuing RMFV091W. The RMFV091W message
was also incorrectly formatted.
Change 38.063 Variables WKRSENCP/WKRSENCV/WKRIENCP/WKRIENCV caused
VMACCMFV INVALID DATA messages because they were INPUT as &RB.4.
Apr 24, 2020 (which worked fine when the fields were zeros) but they
are non-zero and are input with &PIB.4 informat.
Thanks to John Kim, TELUS, CANADA.
Change 38.062 -DB2STAT0 variable QW0225_WARN was incorrectly treated as
VMACDB2 bytes, and it is SERVICEABILITY.
Apr 22, 2020 -Support for APAR PI92652 that adds I/O Interrupt CPU time
variables QWSxIIPT variables in dataset DB2STAT4.
-Support for APAR PI82191 that adds 3 _DPAGE variables to
dataset DB2STAT4, which per the APAR text, are now also
subtracted to correct the three _REAL variables. The
APAR text listed a fourth PVTSTG_DPAGE field, but it
does NOT exist in the records with segment length 320.
Thanks to Scott Barry, SBBTechLLC, USA.
Change 38.061 Support for z/OS Connect EE SMF 123 Version 2 Records
EXTY1232 create new dataset:
IMAC123A DDDDDD DATASET Description
VMAC123A TY123A TYPE123A Z/OS CONNECT EE AUDIT V1
VMXGINIT TY1232 TYPE1232 z/OS CONNECT EE AUDIT V2
Apr 30, 2020 The new version 2 record creates new TYPE1232 dataset
Jul 15, 2020 because of many new variables.
-Member TYPE123A creates TYPE123A and TYPE1232 for EE.
-Member TYPE123 is archaic, for the S/390 Parallel Query
Server SPQS SMF 123 Record datasets DB2SPQS/DB2SPQAB.
-Jul 15 typo spelling SM123SORRCVD corrected.
Thanks to Adam Banbury, PNC, USA.
Thanks to Robert Carter, PNC, USA.
Thanks to Robert Richards, PNC, USA.
Change 38.060 CICSTRAN observations are written at task termination,
VMAC110 so long running transactions won't have observations,
Apr 9, 2020 but the CICS SET MONITOR command FREQUENCY argument will
create interval CICSTRAN observations, which can be
identified with RTYPE='F'. RTYPE formatted values:
'C'='C:TERMINAL CONVERSE'
'D'='D:USER EMP DELIVER REQUEST'
'F'='F:FREQUENCY REQUEST'
'M'='M:SEMI-PERMANENT MIRROR SUSPEND'
'S'='S:SYNCPOINT'
'T'='T:TASK TERMINATION'
Thanks to Rob Hollingum, HSBC, ENGLAND
Thanks to Renata Hoyland, HSBC, ENGLAND
Change 38.059 -zVPS XAMCUV records with LPARNAME='TOTAL' weren't output
EXXAMCUV because they duplicate the detail record's values. zVPS
FORMATS now sets LCUCPUID=96 for all total records, so the test
VMACXAM to NOT output in EXXAMCUV now tests to skip the 96's.
Apr 8, 2020 This test is located in the Data Set Exit member so that
you can always override my decision to not OUTPUT them.
-Variables LCUCPUID LCXCPTYP are added to the _BXAMCUV BY
list for dataset XAMCUV.
-XAMCUV records have LCXCPTYP=1 for CP/GP engine instead
of zero, so the MGXAMTY format now maps that value also.
Thanks to John Holiday, Queensland Government, AUSTRALIA.
Change 38.058 CIMS/IMF datasets CIMSDBD,CIMSDB2,CIMSMQ had zero obs
VMXGINIT in 37.37-38.02 because the three SELECTDBD/DB2/SELECTMQ
Apr 21, 2020 macro variables added for BUILDIMS were only %GLOBALed
in VMXGINIT where they should have been %LET to defaults.
The three statements have been added to VMXGINIT, but you
can insert these three statements in your //SYSIN for
your CIMS/IMF processing jobs and they will be populated.
%LET SELECTDBD=%STR(OUTPUT _WIMFDBD;) ;
%LET SELECTDB2=%STR(OUTPUT _WIMFDB2;) ;
%LET SELECTMQ =%STR(OUTPUT _WIMFMQ;) ;
Thanks to Andreas Menne, Finanz Informatik, GERMANY.
Change 38.057 Support for SYSVIEW Subtype 2 record creates new datasets
IMACSVIE PDB.SV02INT - Interval Data - One Obs per Minute.
VMACSVIE Merge of 263 datasets, 1440 Obs daily.
VMXGINIT PDB.SV02MQ - MQ Interval Data - One obs per MQ Subsys
Apr 20, 2020 Merge of 25 datasets, 2880 Obs daily.
PDB.SV02LP - LPAR Interval Data - one per ARGEIGHT,
individual LCPUADDR 0000-000B, and ALL
CP,IFA,IIP,SP, 24480 obs THIS LPAR.
PDB.SV02CP - CPUPLPAR for all LPARs, 47520 obs.
PDB.SV02WL - WLM Service/Reporting Class 250560 obs.
PDB.SV02PLOT - Control Variables, one obs/record.
Thanks to Nagaraj Pudokotia, ATOS, INDIA.
Thanks to Martyn Jones, CPTGLOBAL, ENGLAND.
Change 38.056 -If you tried to reset an option with VMXGOPTR to ORIGINAL
ANALHSM that hadn't previously been set using VMXGOPTR, the code
VMXGOPTR generated here was "OPTIONS 1;" which caused ERROR 13-12:
Apr 6, 2020 Unrecognized SAS option name 1, and execution terminated.
-Now: VMXGOPTR detects that that option had not been set,
stores the current value and does not execute OPTIONS.
-ANALHSM was the culprit that exposed the error and was
corrected.
Thanks to Jack Hyde, OPTUM, USA.
Change 38.055 Change 37.123 (MXG 37.04) incorrectly changed variable
VMAC7072 PCTMVSBY which impacted PLCPRDYQ and SHORTCPS in datasets
VMXGRMFI PDB.TYPE70 and PDB.RMFINTRV.
Apr 30, 2020
Thanks to Paul Naddeo, Fiserv, USA.
Thanks to David Bixler, Fiserv, USA
Thanks to Robin Hanley, Fiserv, USA
Thanks to Bernie Ethridge, Fiserv, USA.
Change 38.054 -ALL ASCII SITES SHOULD ENABLE %AUTOINST IN IMACINIT.
AUTOINST -Concurrent ASCII SAS sessions can error due to INSTREAM
IMACINIT file sharing. The same INSTREAM.SAS file is used on ASCII
May 3, 2020 for every session, so multiple concurrent sessions error
because of the unintended file sharing. The new &AUTOINST
%MACRO creates the temporary INSTREAM file in the session
WORK libname, which is not sharable with other sessions.
FILENAME INSTREAM CATALOG 'WORK.TEMP.INSTREAM.SOURCE';
a. Put the %AUTOINST; statement in the member IMACINIT
in your "USERID.SOURCLIB" tailoring library and the
unique file name will always be allocated.
b. Put the %AUTOINST; in AUTOEXEC, replacing the
INFILE INSTREAM statement.
c. Issue the %AUTOINST; in your SYSIN at start.
-ALL ASCII SITES SHOULD PUT %AUTOINST IN IMACINIT.
-z/OS sites can enable %AUTOINST in IMACINIT and then the
INSTREAM filename will always be created if it was not
already allocated.
Change 38.053 Typo, variable not found, QHSSSID should be QWHSSSID.
ANALDB2T
Mar 30, 2020
Thanks to Douglas C. Walter, CITIGROUP, USA.
Change 38.052 Spurious WARNING: MISSING %MEND Statement for VMXG344 is
BUILDPDB sometimes printed after prior error conditions; adding
BUILDPD3 the name of the %MACRO to the %MEND eliminates message.
BUILD001
BUIL3001
Mar 29, 2020
Change 38.051 Using the SAS FTP Access Method, &MXGABND=1 is now set so
VMACSMF that errors (e.g. the SMF file is in use) that can cause
Mar 27, 2020 the SAS Session to hang doing nothing, instead will now
terminate with USER ABEND 69.
If the session still hangs, and you have access to the
directory where the SAS log is being written by that
active session, you should be able to get read access to
the active session's log to see if there are messages
before you kill the session.
Thanks to Richard Way, Office Depot, USA.
Thanks to Amlan Mitra, Office Depot, USA.
Change 38.050 Variable QBSTPCO in dataset DB2STATB was always a
VMACDB2 missing value after DB2 Version 9 due to MXG logic
Mar 24, 2020 error for its INPUT.
Thanks to Flavio Lima, US.IBM.COM, USA.
Change 38.049 -New parameter ROLLWEEKS=5 added to let you keep more
BLDSMPDB weeks than the 5 needed to build a month. NOTE: this
Mar 24, 2020 only applies on zOS or ASCII with STATIC libnames.
With GDGs on zOS or AUTOALOC on ASCII ROLLWEEK is
disabled.
-So if you want to keep 6 weeks of rolling weekly
data specify rollweeks=6. If the WEEK6 LIBNAME is
not found an error message is generated.
Thanks to Richard Haynes, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Kansas, USA.
====== CHANGES THRU 38.048 WERE IN MXG 38.02 DATED Mar 23, 2020 ========
Change 38.048 Support for z15 INCOMPATIBLE z/VM MONWRITE 6.4.19.1 due
VMACVMXA to insertion of new EXTND256-EXTND287 counters in dataset
Mar 20, 2020 VXPRCMFC and new variables CORCTLMT CORTLSEQ in VXPRCMFM.
Many ERROR. PRCMFC HARDWARE COUNTER UNEXPECTED messages,
and datasets VXPRCMFC/VXPRCMFM have no observations, but
all the other z/VM MONWRITE datasets are not impacted
Thanks to David Campbell, SunTrust, USA.
Change 38.047 Variables R7023DID/R7024DID, Domain ID, are added to the
VMAC7072 end of the BY List for datasets TYPE7002 and TYPE70X, and
Mar 18, 2020 R7023DID is kept in TYPE7002.
Thanks to Stephen Hoar, Lloyds, ENGLAND.
Change 38.046 Data Set Labels were revised:
VMACDB2 DB2PST: DB2 STATS GLOBAL BUFF POOL
Mar 17, 2020 DB2PAT: DB2 GLOBAL BUFF POOL ATTRIBS
Change 38.045 MXG sets option REUSE=NO to prevent a User change to YES
VMXGINIT in this just-discovered obscure option, that controls how
Mar 17, 2020 free-space is used when new observations are added to an
existing compressed SAS dataset, i.e., whether new obs
are inserted in free space or added at the end, but with
REUSE=YES, and COMPRESS=YES, the POINT= dataset option
ABENDs because it cannot open compressed SAS datasets.
MXG uses POINT= and sets COMPRESS=YES default value.
PROC APPEND disregards REUSE=YES, adding new obs at the
end of the dataset. REUSE is an attribute of the dataset
and cannot be changed for that dataset.
Thanks to Richard Haynes, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Kansas, USA.
Change 38.044 VSAM Extended Addressability datasets values for sizes
VMAC60 VVRDSHA VVRDSHU VVRHARBA VVRHURBA must be multiplied by
Mar 15, 2020 VVRAMCIV, the CISIZE. New variable VVREXTAD='Y' if this
is an Extended Addressability dataset (not to be confused
with Extended Format datasets).
Thanks to Michael Friske, FMR, USA.
Change 38.043 Documentation only. Example 10 show ways to select or
READDB2 exclude data by QWHSSSID SubSystem ID.
Mar 14, 2020
Change 38.042 Your USER SMF record type descriptions are in IMACSMFF in
IMACSMFF your tailoring, which adds them to $MGSMFID when FORMATS
Mar 13, 2020 is run, but the MXG syntax - an eight-character VALUE,
with a leading blank if TYPE is LT 1000 - was not stated.
A seven-character value without blank caused no error,
but those types had no description in ANALID reports.
Thanks to Jeff Harder, Indiana Farm Bureau Insurance, USA.
Change 38.041 Support for APAR OA57105, adds to TYPE62/64
VMAC62 Dataset TYPE62 New Variables
VMAC64 SMF62JOBID ='JOB*ID'
Mar 12, 2020 SMF62SYSPLEX='SYSPLEX'
Variable SMF62DEF removed, did not exist and caused
variables SMF62DET and SMF62DKL to be missing/blank.
Dataset TYPE64 New Variables
SMF64JOBID ='JOB*ID'
SMF64SYSPLEX='SYSPLEX'
Change 38.040 OMEGAMON TEMS Subtype 35 INVALID ARGUMENT THREE because
VMAC112 the text length was increased from MXG's original guess
Mar 14, 2020 of 256 with a length of 261, so the lengths are now 512.
Thanks to Jim Czechanski, Northwestern Mutual, USA.
Change 38.039 Support for new variables INREI and JCLJJ in TYPETPMX.
VMACTPMX
Mar 5, 2020
Thanks to Scott Barry, SBBTechLLC, USA.
Change 38.038 Dataset TYPE73 variable SHIFT was not populated; the code
VMAC73 for IMACSHFT was only in the code blocks for TYPE73P/L.

Thanks to Martyn Jones, CPTGLOBAL, ENGLAND.
Change 38.036 -TYPEBETA variables L030SRCJCSY/JCUS, S055IPSERVI were
VMACBETA incorrectly spelled in the KEEP= list and are now kept
VMACBE97 as L030SRCJCSYS/L030SRCRCUSR/S055IPSEVI.
Mar 1, 2020 -TYPEBE97 variables B9759STY_1HEX B9759STY_2HEX were also

Change 38.034 APAR OA59002 corrects invalid values in SMF89UZT in the
TECHNOTE TYPE89 dataset.
Feb 27, 2020
Thanks to Nick Varley, SYNCSORT, USA.
Change 38.033 -SMF Signature Type 2 Subtype 1 and 2 can print MANY log
VMACSMF "BACK2BACK HEADER" messages, if you have changed the
Feb 28, 2020 IFASMFDL program default option SIGSTRIP to NOSIGSTRIP.
IFASMFDL is the "SMFDUMP" program for SMF LogStreams, and
that SIGSTRIP default is to "Strip", i.e. NOT WRITE the
SMF Type 2 Subtype 1/2 records to the Output SMF file.
-The MXG _SMF Record Processing logic that writes those
Header/Trailer/First/Last diagnostics messages was not
updated when the VMAC0203 was updated in 2017, and these
new type 2 records caused spurious log messages. Datasets
TYPE0201/TYPE0202/TYPE0203 were correct as the messages
have no impact on output datasets. You can use
==> TO SUPPRESS PRINTING OF ALL SMF DIAGNOSTIC MESSAGES, USE:
==> //SYSIN DD *
==> %LET SMFPUTHD=NO;
or you can restore your IFASMFDL JOB to SIGSTRIP default,
or you can use VMACSMF with Change 38.033+ (MXG 38.02).
-If you are back-level at MXG 36.04, then you will also
also need the DODSCRDT/READRATE/VMXGINIT members.
Macro variable SMFPUTHD was added in MXG 31.31.
-This _SMF header code is ALWAYS USED WHEN MXG READS SMF,
so you will see those diagnostic messages, when TYPE 2,
subtype 1 or 2 records are present, in the SMF file,
even if you didn't request Type 02 record processing.
Change 35.266 notes "Even After OA?????, SYSTEM='DUMY'
Type 02 14 byte records were still found." and they
still are; the first SMF Header Message with NOSIGSTRIP
has "DUMY' and not the actual system, but the "FIRST"
message that follows will have the actual SYSTEM name.
(The APAR number in that APAR change is lost.)
-There were fifty ID=2 ST 1/2 messages per minute, or
about 288,000 SYSOUT print lines per day, which could
could cause a 722 SYSTEM ABEND.
How did I miss this in 2017 when subtype support was
added? The original customer could not ftp SMF data, so
LIST; was used to print a hex dump of each subtype,
which UTILBHEX converted to readable records, so there
were (only) two back to back (expected) ID=2 records.
You must be at MXG 37.06 or later to use this VMACSMF.
Thanks to Douglas C. Walter, CITIGROUP, USA.
Change 38.032 Many missing values in WSFAUDIT dataset from TYPEWSF are
VMACWSF valid as the record only contains nulls starting in byte
Feb 26, 2020 153. Vendor is to be contacted.
Change 38.031 Support for APAR OA56683 adds SMFBOOST variables (System
FORMATS Recovery Boost) to dataset TYPE70:
VMAC7072 BOOSTACTIVE='BOOST*ACTIVE*FULL*INTERVAL'
Feb 20, 2020 BOOSTINFO ='BOOST*INFO*PARTIAL*INTERVAL'
BOOSTCLASS ='BOOST*CLASS'
and FORMAT MG070SB decodes BOOSTACTIVE and BOOSTINFO as
ZIP or SPEED or BOTH. CLASS is either IPL or SHUTdown.
Thanks to Martin Packer, IBM, EUROPE!
Change 38.030 The example user tailoring for multiple TMS catalogs in
ADOCTMS5 ADOCTMS5 (that you EDIT into your IHDRTMS5) ABEND 992 if
Feb 20. 2020 the CRDDD days value was greater than 366; now an error
message and hex dump of the first 5 eliminates the ABEND.
Change 38.029 z/VM MONWRITE dataset VXAPLSLM (Z/VM LINUX MEMORY)
VMACVMXA variable SHARERAM is zero if Linux is not RHEL8.
Feb 14. 2020
Change 38.028 -FDF (Field Data Filter) support added for the RMF Monitor
ADOCRMFV III ZFXG3 (zFS Performance Data Table). General ASMRMFV
ASMRMFV support for this table already existed.
VMACRMFV -Sysout output lines from ASMRMFV assembly reduced.
Feb 21, 2020 ** IMPORTANT **
Feb 28, 2020 -National character (@#$) pattern filter is now the '^'
caret character NOT the '.' period character. There was
a conflict when an RMF III table field contained a
DSNAME. The caret character may not print with some
SYSOUT character sets.
-This documentation section in member ADOCRMFV is added
for new FDF support:
44 Filtering The ZFXG3 Table
Remaining existing section numbers are incremented by 1.
-FDF GOVAT macro call for ZFXG3 table was incomplete.
Table selection would not occur when needed if ZFXG3 was
not explicitly selected when using FDF.
-VMACRMFV did not populate variable ENCCFL2 in ZRBENC.
====== CHANGES THRU 38.027 WERE IN MXG 38.01 DATED Feb 17, 2020 ========
Change 38.027 -TYPE42D3 and TYPE42D4 datasets had the below variables
VMAC42 incorrectly INPUT as SMF42Gxx instead of SMFA2Gxx so they
Feb 13, 2020 were not kept nor labeled.
Dataset TYPE42D3
SMFA2GUA SMFA2GUB SMFA2GUD SMFA2GUE SMFA2GUF SMFA2GUG
SMFA2GSH SMFA2GSI SMFA2GSJ SMFA2GSK
Dataset TYPE42D3
SMFA2GVA SMFA2GVB SMFA2GVD SMFA2GVE SMFA2GVF SMFA2GVG
SMFA2GTH SMFA2GTI SMFA2GTJ SMFA2GTK
Some SMF42Gxx and SMFA2Gxx variable's label incorrectly
had "*DASD" which was removed.
Thanks to Michael Friske, FMR, USA.
Change 38.026 -New variables STC28CTP and STC28FLG are now INPUT and
VMACSTC kept in dataset STCVSM28, variables STC19CTP and STC28CTP
Feb 13, 2020 are formatted $MGSTCCT to display Cartridge Type.
Thanks to Randy Hewitt, DXC, USA.
Change 38.025 Support for CICSTRAN Optional CPICAOR/CPICAOR user field
IMACICXC that populates USERCHAR.
UTILEXCL
Feb 12, 2020
Change 38.024 -Support for zVM VXPRCAPM dataset Crypto Types 11,12,13
VMACVMXA CEX5S/CEX6S/CEX7S, which printed "UNDECODED CRYPTO TYPE".
Feb 10, 2020 -Variable IODSSCH in VXIODDEV dataset is incorrect for
intervals with more than 65K I/Os, short by 65K counts,
but RDEVSKCT captures all I/Os, so MXG now sets variable
IODSSCH=RDEVSKCT for those intervals.
Thanks to Graham Harris, RBS, ENGLAND.
Change 38.023 RMF ZFX variables ZFX_IO_WAIT_TIME, ZFX_LOCK_WAIT_TIME
VMACRMFV and ZFX_MONITORED_SLEEP_TIME in dataset ZRBZFX can be
Feb 10, 2020 negative values because the ZfS interface bases average
response times on requests since last statistics reset,
which can be very long. zFS development is aware of their
design flaw but have not yet responded with a correction.
Change 38.022 Label for EXTEND164 was changed for the z14 and z15 to:
VMAC113 EXTND164='DIRWRIT*TO L1-I*ON CHIP*L3 INTVNT'
Feb 10, 2020
Thanks to George A. Frey, PNC, USA.
Change 38.021 PROC TIMEPLOT example to show concurrent job executions
ANALJOBS and SGPLOTS of ANALCNCR statistics for all jobs or for
Feb 9, 2020 selected jobs.

Feb 6, 2020 dataset T102S389, COMPATIBLE, using a reserved field.
Thanks to Harald Seifert, Huk-Coburg, GERMANY.
Change 38.018 SAS levels prior to TS1M6 for ODS PDF should avoid use
TECHNOTE of CONTENTS on the ODS statement. There are several
Feb 5, 2020 errors that can be caused and any graphs may overlay
the contents. For details see:
http://support.sas.com/kb/20/666.html
Change 38.017 -TYPE80A INPUT EXCEEDED ERROR due to a HOME segment that
VMAC80A had no data following, now protected.
Feb 11, 2020 -Support for TYPE80TK fields TOKMARCHIDE,TOKMSISEMAIL,
TOKMARCSISID TOKMIRRDAUTO.
-SMF 80 SHORT EXTENDED RELOCATE FOUND messages were caused
when a field input with $VARYINGnn LEN was increased with
the actual data length LEN that is greater than the nn.
-The TYPE80TOK segments with TOKSUBSY='CSDATA' are "user"
or "customer" fields added by vendors or installations.
One CSDATA record where TOKDANAM=SISLAST was the last in
the record was truncated, with length 16 with only 14
bytes followed. Other SISxxxx segments were the last in
the record and were not truncated. An MXGNOTES is printed
when truncation is detected and protected.
Thanks to Joe Faska, DTCC, USA.
Change 38.016A ANAL95TH uses PROC TABULATE to create 95th percentile,
ANAL95TH mean and max response and resource statistics, with
Feb 5, 2020 two examples of CICSTRAN.CICSTRAN by TRANNAME, one
across all executions and one by TRANNAME for 15 min
intervals, and one for PDB.JOBS by JOBCLASS for hour
intervals, but the syntax can be used for any data.
Thanks to Robert Barth Cross, IBM, USA.
Change 38.016 SGPLOTS referenced &PDBMXG..NATADAPCT which did not
ANALNATR exist. Changed to PDBOUT.NATADAPCT.
Feb 5, 2020
Thanks to Mark Hiltbruner, State of South Dakota, USA.
CHANGE 38.015 See Change 38.061.
CHANGE 38.014A ASCII Execution ERROR: Template 'Styles.MXGxxxx' was
TECHNOTE unable to write to template store when attempting to
Jan 29, 2020 update the FORMAT directory, because a separate SAS
Windows session was using the LIBRARY catalog.
CHANGE 38.014 Support for IMS APAR PH14569(v14) and PH21001 (V15)
VMACIMS which populates the USERID field in IMS 22 log record.
Jan 29, 2020

-Datasets BETA0, BETA1, BETA55, BETA59 also have new
variables; they are listed in DOCVER38.
Thanks to Andreas Menne, Finanz Informatik, GERMANY.
CHANGE 38.012 The MXG member DOCVER documents all variables in all MXG
DOCVLONG datasets, originally one line per variable, but the long
Jan 25, 2020 variable names and MXG's 72-character z/OS limit caused
two lines to be needed. The DOCVLONG program creates the
"DOCVLONG.TXT" file with one line per variable with new
LRECL=94 to contain all the information. This change
corrected an ERROR if the variable name ended in NUM and
was 13 characters long.
ON Z/OS:
// EXEC MXGSASV9
//INDOCVER DD DSN='MXG.SOURCLIB(DOCVER),DISP=SHR
//DOCVLONG DD DSN='MXG.DOCVLONG,TXT,DISP=(,CATLG),
// DD RECFM=FB LRECL=94 BLKSIZE=34500.
// DD SPACE=(CYL,(40,4))
//SYSIN DD *
%INCLUDE SOURCLIB(DOCVLONG);
ON ASCII:
FILENAME INDOCVER 'D:\MXG\SOURCLIB\DOCVER.SAS';
FILENAME DOCVLONG 'D:\MXG\USERID\DOCVLONG.TXT';
%INCLUDE SOURCLIB(DOCVLONG);
CHANGE 38.011 Support for APAR OA57718 that adds new zHyperlink write
VMAC42 statistics to TYPE42DS dataset.
Jan 23, 2020
Change 38.010 If you changed the default SMFAUDIT=YES option to NO,
ANALID to suppress the SMF Audit Report (BUILDPDB,ANALID),
Jan 24, 2020 inside ANALID, the VMXGOPTR utility could fail
MXGNOTE: END OF ANALID
NOTE: Line generated by the macro variable "OPTORG4".
Change 37.245's setting options with VMXGOPTR in ANALID
were mis-located inside SMFAUDIT=YES block in MXG 37.08,
now relocated in MXG 38.01.
Thanks to John Milne, IBM, AUSTRALIA
Change 38.009 If you specified GRAPHS=YES and your system is old and
ANALSIIS not have the option SYSODSGRAPHICS or you are on z/OS
READRATE where it is 0 until an ODS GRAPHICS command is issued,
Jan 24, 2020 the code defaulted to using PROC PLOT where XAXIS is not
supported. ANALSIIS and READRATE were both modified to
use the version executing to choose SGPLOT vs PLOT, and
XAXIS was removed from the PROC PLOT.
Thanks to Mike Martin, North Carolina NCSECU, USA.
CHANGE 38.008 Change 37.149 was in error if first USERADD= was IDMS.
UTILBLDP
Jan 22, 2020
Thanks to Scott Barry, SBBTechLLC, USA.
Change 38.007 The BY LIST for PROC MEANS DATA=_LVMAINT inside INTVBLD
VMACVMXA is changed to BY CECSER SYSTEM, removing BEGINMTR, which
Jan 21, 2020 caused tens of thousands of useless statistics.
Thanks to Scott Barry, SBBTechLLC, USA.
Change 38.006 Support for IAM 9.3 Spin 3 INCOMPATIBLE due to relocation
VMACIAM and insertion of fields; many new variables in TYPEIAM.
Feb 5, 2020
Thanks to Mike Jacques, BBandT, USA.
Change 38.005 "Expressing Latent Demand as a Single Number" report code
ANALATNC starts by graphing a latency number for all systems by
Feb 5, 2020 interval on a single graph and drills down to individual
systems from there, displaying SMF70U00-15 variables in a
stacked bar graph with the latency number and MVS Busy
for each systems as lines on top of the bar. Latency is a
number based on bucket sizes of the SMF70U: (or SMF70Q:
for older OSes), designed to compress all the buckets to
a single number and allow multiple systems on a single
graph. While interesting, it takes interpretation to make
sense of it, especially since it is logarithmic. I think
IBM may have done this deliberately because the SMF70Q:
variables worked out to exactly 9 using the obvious max
bucket value. I fudged the max bucket value when I went
to SMF70U: variables to make it come out to 10. The main
purpose though is to allow the drill down from a common
start to the system details.
Jim's full paper, and report examples are found at:
https://www.mxg.com/downloads/Latent_Demand
Thanks to Jim S. Horne, Lowe's, USA.
Change 38.004 MXG 37.37 ERROR: INVALID VALUE FOR OPTION ENCODING is

Change 38.003A FORMAT $MG074OM for dataset TYPE74HO variable R744HOPM
FORMATS has new value '50'x='50x:CL5 10 GBIT/S CEE ROCE'
Jan 15, 2020
Thanks to Scott Barry, SBBTechLLC, USA.
Change 38.003 IDMSTAS dataset now contains UOW and NETNAME variables:
VMACIDMS TASCUOWI='CICS*UOW*ID'
Jan 24, 2020 TASCUOWS='CICS*UOW*SEQ'
TASCNETN='CICS*NETWORK*UOW*ID'
-Variables TASUFLD1-TASUFLD3 are now correctly input for
CICS records (IDM6623 corrected IDM6618).
Thanks to Scott Barry, SBBTechLLC, USA.
Thanks to Paola Rosero, Centre de services partages du Quebec, CANADA
Change 38.002 Variable BYTEPRC='PCT OF*BYTES*WRITTEN' is added to both
VMACTMS5 TMS.TMS and variable BESKEY='TAPE*ENCRYPTION*KEY*INDEX
Feb 7, 2020 is added to TMS.DSNBRECD.
Thanks to Umamaheswara Reddy, JPMCHASE, USA.
Change 38.001 BUILDIMS now works correctly with all selection options.

FORMATS -Variable LTERM in CIMSTRAN dataset from IMF records can
VMACCIMS contain '00'x, which are now translated to blanks.
VMACIMS -New variable INPUTCLNR in dataset CIMSTRAN and LASTCLNR
VMXGINIT in dataset CIMSPROG are created with the decimal class
Jan 20, 2020 number. INPUTCL2 and LASTCLA2 have the HEX values.
====== CHANGES THRU 37.275 WERE IN MXG 38.01 DATED Jan 20, 2020 ========
Change 37.275 SYNCSORT SMF WRKDVTYP and STWKSDEV device type variables
FORMATS values were changed some time in the way past 3350 era,
Jan 9, 2020 but MXG Format MGSYNDV was not updated until now.
Thanks to Randy Hewitt, DXC. USA.
Change 37.274 TYPE1415 Harmless NOTE: DUPLICATE BY VARIABLES, because
VMAC1415 OPENTIME was repeated in _BTY1415 was supposedly fixed
Jan 7, 2020 but wasn't until 38.01.
Thanks to Douglas C. Walter, CITIGROUP, USA.
Change 37.273 Using TYPE26J2 incorrectly to read JES 3 records caused
VMAC26J2 INPUT STATEMENT EXCEEDED. Change 37.026 had added logic
Jan 7, 2020 to delete those JES3 records when using TYPE26J2/BUILDPDB
but tested for SUBS=3, when SUBS=5 is the JES3 SUBSYS.
LASTCHANGE: Version 38.

Please read CHANGESS for the complete list of major enhancements.
See member NEWSLTRS or the Newsletters frame at http://www.mxg.com for
current MXG Technical Notes.
All of these enhancements are described in the Change Log, below.
II. SAS Version requirement information:
SAS Versions
The current version nomenclature is SAS 9.4 TS1M6 (9.4M6), "M6",
or "SAS 9.4 (9.04.01M6P110718)" if the OPTION VERSIONLONG is
enabled.
Only on z/OS, SAS 9.4 "M5" requires MXG 35.36+ because it adds the
NOERRORSTOP option to protect all MXG PROC SQLs from the M5 defect
described in SAS Note 61672. But SAS apparently does not plan for
a defect correction since the MXG Circumvention solves for MXG and
the text of 61672 simply describes the circumvention needed because
MXG's use of OPTIONS OBS=0 without NOERRORSTOP exposed the defect.
See Change 35.309 for more details on using NOERRORSTOP for your
own PROC SQLs.
SAS V9.4 M6 is RECOMMENDED, but MXG executes without error
using SAS Version 9.4 M0-M2 or M4-M6 or SAS Version 9.3 M0-M2.
SAS V9.4 M5 is REQUIRED with z/OS 2.3 with Eight-Byte USERIDs
for Interactive TSO (DMS) SAS Sessions. SAS Note 61339.
SAS V9.4 M3 is NOT RECOMMENDED. See Change 36.128 SAS Note 61906
that reports 40% Increase in CPU time with M3.
SAS V9.4 (ALL) and SAS V9.3 (ALL) are at LEVEL A SAS Support.
SAS V9.3 SAS 9.3 TS1M2 was RECOMMENDED. SAS 9.3 TS1M1 works ok.
But SAS 9.3 at TS1M0, the HOT FIX for SAS Note SN-43828,
see CHANGE 29.169, IS REQUIRED:
The %MACRO compiler error is in processing %LET
statements. While only two MXG members failed
repeatedly in MXG QA tests on z/OS, there were random
%LET errors in ASCII QA tests, so ANY use of %LET
statement on ANY platform are vulnerable to this
error, as the %MACRO compiler is SAS portable code,
used on all platforms. So this is NOT just an MXG
error, but impacts ALL SAS programs.
SAS9.3 is LEVEL A support from SAS.
SAS V9.2 Was recommended, prior to 9.3, and was error-free with
MXG 26.03 SAS Hot Fix for SAS Note 37166 is required to
use a VIEW with the MXG EXITCICS/CICSFIUE CICS/DB2
Decompression Infile Exit. but SAS V9.2 does execute on
that platform.
9.2 is LEVEL B Support from SAS, as of Sep 30, 2013.
SAS V9.1.3 on z/OS 1.10 requires SAS Hot Fix for SN-35332 and is at
Support level C by SAS Institute, Sep 30, 2013.
SAS V9.1.3 is NOT supported by SAS on Windows SEVEN.
SAS V8.2 SUPPORT LEVEL C BY SAS INSTITUTE; NOT ALL OF MXG WORKS!
with SAS 8.2.
SAS 8.2 is Level C Support from SAS as of Dec 31, 2011.
JCL in MXGSAS94 or MXGSAS93 can be used, or MXGNAMES can be used
***************************************************************
As documented in Change 27.356, for SAS V9.2 or later):
The standard SAS JCL Procedure can be used for MXG with SAS V9.2+
// EXEC SAS,CONFIG='MXG.SOURCLIB(CONFIMXG)'
//MXGNAMES DD DSN=MXG.USERID.SOURCLIB(MXGNAMES),DISP=SHR
But CONFIMXG is required for sites with NLS issues, and you must
use JCLCONFI to create/update the MXG.FORMATS catalog if you use
CONFIG='MXG.SOURCLIB(CONFIMXG)'.
For no NLS, you can use the MXGSAS94 JCL Procedure example.
***************************************************************
MXG 26.03 thru MXG 36.11 will execute under the previously listed
SAS Versions on all supported platforms
Unrelated to the above SAS Note/Hot Fix, ODS users will want to
use MXG 29.06+, because SAS V9.3 did expose incompatibilities in
MXG code for ODS reporting, that were fixed in MXG Version 29.06.
See Changes 29.159 and 29.169.
And, only for z/OS 1.10 with SAS V9.1.3 with ANY version of MXG,
the SAS Hot Fix for SN-35332 is REQUIRED (to be completely safe).
Without this Hot Fix, "LIBREF XXXXXXXX IS NOT ASSIGNED" errors
can occur even though //XXXXXXXX DD is a valid SAS Data Library.
This error ONLY occurs with z/OS 1.10 and SAS V9.1.3; it does
NOT occur with SAS V9.2, nor with z/OS 1.9. It can be
circumvented by adding a LIBNAME statement that specifies the
ENGINE name. See the Technical Note in Newsletters for SN-35332.
Note that SAS V9.1.3 is now at "Level B" Support from SAS.
Old MXG code may continue to execute with SAS V8.2, but V8 is now
"Level C" support from SAS Institute, and there are known errors
in V8.2 that are only fixed in SAS V9. I no longer QA with V8.2;
While many MXG programs (accidentally) will still execute under
V8.2, I cannot guarantee that all of MXG executes error free.
PLEASE INSTALL V9.2/V9.3/V9.4, TO AVOID FIXED PROBLEMS!
If you are absolutely stuck on V8, you need to copy MXG member
V8GETOBS into USERID.SOURCLIB and rename to VGETOBS.
MXG Software has not executed under SAS V6 in many years.
The "PDB" libraries (i.e., SAS data libraries) must be created by
SAS V8 or later, but any of those data libraries can be read or
updated by the SAS Versions that MXG Supports, above.
For SAS Version V9.3:
SAS 93 TS1M1 is RECOMMENDED; for TS1M0, SAS Hot Fix in SAS Note
SN43828 is REQUIRED. See text of Change 29.159.
With SAS 93 TS1M1, (or TS1M0 with that Hot Fix) MXG Versions
26.03 or later execute under SAS V9.3 on all platforms.
SAS Data Libraries created by SAS V8.2, V9.1.3, V9.2, V9.3 and
SAS V9.4 are interchangeable and can be read/written by any of
those versions, provided they are on the same platform.
BUT: on ASCII, the 32-bit and 64-bit SAS versions are NOT the
same "platform" and attempting to read/use the FORMAT catalog
created on one of those "platforms" on the other "platform"
will error out to remind you of that difference!
SAS V9.4 did change some V9.3 ODS processing defaults and syntax
that might cause errors with MXG 29.05 or earlier; MXG 29.06,
Change 29.160 documents the major revisions made in MXG to fully
support ODS, and MXG 29.06 is STRONGLY recommended for ODS with
SAS V9.3 or SAS V9.4.
For (Archaic) SAS Version V9.2 (TS1M0):
Big Picture: SAS Version V9.2 is COMPATIBLE with MXG Software.
On z/OS, SAS changed the DSNAMES for some of the SAS libraries,
so you do need to use the new MXGSAS92 JCL Procedure for MXG,
but it still uses the CONFIGV9 configuration file.
****************************************************************
However, NEW, and documented in Change 27.356, with SAS V9.2+:
The standard SAS JCL Procedure can be used for MXG:
// EXEC SAS,CONFIG='MXG.SOURCLIB(CONFIMXG)'
//MXGNAMES DD DSN=MXG.USERID.SOURCLIB(MXGNAMES),DISP=SHR
instead of using the MXGSAS92 JCL Procedure example.
****************************************************************
SAS Data Libraries are compatible for V8.2, V9.1.3, V9.2, V9.3,
and V9.4. "PDBs" can be read/written interchangeably between
these SAS versions.
MXG Versions 26.03+ do execute with SAS V9.2 with NO WARNINGS
and with NO ERRORS reported.
Pre-MXG 26.03, SAS Hot Fix F9BA07 was required to suppress a
new SAS V9.2 WARNING, that on z/OS, set CC=4 (condition/return
code). That warning is harmless (to MXG code) and all MXG
created SAS datasets were correct, even with that warning.
The ONLY exposure was ONLY on z/OS, and ONLY if condition code
tests are used in your MXG jobstreams.
SAS Version 9.2 requires z/OS 1.7 or later, both officially as
documented by SAS Institute, and actually as V9.2 fails with 0C4
under z/OS 1.4.
For SAS V9.1.3 on z/OS with Service Pack 4:
On z/OS 1.10, Hot Fix SN-35332 is REQUIRED.
CONFIGV9 now specifies V9SEQ instead of V6SEQ. As V6SEQ does
not support long length character variables, it can't be used.
SAS V9.1.3 with current Service Pack 4 is STRONGLY RECOMMENDED.
For (back-level!) SAS V9.1 or V9.1.2 on z/OS:
SN-013514 is REQUIRED to be able to read datasets that were
created by V6SEQ (tape) engine.
SN-012437 is REQUIRED to prevent creation of corrupt/unreadable
datasets with tape engines V7SEQ, V8SEQ, or V9SEQ.
Both fixes ARE included in SAS V9.1.3, but V9.1 or 9.1.2 is NOT
SAFE without those two hot fixes, and if you do NOT have those
two fixes on 9.1 or 9.1.2, you MUST set V6SEQ in CONFIGV9.
With MXG 23.02 or later, V9SEQ is the default sequential engine
specified in CONFIGV9, but if you are back at SAS V9.1 or V9.1.2
you MUST install the two hot fixes listed above.
For SAS Version 8.2, HotFix Bundle 82BX08 (or later) was required
as an absolute minimum level when that SAS Version was last
supported by MXG Software. PLEASE INSTALL SAS V9.x ASAP.
Sequential Engine Status:
V9SEQ was fixed in V9.1.3; it has been default in CONFIGV9.
V8SEQ was always safe under SAS V8.2, but it wasted CPU time
by always compressing when writing in tape format.
V6SEQ, if used under V9.1.2, requires SN-013514, but V6SEQ
should no longer be used, as it does not support long
length variables.
GENERAL STATEMENT FOR MXG QA TESTS AND SAS VERSIONS:
MXG QA tests are executed with V9.4, on z/OS, on Windows TEN and
Linux on 64-bit hardware, but MXG users execute MXG on MANY
(ALL??) SAS platforms, including AIX, Linux, and other 'nix'
variants, on many different hardware platforms, and since they all
work we don't need to list them. If SAS executes so does MXG.
Prior QA tests have been run with all SAS releases available at
that time on Linux RH8 on Intel, on Solaris v2.8 on a Model V880,
and on HP-UX v11.11 model rp5470, confirming full compatibility.
MXG should execute under ALL SUPPORTED SAS VERSIONS on EVERY SAS
platform without errors! Each new MXG version is also tested with
the SAS ITSV/ITRM product by the ITRM developers.
III. WPS Version requirement information:
WPS Version 3.02 (03.02.03.00.016221) is required Change 34.266.
and other errors with 3.00 or 3.01 have been corrected in the
current WPS version.
WPS Version 3.01.1 maintenance level 731 required for PDB to tape
WPS Version 3.01 (also shows 3.1.1) is required for AUTOEZOS.
WPS Version 3.01 is required for MOBILWRK, PICTURE fails in 2.5.
WPS Version 3.01 executed MXG 32.03 BUILDPDB with no errors.
WPS Version 3.0 requires MXG 31.09 (see Change 31.251).
WPS Version 2.4 required MXG 27.09 (see Change 27.239).
WPS Version 2.3.5 required MXG 27.05.
See NEWSLETTERS for WPS Support Statement.
WPS prints this message ERROR: COULD NOT CREATE DATA SET "PDB.ID"
when the LIBNAME PDB does not exist; there would also have been a
prior log message NOTE: Library PDB does not exist as the clue.
IV. MXG Version Required for Hardware, Operating System Release, etc.
MXG is usually NOT sensitive to z/OS Hardware changes, but:
The z15 did INCOMPATIBLY change the SMF 113 records by adding 32
new EXTEND and 4 CRYPTO counters, and those fields were supported
in MXG 37.07 dated Oct 22, 2019. The z/14 also INCOMPATIBLY changed
the SMF 113 record, and that was supported way back in MXG 36.07.
The z/13 with 61+ LPARs requires MXG 32.05 IF NON-SMT MODE.
The z/EC12 with 85+ engines required MXG 30.07.
Support for 255 engines was added in MXG 31.04.
MXG 37.07 supports the new z/OS 2.4 SMF manual fields, COMPATIBLY.
The z13 processor INCOMPATIBLY CHANGED, the new SMT-MODE RMF 70, and
MXG 34.03 was REQUIRED (PCTCPUBY WRONG!), to read the SMT-format RMF
(which are written if you have zIIP engines AND have enabled the new
PROCVIEW CORE option for Multi-Threading, even if only one thread is
enabled).
The new zEDC compression hardware requires MXG 33.07 to support the
new metrics.
For z/VM, MXG REQUIRES MXG 33.02 to support the z/13 changes.

Note: Asterisk by the version number means the Version number
was changed (to the MXG version required), after an earlier
MXG version was listed as supporting this product release,
usually because an APAR modified the product's data records.
Or a coding error in MXG could be the reason for the change!

V. Incompatibilities and Installation of MXG 37.37.
1. Incompatibilities introduced in MXG 37.37:
a- Changes in MXG architecture made between 37.37 and prior versions
that can introduce known incompatibilities.
2. Installation and re-installation procedures are described in detail
in member INSTALL (which also lists common Error/Warning messages a
new user might encounter), and sample JCL is in member JCLINSTT for
SAS Version 9.
MXG Definitions with regard to MXG Software Changes:
COMPATIBLE A change in a data record which did not alter either
COMPAT the location or the format of all of the previously-
kept MXG variables is COMPATIBLE, and you can continue
to run the old version of MXG software, which will read
the new records without error, but none of any new data
fields or any new record subtypes will be created/kept
until you install the MXG Version with this change.
INCOMPAT A change in a data record that causes the current MXG
version to fail, visibly or invisibly, with or without
error conditions or messages, and the output datasets
may contain wrong values and incomplete observations,
and/or observations may have been lost.
You MUST install the new MXG Version with this change
to process data records that have been INCOMPATIBLY
changed by their vendor.
TOLERATE In other words, the old MXG Version TOLERATES the new
data records, if they are COMPATIBLY changed.
EXPLOIT Once you use the new MXG Version to read the changed
records, all of the new fields, subtypes, etc, that are
described in this change will be created in the MXG
datasets, so the new MXG Version EXPLOITS the new data,
and you have full support of the new data records.
An MXG Version never "expires" nor "goes out of Support". When
you put in a new product/subsystem/Release/APAR that incompatibly
changed its records then you must install the current MXG Version
or at least be using the minimum level of MXG that is currently
documented in the preceding list in section IV.
COSMETIC Some Changes will start with COSMETIC. This indicates
that that change only alters a displayed value or may
be a spelling error in a label, but it is "cosmetic"
in that it ONLY affected the display, and the output
data sets created are NOT impacted by this change.
VI. Online Documentation of MXG Software.
MXG Documentation is now described in member DOCUMENT.
See also member INDEX, but it may be overwhelming.
VII. Changes Log
--------------------------Changes Log---------------------------------
You MUST read each Change description to determine if a Change will
impact your site. All changes have been made in this MXG Library.
Member CHANGES always identifies the actual version and release of
MXG Software that is contained in that library.
The CHANGES selection on our homepage at http://www.MXG.com
is always the most current information on MXG Software status,
and is frequently updated.
Important changes are also posted to the MXG-L ListServer, which is
also described by a selection on the homepage. Please subscribe.
The actual code implementation of some changes in MXG SOURCLIB may be
different than described in the change text (which might have printed
only the critical part of the correction that need be made by users).
Scan each source member named in any impacting change for any comments
at the beginning of the member for additional documentation, since the
documentation of new datasets, variables, validation status, and notes,
are often found in comments in the source members.

====== CHANGES THRU 37.272 WERE IN MXG 37.37 DATED Jan 6, 2020 ========
Change 37.272 If you did not specify EXCELDEST you could get WARNINGs:
ANALMSUS Argument 2 to macro function %SUBSTR is out of range
Jan 5, 2020 Argument 3 to macro function %SUBSTR is out of range
Change 37.271 %BUILDIMS can create all current MXG IMSLOG datasets and
BUILDIMS REPORT=YES (default) prints counts of bytes/records for
FORMATS each LSUBCODE; REPORT=ONLY will produce only the report.
VMACCIMS Not all IMS Log Records create MXG datasets; many records
VMACIMS are for database recovery with no performance metrics,
VMXGINIT but support will be added upon request and test data.

Thanks to Randy Hewitt, DXC. USA.
Change 37.270 A TECHNOTE documenting how to recover from MXG ABENDS.
ADOCABND
Jan 1, 2020
Change 37.269 TYPE71 variables SMF71PIS/SMF71POS, 4K TO/FROM SCM are
VMAC71 accumulated fields, so they are correct only when TYPS71
Dec 23, 2019 (or BUILDPDB) is used, since the deaccumulation is done
in the _STY71 Data Set Sort Macro, and will always be
missing values in the first obs from each SYSTEM.
Thanks to Graham Harris, RBS, ENGLAND.
====== CHANGES THRU 37.268 WERE IN MXG 37.09 DATED Dec 20, 2019 ========
Change 37.268 Variable SM116EVT in MQMACCTQ and MQMQUEUE datasets was
VMAC116 not set for Task Terminated; test for '21'x was wrong and
Dec 20,2019 changed to four byte test for '200800000'x for Terminate
and '00080000'x for Initiate.
Thanks to Scott Barry, SBBWORKS, INC, USA.
====== CHANGES THRU 37.267 IN EARLY ADOPTER MXG 37.09 DATED Dec 20, 2019
Change 37.267 z/OS: ENCODING=EBCDIC1047 corrupts data; OPEN_ED-1047 is
CONFIMXG and has been REQUIRED for MXG, and is the z/OS Default.
VMXGINIT With ENCODING=EBCDIC1047 character variables with '15'x
Dec 12, 2019 byte value are changed to '25'x, and byte values of '25'x
are changed to '15'x! Those are the New Line & Line Feed
characters that swap. You can display your options with:
PROC OPTIONS OPTION=ENCODING;
PROC OPTIONS OPTION=LOCALE;
PROC OPTIONS OPTION=NLSCOMPATMODE;
-You can add an ENCODING=OPEN_ED-1047 statement in your
CONFIGV9/CONFIMXG/CONFIGxx tailoring member, or you can
set with // EXEC SAS94,OPTIONS='ENCODING=OPEN_ED-1047'
-Not only can character bit tests and formatted values be
wrong, some numeric TODSTAMP datetime fields are created
from character variables when shorter than 8-bytes, using
DATETIME=INPUT(CHAR6!!'0000'x),TODSTAMP8.);
Changing the second byte from '15'x to '25'x is 30 days.
-VMXGINIT is enhanced to print error message if ENCODING
option is not OPEN_ED-1047.
-And, OPEN_ED-1047 does work with NONLSCOMPATMODE, And SAS
in 2016 without documenting it, said they were NOT going
to remove NLSCOMPATMODE nor NONLSCOMPATMODE options.
-If you depend on NLS characters, the CONFIMXG option was
created by SAS to support NLS sites, see that member.
Thanks to Andrew Gadsby, SAS UK, ENGLAND.
Thanks to Andy Knight, SAS UK, ENGLAND.
Thanks to Stephen Hoar, Lloyds, ENGLAND.
Thanks to Mark Tomlinson, Lloyds, ENGLAND
Change 37.266 Parameters DATETIME= and INTERVAL= were not specified in
TRNDDB2P VMXGSUM invocation, causing little or no summarization.
TRNDDB2R
Dec 11, 2019
Thanks to Marybeth Delphia, CPA.TEXAS.GOV, USA.
Change 37.265 If you did not specify PDBOUT the correct dataset(s)
ANALMSUS names were not generated.
Dec 11, 2019 -The use of substitution macros in IMACKEEP made ANALMSUS
fail if you tried to run it twice in a single SAS
session. Those affected macros are now nulled out.
-OPTIONS NOBYLINE was set but there were no BY values
in the TITLE statements - there are now.
-MXG 37.09 ONLY. ERROR KEYWORD PARM OPTNME NOT DEFINED,
now correctly spelled as OPTNAME.
-Eliminated a WARNING about SUBSTR out of range when
EXCELDEST was NULL.
Thanks to Jan Tielemans, KBC, BELGIUM
Change 37.264 SMF 99 Subtype 2 TYPE99_2 dataset did not input the many
VMAC99 variables that had been added in z/OS 2.3.
Dec 15, 2019
Thanks to Betty Wong, Bank of America, USA.
Change 37.263 READDB2 didn't create the T102SSSS and T102S000 datasets
READDB2 when a numeric IFCID was in the IFCIDS= parameter. Now,
Dec 10, 2019 it does unless T102SSS/T102000 are set to NO.
Logic to parse strings for each dataset was simplified
and relocated to a separate macro to simplify ongoing
maintenance.
Change 37.262 Replaced by Change 37.271.
BUILDIMS
Jan 1, 2020
Change 37.261 TYPE42 INPUT STATEMENT EXCEEDED subtype 6 due to a short
VMAC42 S42DSSNL=72 segment when SMF manual had 80, probably due
Dec 7, 2019 one of the APARs in Change 37.250.
-Subtype 5, LENSR=208 records were deleted (Change 37.260)
with log message, but now they are output and the extra
48 bytes are skipped.
Thanks to Richard Haynes, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Kansas, USA.
Change 37.260 IDMS dataset IDMSTAS fields were misaligned because the
VMACIDMS new variable TASBJBID was inserted in the record.
Dec 6, 2019
Thanks to Paola Rosero, Government of Quebec, CANADA
Change 37.259 IMS SYNCPOINT Log Records IMS5937 and IMS5938 only kept a
VMACIMS small number of variables, now all fields in the record
Dec 16, 2019 are kept.
Thanks to Randy Hewitt, DXC. USA.
Change 37.258 Earlier releases of the %SCAN function of the %MACRO
READDB2 COMPILER returned the input string if there was only
Dec 1, 2019 a single string for the delimiter that was used, which
required extra MXG logic to correct, and which could fail
if AAAA was used, with no BBBB, and there was a CCCC but
no space between the two slashes, causing CCCC to be seen
as the BBBB argument, raising a WORD2 macro error. Now,
SAS returns the string correctly so the excess MXG logic
could be removed along with this (rare) exposure.
-If all you requested with WANTONLY was DB2ACCT DB2ACCTW
was also produced.
Thanks to Ervin Claxon, CSX, USA.
Change 37.257 This member will work but is obsolete and has been
TRNDRMFN replaced by TRNDRMFI. The biggest difference is in the
Nov 29, 2019 input dataset. This member uses PDB.RMFINTRV which would
only get a single days PDB as input while the TRNDRMFI
member uses WEEK.RMFINTRV which would be all of the days
of the week.
Thanks to Wayne Bell, UNIGROUP, USA.
====== CHANGES THRU 37.256 WERE IN MXG 37.08 DATED Nov 26, 2019 ========
Change 37.256 ROSCOE new dataset PDB.ROSCOMON contains an observation
DIFFROSC for each of these MONITOR values:
Nov 19, 2019 ALL AMS ATT CON CPL DIS DSF ETS HEX IMP
JCL LIB LOO OTH OUT PUR SOR UTI VTO ZAP
and variable MONITOR contains the monitor acronym.
The Monitors AUD AWS RPS SHU STA VPE are not included,
as they have always had a separate ROSCOxxx dataset.
Thanks to Linda S. Berkley, DISA, USA.
Change 37.255 -FDF support added for the RMF Monitor III PCIG3 (PCIE
ADOCRMFV Activity Data Table) and SCMG3 (Storage Class Memory Data
ASMRMFV Table). General ASMRMFV support for these tables already
Nov 19, 2019 existed.
-Improved ASMRMFV FDF handling of 16 byte binary
Fields using Extended Floating Point arithmetic.
-Minor corrections made to ASI, CPD, GEI, OPD, SPG, and
SSHG3 FDF Variable Name Tables.
-Main storage reduction made for FDF Alias and True
Name entries in Variable Name Tables.
-FDF now uses only 1 pattern table for all character
Fieldnames instead of a pattern table for every character
Fieldname when a user character pattern compare occurs.
-Message RMFV088I now shows XFP (Extended Floating Point)
tag for 16 byte quadword fields during FDF processing.
-Floating point fields were not always scaled by FDF
when required prior to comparisons to a user value.
-When the maximum 32K LRECL output length to RMFBSAM would
be exceeded in PROCCPU, PROCCFI, and PROCRCD subroutines
the entire RMF III table will now be skipped. This should
be a very rare event.
-Section 12 Messages updated in ADOCRMFV.
-These documentation sections in member ADOCRMFV are
added for new FDF support:
40 Filtering The PCIG3 Table
41 Filtering The SCMG3 Table
Remaining existing section numbers are incremented by 2.
Change 37.254 -MXG 37.05-37.07. When CPC parameter was specified,
ASMRMFV Message RMFV057I PARMS KEYWORD VALUE IS NULL printed
Nov 16, 2019 and neither CPCDB nor CPUG3 tables were selected.
-PCIG3 table support was not checking the z/OS release.
Only z/OS 2.3 and higher releases are supported.
Inputting a PCI table from a lower release results in an
MXG build failure. PCIG3 tables from older releases will
now be ignored. Applies to MXG Releases 37.03 and up.

Change 37.252 During QA testing we found that 250 members changed a
VMXGOPTR SAS system option but did not return that option to its
MANY original value, which could impact subsequent programs
Nov 18, 2019 in that SAS job step or SAS Session. Previously, with
NEWVALUE=ORIGINAL, VMXGOPTR reset the option to its
value PRIOR to the LAST VMXGOPTR invocation, but now
it is restored to the original value of the SAS Session
or batch STEP, and all 250 members now have pairs of
VMXGOPTR to change and to then reset options to their
ORIGINAL value.
Example of use of VMXGOPTR with this change with the
original option DSNFERR having value DSNFERR:
%VMXGOPTR(OPTNAME=DSNFERR,NEWVALUE=NODSNFERR);
this code executes with NODSNFERR
%VMXGOPTR(OPTNAME=DSNFERR,NEWVALUE=NODSNFERR);
this code executes with NODSNFERR
%VMXGOPTR(OPTNAME=DSNFERR,NEWVALUE=ORIGINAL);
subsequent code executes with DSNFERR.
With the original VMXGOPTR, the subsequent code was
executed with NODSNFERR, which was wrong.
-The report members also set TITLE and FOOTNOTEs to null
to prevent carry-forward for following program reports.
Change 37.251 New DB2STATS variables DELTAAV0/AVA/ACB are negative when
VMACDB2 storage contraction starts, and the value is the number
Nov 7, 2019 of pages needed. Values for Available, DBM1 and DIST are
created. IBM reports, with this ZPARM (xxxxxxxx) "AUTO",
contraction will begin when paging is detected and DB2
will try to bring a system to a point where paging is
minimal or non-existent. DB2 will enter a full
contraction mode if 100% of REALSTORAGE_MAX is hit, when
message DSNS0003I is issued, and the discard will start,
if PM99575 is applied. DB2STATS variable QSST_RSMAX_WARN
counts the number of times the REALSTORAGE_MAX Warning
was reached in each interval.

Change 37.250 SMF 42 Subtype 5 APAR OA52133 causes ABEND with LENSR=208
VMAC42 in SMF42SRL and a 208 byte segment, APAR OA54663 corrects
Nov 7, 2019 setting SMF42SRL=160 with only a 160 byte segment. New
length was introduced by the usermod ++APAR for OA52133,
when it was still in development, and before OA54663.
-Below Change Text was insufficient to protect for 208,
and logic was completely revised in Change 37.261, 37.09.
To protect for future invalid lengths to avoid ABENDs,
MXG logic first tests for a delta of 160 bytes between
Storage Class Name fields and uses LENSR=160 if true,
or the SMF42SRL value is tested for a valid delta, and
uses that value if true. Otherwise, the record is
skipped with an MXGNOTE on the log.

Change 37.249A The FTP ACCESS method executing on z/OS to read z/OS data
CHCK4FTP fails because the expected JFCB/DSCB tokens do not exist
Nov 22, 2019 with the SAS FTP Access method.
-Most MXG use of the FTP ACCESS method executes on ASCII
to read z/OS SMF data, which does not have this exposure.
-There are two ways to use z/OS to z/OS ftp:
Using SMF as an example DDNAME/INFILE name:
FILENAME SMF FTP "'MYSMFDATA'" HOST='IP ADDRESS'
USER='USERNAME' PASS='PASSWORD' S370VBS LRECL=32760
RCMD='SITE RDW';
%LET MXGJFCB=;
%LET MXGDSCB=;
%INCLUDE SOURCLIB(BUILDPDB);
or
FILENAME SMF FTP "'MYSMFDATA'" HOST='IP ADDRESS'
USER='USERNAME' PASS='PASSWORD' S370VBS LRECL=32760
RCMD='SITE RDW';
%CHCK4FTP(DDNAME=SMF);
%INCLUDE SOURCLIB(BUILDPDB);
-The %CHCK4FTP(DDNAME=yourdd); in example two validates
that that DDNAME is allocated and then detects the engine
type, and for FTP, MXGJFCB and MXGDSCB macro variables
are blanked to prevent the JFCB/DSCB error.
Thanks to Mike Martin, NC State Employee's Credit Union, USA.
Change 37.249 %DSCRDT now defaults to a null value and is enabled by
DODSCRDT using %INCLUDE SOURCLIB(DODSCRDT); in your //SYSIN.

Change 37.233 CICS variable ABCODE created by UTILEXCL was the concat
UTILEXCL of ABCODE113!!ABCODE114, but using INPUT ABCODE $EBCDIC8.
Oct 8, 2019 eliminated the need for that statement, which caused
ERROR: The name ABCOD113§§ABCOD114 is not a valid SAS name
when UTILEXCL was run on Linux. A track with SAS will be
opened to resolve that error, because double exclamation
points are used 6900 times in MXG for concatenation, but
this code matches the VMAC110 code and should have been
there some time ago, just for consistency, but now for
circumvention.
Change 37.232 -If CICS Dynamic Transaction Routing, DTR is used, the
VMAC110 CICSTRAN has PROGRAM='########' which historically was
VMXGINIT ONLY used when there was an invalid transaction name
Oct 9, 2019 typed in by the user, which caused many fields to be
missing values, so MXG instead output the transaction
to the CICSBAD dataset. But now, if you enable DTR,
the observation count in CICSTRAN may drop dramatically
by the number of obs output in CICSBAD. There does not
appear to be a flag that identifies DTR was used.
You will need to set
%LET MXGCICSDTR=YES;
to cause MXG to output ALL transactions with '########'
values to CICSTRAN instead of to CICSBAD.
-The original test for CICSBAD also tested TRANFLAG for
a bit that indicated invalid times in the record, but
IBM removed that bit, so that bit test was removed.
-Changes 23.312 and 24.155 document PROGRAM='########';

Thanks to Bradley Leis, TELUS, CANADA.
Change 37.224 If you correctly added VMXGALOC to your IMACINIT so that
VMXGALOC you would always have the current PDBs allocated to each
BLDSMPDB SAS/MXG session and changed the number of PDBs (daily,
Oct 1, 2019 weekly, monthly, etc.) in BLDSMPDB you could possibly
wipe out old directories unintentionally. VMXGALOC now
detects that it has already run and unless the new
INVOKEBY= parameter is set to bldsmpdb sets the READONLY
parameter to YES to prevent deletion of old directories.
VMXGALOC in IMACINIT should always specify READONLY=YES
so this is only insurance that will produce and MXGWARN
message and set condition code 8.
Change 37.223 DB2 IFCID 376 variable QW0376SINR (statement count) was
VMAC102 not kept in 8 bytes, causing small differences in the
Sep 30, 2019 MXG value (222986880) vs IBM (222986962) = 82 smaller.
With stored length of 8 bytes, the values match.

Change 37.221 Reserved Change.
Change 37.220 If you specified SYNC59=NO (the default) the intervals
VMXGDUR always landed (for example with INTERVAL=QTRHOUR) on the
Sep 26, 2019 quarter at 0 15 30 45 minutes. If you wanted to keep the
actual intervals you would have needed to subtract 1
minute. VMXGDUR will now do that for you with the new
USE59 parameter. YES will subtract 60 seconds from the
calculated value and get the QTRHOUR back to 59 14 29 44
minutes. You can implement this globally be inserting in
IMACINIT: %LET SYNCTO59=YES;
The purpose of SYNC59 was always to put the start of
intervals on the hour since that usually makes more sense
on management reports and graphs. But if you choose to
use this on interval data without modifying the FLORCEIL
parameter to CEIL and you use SYNC59=NO you will be
getting the STARTIME of the prior interval rather than
the current interval since 12:59 with the FLORCEIL=FLOOR
set resolves to 12:45:
FLOOR('12:59't/900)*900;
Examples using default of SYNC59=NO

Change 37.216 SMF Type 2 Subtypes 1 and 2 fields SMF2GSIG and SMF1ISIG
TYPE0203 were documented as 512 bytes long, but IBM updated their
Sep 26, 2019 doc that they are variable length fields, so the INPUT
is revised to use the SMF2GSIGLEN and SMF2ISIGLEN fields
to input the variable length data.
Change 37.215 Updates for FOCUS USER SMF record changes version 7.7.
ADOCFOCU -VMACFOCU was changed to accommodate a change by IBI in
FORMATS their SMF records somewhere around version 7.7 of
VMACFOCU WebFOCUS (vendor support wasn't clear about when the
Sep 25, 2019 change happened).
Nov 14, 2019 -User ID fields were changed from 8 to 20 bytes and a
'security provider' value was prepended to each user ID
with a '\' as separator. These changes caused other
fields in the SMF record to be in different columns than
they were previously. Fields were also added for zIIP
time and zIIP-on-CP time.
-There is no version field in the SMF record, so this code
uses the record subtype and the length of the record to
determine which record format to use. There are four
subtypes - 1,2,4, and 5, which are Logon, Logoff, Begin
Query, and End Query, respectively. Old format records
are shorter than new format records, so the code checks
to see if a record is shorter than the new format, and if
it is, uses the old format. Older format records will
have missing or blank values for old variables that no
longer exist in the new records.
-Each user ID variable (Logon User ID, Security User ID,
Pooled User ID) now has a corresponding security provider
variable. The provider will be blank if an older format
record was used.
-zIIP time and zIIP-on-CP time variables are normalized,
according to the vendor. We are not sure of the accuracy
of these fields, and would not count on them for serious
reporting.
-Members ADOCFOCU and VMACFOCU were changed to reflect
these changes. Some labels were changed to reflect that
these records are produced by the vendor's WebFOCUS
product in addition to the FOCUS MSO (Multi-System
Option). In addition two new values are added in the
new MGFOCTY format to reflect subtypes 4 (Begin Query)
and 5 (End Query).

documentation member. There is a data dictionary listing
all the GEIG3 field names supported by FDF.
-Support for new release z/OS 2.4 RMF III fields added to
existing FDF Variable Name Tables.
*** Enhancements ***
-FDF support expanded for up to 256 byte character fields
raised from 8 bytes. But FDF IF expressions for
character field filtering may still not exceed the actual
size of the field or an error is flagged.
-Pattern matching subroutine MATCH now supports up to 256
characters in a pattern.
-FDF now translates X'00' to blank X'40' for selected
character field source data fields similar to what the
VMACRMFV SAS member does during a PDB build.
-Messages RMFV080I and RMFV088I now support character
string displays up to 105 characters. Longer character
strings are either output as a separate message or a '+'
flag is shown in the last byte of the message to indicate
the message has been truncated.
-Messages RMFV080I and RMFV088I now show tags of 'SFP' for
short floating point fields or 'LFP' for long floating
point fields instead of only showing 'FP'.
-Messages RMFV080I and RMFV088I now show the full IF
expression used if space allows.
-The SHOWBYTE subroutine now supports formatting of
storage byte values in kibibytes (kilobytes) 1024 through
yobibytes (yottabytes) 1024**8 in message RMFV088I.
However, current implementation restrictions at this time
limit values to a maximum of 9,223,372,036,854,775,807 or
about 1.22 pebibytes (petabytes).
-These documentation sections in member ADOCRMFV are all
updated for new support, enhancements, z/OS 2.4 and
corrections:

*** Corrections ***
-All of these possible corrections apply to ASMRMFV in
MXG Versions 37.03-37.06.
-The last character of the 3 character day name in message
RMFV041I was truncated.
-Hex characters used in IF expressions for character
fields were not handled correctly.
-FDF IF expression numeric values with both a fraction and
exponent were not correctly scaled in subroutine IFNUM.
-Possible S0C7 Abend with large IF expression numeric
value and a Scale Multiplier in FDF IFNUM subroutine.
-Possible S0C7 Abend in FDF IFNUM subroutine processing
short or long floating point values.
-Possible Abend S0C4 in FDF SETIF subroutine because VNT
extension length was not added to base VNT entry length
to determine when IF entry array expansion was required.
-Incorrect formatting for a fixed binary number with a
fraction in FDF RMFV088I message.
-Incorrect digit shifting for fixed binary numbers in FDF
IF expression coded with a fractional part.
-Abend S0C4 in FDF SETIF subroutine when NOSHOWARR option
(default) was in effect and an IF array expansion
occurred.
-Possible S0C4 Abend in FDF SETIF subroutine when the
fieldname in an FDF IF expression was an alias.
-Incorrect formatting of some fractional numbers by
SHOWDEC subroutine in RMFV088I messages.
-Message RMFV088I after a FDF floating point precision
loss is detected incorrectly showed the original user IF
expression value instead of the true floating point value
actually in effect for comparisons.
-FDF subroutine IFNUM did not shift out any fractions from
the original user value in the IF expression to create an
integer when determining whether a floating point
precision loss had occurred.
-Possible incorrect byte display in FDF RMFV088I message
from SHOWBYTE subroutine for large values.
-Possible S0C1 Abend if a Fieldname entry in a FDF
Variable Name Table incorrectly has an alias equal to
itself.
*** FDF Limits ***
These are the current FDF supported limits for Change
37.204 as FDF IF expression values.
In no case may the IF expression value exceed the size of
the RMF III source field whether numeric or character.

Change 37.200 Optional CICSTRAN DBCTL segment variable STATCTM1 was
IMACICDB 10 times too large (4 usec should be 0.4 usec) due to
Sep 9, 2019 incorrect STCK informat, corrected to TU4.
Thanks to Scott Barry, SBBWorks, INC., USA.
Change 37.199 -Variables QWACPCTT/QLACRLNU are used to get the correct
VMACDB2 count of THREADS when ROLLUPS (DB2PARTY=R) are in use:
ASUMDB2A DB2ACCT variable QWACPCTT is summed into THREADS in
ASUMDB2B ASUMDB2A unless QLACRLNU is GT 0 and used instead.
ASUMDB2G DB2ACCTP variable QPACRLNU is summed into PACKCNT in
ASUMDB2P ASUMDB2P
ASUMDB2R DB2ACCTB variable QWACPCTT is summed into THREADS in
Sep 7, 2019 ASUMDB2B unless QLACRLNU is GT 0 and used instead.
Sep 16, 2019 DB2ACCTG variable QLACPCTT is summed into THREADS in
ASUMDB2G unless QLACRLNU is GT 0 and used instead.
DB2ACCTR variable QLACRLNU is summed into THREADS
-Previously THREADS in DB2ACCT and COUNT in DB2ACCTP
counted each record; so counts will be larger and
correct in the ASUMs and in ANALDB2R which uses them,
unless the count is one, which does happen.
-This change means that the average values reported in
ANALDB2R will be more accurate but it still precludes
detail problem analysis from rolled up records since
the best you can get is an average value.
Variable QWACPCTT is now kept in DB2ACCTB/DB2ACCTG/
DB2ACCTR so it can be used in those ASUMs.
Change 37.198 BETA 93 Subtypes 12,17,30,31,55 were not input because
VMACBETA they weren't added to the IF SUBTYPE IN list of subtypes,
Sep 11, 2019 and they were not sorted to the PDB data library.

Change 37.189 Spurious INVALID VALUE FOR INPUT FUNCTION in first 37.06
DODSCRDT had no impact, except for lots of lines on the log. It
Aug 30, 2019 occurs when the INFILE is on TAPE, because the DSCB that
SAS returns is the VOL2HDR instead of the date-containing
DSCB, so the CREATEDATE variable is always missing for
INFILE on Tape.

ASMRMFV subroutine when comparing current RMF Version to a z/OS
Aug 9, 2019 2.3 Version number, after Change 37.140.
Aug 20, 2019 -That PROCSSH code was redundant with similar code in the
FINDPOL subroutine that is RMF Version independent and
has been removed to eliminate the S0C4 possibility.
-MXG 37.03-37.05, ONLY if you use FDF IF expressions.
ABEND S0C7 when a hex value is coded for a numeric field
in an FDF IF expression. For example: IF=(ASIDP EQ X'FF')
-Incorrect handling of exponents when coded for a numeric
field in an FDF IF expression causing an incorrect
compare value to be calculated.
For example: IF=(ASI1MBFF GT 1E2)

Change 37.158 BLDSMPDB adds SPIN: SPUN: to WEEKDROP MNTHDROP if they
BLDSMPDB are not present. New parameters added WEEKBASE MNTHBASE
Jul 15, 2019 that both default to blanks which will then become
yesterday and used to determine which datasets will be
included in the weekly and monthly PDBs. This ensures
that your most current PDB is used to build the
weekly/monthly datasets. So if you decided to add
something on the day before it will be propagated into
the weekly/monthly jobs. The fact that it may not exist
in all of the input PDBs is not a problem. These should
only be used if you wish to force a specific PDB to be
the basis for the weekly/monthly PDBs and if it does not
exist via either a LIBNAME or a DD the job will fail.

Change 37.153 SMF 120 Subtype 3 INPUT STATEMENT EXCEEDED ERROR due to
VMAC120 incorrect MXG logic that has accidentally worked: there
Jul 6, 2019 were only three ABENDS since Dec 2018. One circumvention
which usually skips over the failing record was tried:
OPTIONS STOPOVER MISSOVER % but because the code error
was a loop on the same INPUT location, MXG created 500
million observations in TYP120SR filling fifteen WORK
volumes before dying with a B37 no more extents error.
The alternative circumvention was to skip that subtype:
%LET MACFILE=%QUOTE(IF ID=120 AND SUBTYPE=3;);
until this update corrected the MXG code error.
I think not related, but site had WebSphere 8.5.5 FP12.

but there may be other maintenance involved.
You can examine your SMF 72 Subtype 3 period data with
PROC FREQ DATA=PDB.TYPE72GO;
TABLES SYSTEM*PERIOD;
TITLE TABLE OF PERIOD VALUES IN SMF 72 SUBTYPE 3;
to see if you are missing values for your periods.
These missing periods will cause the system Capture
Ratio to decrease significantly, and the workload that
normally have period data will have reduced CPU time in
TYPE72GO and RMFINTRV datasets, and reports from them.
Change 37.143 Expanded Storage doesn't exist in all z/OS systems so the

Change 37.140 -More RMF Monitor III tables are supported by FDF (Field
ADOCRMFV Data Filter) in ASMRMFV: DSI, SPG, SSH
ASMRMFV -New CDF (Character Data Filters) added for RMF III VSAM
Jun 26, 2019 data set level filtering:
CPCNAME= (aliases CPC=, CECNAME=, CEC=)
LPARNAME= (alias LPAR=)
-LPAR names and CPC names are validated for correct syntax
when these filters are used.
-FDF now supports character patterns for character fields.
Only Equal (= EQ) and Not Equal (^= =^ NE NEQ NOT NOTEQ
NOT=) operators may be used in an IF expression with a
character pattern. A pattern either matches or it does
not. Other FDF operators are flagged as an error.
-New DSIAND/DSIOR parameters which have the same function
as the prior SYSAND/SYSOR parameters which are now
respective aliases.
-RMFV014I message now shows counts for RMF III data sets
bypassed by CPCNAME= and/or LPARNAME= CDF keywords.
-Duplicate counts are no longer shown in RMFV014I message
if DUPDSN option is in effect (no duplicate checking).
-Space analysis messages RMFV030I, RMFV031I are no longer
issued for filtered RMF III VSAM data sets.
-MAXDSNS= added as a further alias of MAXDSNAMES=.
-Always force upper case for these CDF keyword values
because lower case letters are always invalid and
would be flagged as an error otherwise:
CPCNAME= SYSPLEX= LPARNAME= SYSTEM=
ASISUBSYS= ASIJOBCLASS= ASIJOBNAME= ASIJESID=
CSRJOBNAME= CSRJESID= DVTDEVNUM=
OPDJOBNAME= OPDPROCNAME= OPDUSERNAME=
-Support validation for all characters allowed for CDF
Workload Names, Service Classes, Report Classes, and
Resource Groups
-Field descriptions in data dictionary entries in ADOCRMFV
for FDF supported RMF III table expanded for better
clarity.
-TRUENAME Fieldnames in FDF data dictionary entries in
ADOCRMFV documentation now show all possible aliases.
-GMT offset value in Summary First Sample Begin Date/Time
selected message RMFV013I could be incorrect.
-RMFV013I selection messages were incorrectly displayed in
Summary report when all RMF III data sets were filtered.
-CDF keywords and aliases may now be used as Fieldnames
in FDF IF expressions (minus the = suffix).
-Message RMFV014I now includes a counter for FDF filters.
-Negative values are now supported in FDF, but only for
GMT offset fields xxxSTDIF and xxxGMTOFF where xxx is a 3
character RMF table id.
-For example this is a valid IF expression:
IF=(ASISTDIF EQ -5H)
-New second RMFV103I message is added to Detail and
Summary reports to display Sample Set filter reason
counts.
-New options AUTOSEL (alias AUTO) and NOAUTOSEL (alias
NOAUTO) added.
-AUTOSEL is the default and will result in the RMF III
table being automatically selected with any CDF or FDF
filter if the table was not already selected. This is a
convenience feature.
-New message RMFV082I appears when a table is auto
selected. In addition in message RMFV105I Y* will
appear in the SELECT column for auto selected tables.
-NOAUTOSEL provides the prior ASMRMFV behavior and the
unselected table condition generates an error. However,
it may be helpful if JCL with CDF and/or FDF filters is
routinely reused to avoid the PDB build overhead of
automatically selecting a table that is no longer wanted.
-For tables not referenced by CDF and/or FDF it is still
necessary to select the RMF III tables of interest.
-The SPGVOLSER= CDF filter could have incorrect results.
-Following documentation sections in ADOCRMFV are added or
updated:

Change 37.138 The label for variable QW0199TRS in DB2 102 IFCID 199 was
VMAC102 corrected to 'END TIME*OF*INTERVAL', which is strange as
Jun 24, 2019 the SMFTIME was available for the end time.

Change 37.137 -Variables INDXUSEP and POLYUSEP percentages are created
VMACRMFV in dataset ZRBDISH to track index usage. The 1110 is the
Jun 21, 2019 maximum number of sample indexes in a 32K DSI table and
50 is the maximum number of policy indexes.
-Strange RMF III intervals can be created if the values
in SMFPRMxx don't match ERBRMFxx options. A site had
SMF INTVAL(10) SYNCVAL(59) with RMF MINTIME(300) SYNC(0)
for RMF III, which created a 4 minute interval (:55 -:59)
when the RMF III MINTIME expired, a one minute (:59-:00)
interval when the SMF Interval Expired, and a five minute
(:00-:05) when the RMF Interval Expired.
Change 37.136 ANALMSUS is a powerful set of reports of SOFTWARE MSUs
ANALMSUS from ASUMCELP, SMFINTRV, TYPE72GO, TYPE89 records, that

Change 37.135 Type 42 Subtype 5 Invalid LENSR values were individually
VMAC42 detected and LENSR=160 set, but now there are a total of
Jun 21, 2019 22 different values for records, because IBM populates
Jun 24, 2019 the total length and not the 160 first segment length.
But with 22 tests, I'm now forcing LENSR=160 always, as
that will ONLY fail if IBM actually changes that first
segment size in the future, you won't be ABENDing on
each new LENSR value. These are the known invalids:
IF LENSR IN (232,240,320,376,400,480,448,304,520,560,592,
720,640,1040,1120,1200,960,1360,1280,1440,880,800)
THEN LENSR=160;
Thanks to Robert Obee, Ensono, USA.
Change 37.134 CHART option changed to NONE because DSIG option is no
ANALACTM longer supported after SAS 9.3. The four coefficients
Jun 15, 2019 (CPU SRB MSO IOC) are added to WLM definitions report.
Change 37.133 TYPE42HI dataset, variables S42VSXST/S42VSXRT/S42VSXID
VMAC42 added in MXG 37.02 and MXG 37.03 incorrectly as character
Jun 17, 2019 variables with $EBCDIC8 informat. Change 37.019 in 37.04
corrected them to &PIB.4. numeric variables, but if you
build WEEKLY PDBs with some days created by 37.02/03 and
other days by 37.04 or later, you will need to either
DROP those variables from the 02/03 day's PDB, or just
remove the creation of TYPE42HI for that week.
It is always best if a new version of MXG is installed
to run on the first day of your week, so that all of
those daily PDBs will have identical structure.

Change 37.126 z/VM MONWRITE deaccumulated field deltas are sometimes a
VMACVMXA negative value, especially in user fields like VMDTTIME,
Jun 7, 2019 usually related to a VM system event, but the original
assumption was that the negative value was due to a wrap
of the 4-byte accumulated value, so 4294967296 is added,
a guess at the full word wrap value, but these negatives
are not due to a wrap, and you get a very large value.
This change now sets the variable to a MISSING VALUE when
a negative delta is found, so those spikes won't impact.
Thanks to Terry Chao, DC Government, USA.
Change 37.125 Reserved Change.
====== CHANGES THRU 37.124 ARE IN MXG 37.04 DATED Jun 5, 2019 =========

May 28, 2019 The comments in Change 36.253 are wrong and the proposed
CPUTM_ALL=SUM(CPUTM,CPUMOBILCP) is now CPUTM_ALL-CPUTM
and labeled EQUAL*TO*CPUTM. Using a WLM Policy that
classified the entire workload for a service class as
MOBILE, the Service Units were the same in the sum of
R723CCPU and R723CSRB (CPUTCBTM and CPUSRBTM), and in
R723TSUCP and in R723MSUCP (Total GP and Total Mobile).

AUTOEXEW OPTIONS NOWPSSCATTERCOMP; which turns off the facility.
May 22, 2019 -This correction also fixed a CPU Loop in WPS 4.1.
Jun 17, 2019 -CONFIGW4 for z/OS and AUTOEXEW for ASCII have the option
added, but commented out, and for WPS 4.1 you must remove
the comment block. That option did not exist in 4.0.
Jul 3: Corrected in WPS 4.1.2.0.17535.
Change 37.116A Variable OPENTIME was repeated in _BTY1415 By List macro,
VMAC1415 causing NOTE:DUPLICATE BY VARIABLES. Second OPENTIME was

Change 37.111 Final revisions for WSF/EOS WSFAUDIT variables AUDACT
FORMATS and AUDOBJN and their FORMATS, replaces Change 37.083.
VMACWSF -Dataset WSFACCT will always have zero observations; it
May 14, 2019 was never correct and is replaced by the four datasets
WSFDSN, WSFERD, WSFEVTSC, and WSFEVTPR.
Change 37.110 MXG Members TYPExxxx create output datasets in //WORK,
TECHNOTE MXG Members TYPSxxxx always SORT from WORK to PDB, and
May 11, 2019 the _Sxxxx sort macro all datasets for product xxxx and
deaccumulates those datasets with accumulated fields.
Exception: TYPEDB2 invokes the _SDB2 macro that sorts
all DB2 datasets except for DB2ACCT, and _SDB2
deaccumulates the DB2 datasets listed below
that need deaccumulation. They are also listed
in member DIFFDB2 lists sort/nonsort datasets.
NOTE: DB2ACCTP is sorted by _SDB2, but if you
only want Stats sorted, use _S100.

Change 37.106 A check of SYSFILRC that should have been inside a DO
BLDSMPDB loop checking SMFIN could cause a spurious critical error
May 8, 2019 saying that the allocation of the SMF file failed if some
May 13,2019 other earlier FILENAME statement had failed. FILENAME
May 19, 2019 statements don't tell us when they have a problem until
you try to use them unless you check the SYSFILRC macro
variable for a non-zero value.
-If you run a weekly job independently of a daily job and
are using AUTOALOC=YES and need to rerun the week using
FORCEDAY it pointed at the incorrect day and did not
recognize the start of the week. FORCEDAY should always
be the date of the data being processed so if your week
starts on Monday FORCEDAY should point at Sundays date.
If you are running a weekly or monthly job the code
validating parameters still looks at the value in
BUILDPDB and if it did not match what was expected could
cause a failure. Now you can either omit the parameter
and allow it to default or you can specify BUILDPDB=NO.
-If you run TREND daily and needed to rerun a WEEK, the
trending ran as if it were daily. If you are using
AUTOALOC this just repeats what was already done and
there will be no duplication of data. Now BLDSMPDB checks
to see that RUNDAY is NE NO.
-BLDSMPDB now sets SYSCC=16 if it detects any errors, and
displays that condition code value at the end.
Change 37.105 Support for SMF 120 WAS and LIBERTY COMPATIBLE new data:
VMAC120 -Subtype 11. TYP120BL. SM120BDL='ON IF*CVTZCBP*IS ON?'

SM1209HX='WORKER*THREADS*PRESENT'
-Subtype 12. TYP12012. SM120CEJ='ON IF*CVTZCBP*IS ON?'
Change 37.104 Variables CECSER and CPCMODEL are added to TYPE72GO data
VMAC7072 set, retained from prior 70. However, they are set blank
May 6, 2019 if the PREVVSYS system is not the SYSTEM of this record,
May 19, 2019 which could happen if the SMF data was sorted before MXG
or if an SMF Dump happens to start with type 72 records.

-Previously _SCICddd Statistic Dataset Sort Macros only
PROC SORTed from WORK to PDB; there was no deaccumulation
so fields with accumulated values were wrong. Now, all
_SCICddd macros de-accumulate correctly into the PDB.
The _S110 macro sorts account and all statistics datasets
the _S110ST macro sorts only the statistics datasets.
-By DEFAULT, TYPE110 & BUILDPDB do NOT invoke _S110ST. All
datasets are left in work, where you can tailor EXPDBOUT
to sort all or individual datasets. You can use
%LET EPDBOUT= _S110ST ; in your SYSIN to sort the stats
datasets AND deaccumulate to correct errors in CICINTRV.
-But if UTILBLDP is used to create your tailored BUILDPDB,
and if CICS data was requested, then _S110 is invoked, so
your PDB.CICINTRV will be valid as soon as you use 37.04.
-TYPS110 invokes _S110, TYPE110 does not.
-Revised deaccumulation logic needed JOB READTIME added
to the BY list, and logic NOT FIRST.READTIME used to
eliminate large values created when back-to-back regions
had forward times.
-A new _SCICxxx sort macros option MXGCICRQTSORT can be
used to only read and use the SMFSTRQT='INT' interval
records with this statement in your //SYSIN:
%LET MXGCICRQTSORT=%QUOTE(WHERE SMFSTRQT='INT');
This needs testing when you have multiple RQTs.
The MXG default continues to use ALL record types.
-A new macro variable &MXGCICSORTED is set to YES in
_S110 and _S110ST macros so that the logic in VMXGCICI
knows to use the PDB deaccumulated data. You would only
need to set it to YES if you are building CICINTRV in
a separate job from the one that created the stats PDB.
Change 37.101 MXG 37.03, if you used USERADD=102.nnn syntax for DB2
UTILBLDP IFCID subtype, and used BUILDPDB=YES, the generated code
May 6, 2019 was wrong and failed with 455-185 W102nnn error.
Thanks to Tim Hare, Florida Department of Transportation, USA.

Change 37.098 -Possible Abend S0C7 when using the CDF Filter SYSPLEX=
ASMRMFV after ASMRMFV change 36.241. Affects MXG releases
May 1, 2019 36.12-37.03. HAS NOT OCCURRED, exposure was observed.
-Options message RMFV037I incorrectly shows SHOWASI,
but SHOWASI option is not actually in effect. Affects
MXG release 37.03 only.
Change 37.097 APAR OA56762 NEGATIVE SMF30_TIME_ZIIP_ON_CP zOS 2.2 only,
TECHNOTE FLASH caused LARGE CPU time of 42,949,672 seconds because MXG
Apr 30, 2019 input as PIB4 expecting positive values. The INVALID
DATA BIT in SMF30TF2 for this time field WAS NOT ON.
This is variable CPUZIETM='ZIP-ELIGIBLE*CPU TIME*ON CP'
in MXG TYPE30 datasets, and the defect was in eight
subtype 3 interval termination records in this SMF file
Thanks to Jutta Gleixner-Schmid, ALLIANZ. GERMANY.
Change 37.096 RMF III dataset ZRBASI variables ASIFRXB_LF,ASIFRXA_LF
VMACRMFV and ASIFRXH_LF are the sum variables that should have
Apr 26. 2019 been divided by ASISMPCT to report their average value.
The labels are also corrected. Variables CPC_CECNAME
and LPARNAME are added to dataset ZRBBDSIH.
Thanks to Karl Laseki, American Chemical Society, USA.
Change 37.095 New variables added to TYPEDBDS (IMF from BMC):
FORMATS -DBTRIOTM DBTWIOTM DBTFLAG2 DBTFLAG3
VMACCIMS DBTNOI DBTNOO DBTBFSTK DBTBFSTN
VMACIMS -Formats for DBTFLAG2 and DBTFLAG3 created.
Apr 25, 2019 -IMS07 ENDTIME could be missing due to 8 bytes
May 3, 2019 found but not documented; detection/protection
was added.
-Variable BHTOON is added to CIMSTRAN and CIMSDBDS;
it was already kept in CIMSPROG.
-Variable ALPCPTRN was incorrectly formatted $HEX8 and
incorrectly used to create UOWTIME.
-UOWTIME was incorrectly created like CICS UOWTIME with
only 6-bytes of datetime, but IMS UOWTIME is 8-bytes in
UOWTRANS, now used to create the IMS UOWTIME.
Thanks to Randy Hewitt, DXC, USA.
Change 37.094 CICS 110 Stats CICLSRR dataset accumulated variables that
VMAC110 end with BFF/CRF/CRS/CWF/CWS/FRD/UIW are now correctly
Apr 24. 2019 deaccumulated in _SCICLS1 sort macro when TYPS110 is used
Apr 26, 2019 or it can be added after TYPE110 is included.
See Change 37.102, all CICS Statistics are deaccumulated.

VMAC29
Apr 24, 2019
Thanks to Kurt Gramling, T-SYS, USA.
Change 37.092 TRENDINCODE= parameter added to both macros to allow you
VMXGRMFI to limit the trend datasets. You could limit the amount
VMXGDBSS of data retained by specifying (using VMXGDBSS here) by:
Apr 20, 2019 TRENDINCODE=IF DATEPART(BEGTIME) GE TODAY()-732;
to impose a 2 year limit on the data.
====== CHANGES THRU 37.091 ARE IN MXG 37.03 DATED Apr 19, 2019 =========
Change 37.091 -TYPE42 Subtype 5 INPUT EXCEEDED when new MCO/SYO/BGO data
VMAC42 segments exist, MXG miscoded the new segments, MXG 37.02.
VGETUTKN -Hex 00 protection for UTKNPOE/UTKNSCL/SMF42GAO/SMFA2GAO/
Apr 18, 2019 SMF42FAJ/SMF42FBN/SMFA2FAJ/SMFA2FBN/SMF42GAN/SMFA2GAN.
ST 5 Error caught by Early Adopter tester in MXG 37.03EA.
-Jun 17: Variables S42VSXST and S42VSXRT were created in
MXG 37.02-03 incorrectly with $EBCDIC8 informat. This
change corrected them to &PIB.4. numeric variables in
TYPE42HI dataset, but if you build WEEKLY PDBs with some
days 37.02/37.03, and some 37.04 or later, you will need
to DROP those variables from the 02/03-built PDB.
Change 37.090 When BUILDPDB=YES is used with %UTILBLDP, the SMF 113
UTILBLDP records are automatically processed, and ASUM113 is run
Apr 15, 2019 after BUILDPDB. Now, SUPPRESS=113 can be used if you
don't want those datasets.
Change 37.089 -Major enhancements to ASMRMFV and VMACRMFV.
ADOCRMFV -New Field Data Filter (FDF) feature supports field level
ASMRMFV data selection for the RMF III ASI, CSR, and DVT tables.
VMACRMFV -The ANDIF=, ORIF=, IF= keywords are used to specify a
Apr 16, 2019 FDF filter called an IF expression.
-FDF complements the existing Character Data Filter (CDF)
feature. CDF has no numeric data filtering capability.
-If both CDF and FDF filters are used, then CDF filtering
occurs first. Entries filtered by CDF are never passed
to FDF.
-FDF supports character, fixed point, floating point,
percent, bit string, hex string, time, and time of day
fields for filtering depending on the format and content
of each field.
-FDF uses IF expressions with 3 components enclosed in
required matched left/right parentheses in this order:
1. RMF III field name or MXG variable name when
supported
2. Comparison operator
3. Character, numeric, bit string, hex string, percent,
time, or time of day value as appropriate to the
field being filtered.
-See documentation Sections 31-34 for full details on the
use of FDF.
-New RMFV080I-RMFV088I messages added for FDF support.
-New options SHOWARR (alias SHARR) and NOSHOWARR (alias
NSHARR) added to display IF expression memory storage
array activity. Default is NOSHOWARR. see Section 6
Report Control Parameters for more details.
-New options SHOWIF (alias SHIF) and NOSHOWIF (alias
NOSHIF) added to display IF expression compare results
in both Detail and Summary reports in message RMFV080I.
Default is SHOWIF. see Section 6 Report Control
Parameters for more details.
-New option IFERR= controls handling of errors detected
while processing ANDIF=/IF=/ORIF= expressions. Possible
settings are ABEND, ERROR, WARN, IGNORE. Default is
IFERR=ERROR. See Section 8 Error Handling Parameters
For more details.
-Three recently documented RMF Monitor III tables are now
supported for PDB builds: PCI, SCM, and ZFS.
-The PCIE Activity Data Table may be selected with the
PCI, P, MOST, or ALL table select options.
-The Storage Class Memory Data Table may be selected with
the SCM, MOST, or ALL table select options.
-The ZFS Performance Data Table may be selected with the
ZFS, Z, MOST, or ALL table select options.
RMF III data set.
-ASMRMFV will now detect quoted strings and not apply any
translations regardless of UPCASE/NOUPCASE settings.
-ASMRMFV will no longer check for Control Unit Busy or
Switch Port Busy when filtering DVT entries with the
NOZEROIO option. These DVT fields became obsolete and
unused with z/OS 1.4 in September 2002.
-Almost all documentation for ASMRMFV now resides only
in the ADOCRMFV member.
-ADOCRMFV has been reformatted to take advantage of full
72 column width for better legibility.
-Message RMFV033* showed an incorrect value for index
count if an I/O error occurs reading the first or last
MINTIME interval.
-Many documentation sections have been updated and 4 new
sections are added:
Section 31 Field Data Filtering (FDF)
Section 32 Filtering The ASI Table
Section 33 Filtering The CSR Table
Section 34 Filtering The DVT Table
Change 37.088 DB2 102 IFCID 106 truncated variables longer lengths are

Change 37.087 SMF 50 VTAM Tuning record subtypes 02 and 05 don't match
VMAC50 the record documentation and IBM has acknowledged and
Apr 15, 2019 will revise their doc, when this text will be updated.
This change only reverses the order of RDUX/REDE.
Thanks to Svend Zaunick, Finanz Informatik, GERMANY.
Change 37.086 MXG Support for the new Japanese Reiwa era dates is in
TECHNOTE place as MXG does not use any Japanese informats, but
Apr 10, 2019 SAS Note 63973 reports an update is needed to provide
support in NENGO and JNENGO informats/formats.
Change 37.085 SMF 92 Subtype 52 INPUT EXCEEDED. because SMF92TRSN was
VMAC92 documented as 52 EBCDIC on page 846, but there are only
Apr 10, 2019 8 bytes at the end of the record for the name, and the
segment length is 48 to match a final 8-byte field.
But I believed the SMF manual and INPUT 52 without an
extra test to see if the bytes were there.
Thanks to Joe Faska, DTCC, USA.
Change 37.084 Variables CMB10C0-CMB10C4 in VXPRCAPM are wrong because
VMACVMXA their DIF() calls had the wrong variable.

Thanks to Graham Harris, RBS, ENGLAND.
Change 37.083 -Ignore the first two sections of this original text.
VMACWSF -WSF/EOS revisions corrected misalignment in WSFAUDIT
VMACWSF dataset, but AUDOBJT values of '6C'x and 'B4'x are not
Apr 10, 2019 documented, and the order of AUDACT and AUDOBJT is NOT
Apr 19, 2019 consistent with the documentation, which has always has
May 14, 2019 ACT then OBJT, but for ACT values of '60'x or higher,
I've observed OBJT is first, and the value of OBJT has
to be used to decode the multiple uses of the AUDOBJI
field into the correct variable.
-Also, OBJT values of '6C'x,'B4'x are found but not
documented in the DSECT.
-Dataset WSFACCT will always have zero observations; it
was never correct and is replaced by the four datasets
WSFDSN, WSFERD, WSFEVTSC, and WSFEVTPR.

Change 37.078 BY variable R748SIID in dataset TYPE748 format is now
VMAC74 HEX4 (was HEX2), and there are no duplicate observations
Apr 2, 2019 in TYPE748S as R748SIID is unique to each record, due
to that too-short format, false duplicates could have
been deleted in the past.
Thanks to Douglas C. Walter, CITRIBANK, USA.
Change 37.077 Enhanced to sort and remove intervals where a SYSTEM is
SAGANAL on multiple CECs, as when it was moved from one CEC to

Apr 2, 2019 only 44 bytes, When FSR2_UNML is greater than 44, FDRDSN
will contain the first part of the name, then ... and
then the last part of the name, while FSR2_UNAM will
contain the full name (up to 128 char).

Change 37.074 QBSTBPIN was always incorrectly calculated before the
VMACDB2 variables used in the calculation had been DIF()'d
Mar 30, 2019 yielding unrealistically high values. The calculation is
now done in DIFFDB2 after the DIF() calls are done.
Thanks to Randy Hewitt, DXC, USA.
Change 37.073 BBMQ processing reported UNEXPECTED RTINs, when you have
VMACBBMQ multiple BMC products writing to a common history file.
Mar 29, 2019 MXG BBMQ now selects only E1x-E8x, skipping other values

to BBMQ 5.3 records in 5.4.
Thanks to James Wajda, Credit-Suisse, USDA.
Change 37.072 ODS Statistical graphics procedures make extensive use
TECHNOTE of JAVA, which can be very memory intensive on zOS. This
Mar 28, 2019 is any procedure starting with SG or any ODS HTML or ODS
PDF outputs. SAS recommends REGION=512M minimum but the
MXG recommendation is always REGION=0M on the JOB card

UTILBLDP when BUILDPDB=YES.
Mar 20, 2019
Change 37.063 -The ANALID report showed only IDANDSUM=26.000 for either

detects this condition and warns that the use of report
classes should not be attempted until this can be
resolved
Change 37.053 New utility contribution, UTILMISS, will create a data
UTILMISS set from an existing dataset, removing all variables that
Mar 8, 2019 have all numeric missing values, and characters blank.
Thanks to Jim S. Horne, Lowe's Companies, USA.
Change 37.052 Variable CPUERROR in TYPE30 datasets is a two-byte field
VMAC30 but was accidentally made length $4 some time ago due to
Mar 7, 2019 a blank that gave it $HEX8 format which forced length 4.
The correct $HEX4. format is now applied, but LENGTH $4
is also forced, since a change in length will cause PROC
APPEND to fail if the user didn't specify FORCE. These
TYPE30xx datasets are too critical to not protect.
-Flag variables SMF30T32 and SMF30T33 are now kept.
Change 37.051 -IFCID 319 variable QW0319FL is replaced by a variable

VMAC71 (2.3) exist on z/OS 2.3. MXG does NOT use VERSNRMF for
VMAC73 any logic, but this correction for CMF records sets the

character field. Previously, MXG TYPE26J2 only output
SUBS=2 execution purge records. Now, if the SUBS is 3,
the JES3 record is deleted with MXGERROR messages that
TYPE26J3/BUILDPD3 must be used for JES3. If the SUBS is
other than 2, the records are presumed to be valid JES2
records, but MXGWARN messages print the SUBSYSTEM name.

Thanks to Giuseppe Giacomodonato, EPVTECH, ITALY.
Change 37.024 Using READDB2 with WANTONLY arguments DB2ST/DB2PST caused
READDB2 ERROR: Char Operand in the %EVAL, due to a superfluous
Jan 29, 2019 AND in an %IF statement that also exposed that PDBOUT=YES
Feb 1, 2019 failed in the PROC SORT of the DB2STATx datasets.
The WANTONLY doc has been updated to note that
WANTONLY DOES NOT SUPPORT DB2STATS DB2STATR DB2GBPST
DB2STATB DB2SDTSBP AND DB2STAT5 DATASETS.
Thanks to Keith C. Shaffer, Cigna, USA.
Thanks to James Cyr. Cigna, USA.
Change 37.023 Unused Change Number.
Change 37.022 The new $MGRMIPS format that maps IBM processor model to
GRAFWRKX MSU and MIPS capacity (created in 37.001) is now used in
GRAFCEC these Graphs, which use PDB.ASUMCELP which has variable
Jan 28, 2019 CPCFNAME so MIPS can be calculated from percent busy:
MIPS=PCTBUSY/100*PUT(CPCFNAME,$MGRMIPS.);
The CPCFNAME is constructed from CPU TYPE and MODEL as
CPCFNAME=PUT(CPUTYPE,$HEX4.)!!'-'!!CPCMODEL;
programmatically, or manually as '3906-420' for that z14.
Thanks to Ervin Claxon, CSX, USA.
Change 37.021 If you run on ASCII with autoaloc=yes and did not put an
VMXGALOC execution of VMXGALOC in your IMACINIT (strongly our
Jan 28, 2019 recommendation) but added a second execution of VMXGALOC
and the parameters did not precisely match those you used
in BLDSMPDB and did not specify READONLY=YES to suppress
the aging off of old directories you could potentially
lose data as it deleted old directories. This change now
looks to see it you specified READONLY as NO and the
current days PDB has already been created it will
generate an MXGNOTE and set READONLY to YES.
-YR2KEEP and BASEYEAR parameters are added to let you
allocate a yearly PDB, Defaults to 0, so it won't be
created or allocated unless you enable it, and you will
need to update your BLDSMPDB to add the dataset names
you want created in the yearly directories. Contact
support@mxg.com if you need help.
Change 37.020 Unused Change Number.
Change 37.019 Documentation note for VMXGUOW/ASUMUOW. If you have a
VMXGUOW tailored CICSTRAN dataset and have dropped any variables,
Jan 25, 2019 you may get an UNITIALIZED message for those variables in
ASUMUOW. While this is an expected and non-critical error
you can remove the error by editing the _KUOWIDC _KUOWCIC
or _Kuowcix macros where the variables appear and simply
remove the variable(s) from the list.
Change 37.018 Support for STC HSC Subtype 32 & 33 create new datasets
EXSTCV32 STCVSM32='RESERVED,INTERNAL USE'
EXSTCV33 STCVSM33='MVCPOOL USAGE'
VMXGINIT
VMACSTC
Jan 27, 2019
Thanks to Randy Hewitt, DXC, USA.
Change 37.017 Many non-fatal corrections were made to type 92:
VMAC92 -Several 16-byte STCKE datetimes inputs were wrong:
Jan 24, 2019 SMF92CCT,SMF92MCT,SMF92CCT,SMF92FSMN
-GMT92OFF had to be relocated around the STCKE INPUT.
-Subtype 50+ have 72 byte data section, 32 for LT 50.
-Subtype 50 variables LRP-LRN only in SMF92EVENT=1,
and INPUT changed from &PIB.4.3 to &PIB.4.0.
-Subtype 50 variables OVS/OCH only in SMF92EVENT=4
-Poor Labels SMF92EVENT/SMF92VOL/SMF92CCHH/SMF92VCN
were enrichened.
-Subtype 50 SMF92OCH corrected format to HEX for CCHH.
-Variable SMF92ADN only kept in TYPE9217 dataset.
-Subtype 59 only the first instance was output.
-Subtype 52 and 54 had incorrect SKIP values.
-Subtype 58 SMF92TRL relocated outside the loop.
-Subtype 59 2 byte filler removed with STCKE fix.
This demonstrates the difficulty in writing new code
with no SMF records to test. SMF 92 code was updated
in Aug 2017 in Change 35.180, expecting a user to send
SMF data if problems were observed, and that didn't
happen until January 2019, with most of the above fixes
mostly done by these two users:
Thanks to John Compton, World Programming Ltd, ENGLAND.
Thanks to Steve Bagshaw, ITMetrics, ENGLAND.
Change 37.016 Report showing total bytes/counts and min/max datetimes
ANALID for each SYSTEM is added as the second report.
Jan 19, 2019
Change 37.015 Variable EDGRTIME had missing values with DATEFORM=E/A/I;
FORMATS RHDTFORM logic moved ahead of EDGRTIME for H record and
VMACEDGR label corrected to EDGRTIME='REPORT*DATE TIME'
Jan 20, 2019
Thanks to Lindsay Oxenham, Department of Defence, AUSTRALIA.
Change 37.014 INPUT EXCEEDED DB2STAT1 SMF 100 Subtype 1 NETEZZA/IDAA
VMACDB2 record because IBM changed the length of OFFQ8ST segment
Jan 18, 2019 but couldn't change LENQ8ST because it is a single field
in the header that should apply to all segments. But the
correct length is now set with LENQ8ST=Q8STNAME_OFF+8;
using the end of the name field for the actual length.
Thanks to Graham Harris, RBS, ENGLAND.
Thanks to Randy Hewitt, DXC, USA.
Change 37.013 New example to count both TAPEDRVS and STEPS, and the
ANALCNCR Concurrency with only one pass of the data.
Jan 20, 2019
Thanks to Randy Hewitt, DXC, USA.
Change 37.012 z/VM Service Level 40061802 INPUT STATEMENT EXCEEDED due
VMACVMXA to VMMTRSYS inserting 60 bytes in the 1.04 record.
Jan 17, 2019
Thanks to Craig S. Bigler, Progressive Insurance, USA.
Change 37.011 Variables QXFETCH/QWACSPEB UNINITIALIZED due to misspell.
VMXGUOW Enhanced to make it easy to only process CICSTRAN data:
Jan 19, 2019 IF _LDB2ACC=_NULL_, DB2 data will not be read.
Jan 25, 2019 IF _INMQ=_NULL_ MQ data will not be read.
Counts of OBS before and after are created and if the
OBS reduction is LT 2, an MXGNOTE advises you to skip
using ASUMUOW which can be very CPU intensive and is
really needed for heavy CICS MRO sites, to consolidate
those multiple CICSTRAN observations into one UOW,
Unit of Work observation.
Thanks to Gary Keeres, Indianapolis Power & Light, USA.
Change 37.010 Reserved Change Number.
FORMATS
VMAC89
Jan 16, 2019
Change 37.009 The $%VGETOBS(DDNAME=&PDBMXG should be (DDNAME=&PDBMXG1
GRAFCEC although no error occurred unless you had set a value
Jan 14, 2019 other than "PDB" for the location of the input PDB.
Thanks to Tom MacCabe, Dominion Energy, USA.
Change 37.008 Enhancement, addition of INCODE= parameter to allow
GRAFWRKX selection by date or system with your inserted code.
Jan 11, 2019 Suppressed a no longer needed graphics catalog note.
Change 37.007 -Support for Beta93 Version 6.2 subtypes 2 and 3, which
VMACBETA both have a lot of undocumented data: subtype 2 docs 140
Jan 22, 2019 but length is 208 and subtype 3 docs 156 with 224 length.
Change 37.006 -If MXGDEBUG has length GT 0 and DSNSTRING or DATASET are
VMXGPRAL zero, debugging messages are created by VMXGPRAL.
VMAC102 -Unmatched parens in data set labels read by VMXGPRAL
Jan 11, 2019 caused non-fatal error messages for datasets with obs:
ERROR: Expected close parenthesis after macro function.
All MXG dataset's labels were examined and VMAC102 for
IFCIDs 84 85 86 87100 101 174 AND 175 were corrected.
Change 37.005 Support for DB2 102 Trace IFCID/SUBTYPE 404 populates
VMAC102 T102S404 (Authorization Compatibility) dataset with
Jan 10, 2019 QW0404xx variables.
Thanks to Warren Cravey, FMR, USA.
Change 37.004 Reading z/OS DATA using the SAS FTP Access method needs
TECHNOTE the RCMD='SITE RDW' argument:
Jan 9, 2019 FILENAME SMF FTP ("'SYS1.SMF'" "'SYS2.SMF'" ... )
USER='XXXXXX' HOST='YYYYYYY' DEBUG
S370VS RCMD='SITE RDW' LRECL=32760
PASS='XXXXXXXX' PASSIVE;
If RCMD is not used, the transfer will time out when
PASSIVE is specified, or will produce a RACF ERROR
if PASSIVE was not specified.
Change 37.003 SMF119 dataset TYP11952 variable SMF119ML_IP_IPV4 was
VMAC119 wrongly compressed of blanks from variable TIRIP instead
Jan 8, 2019 of from SMF119ML_IP_IPV4 in line 4519.
Thanks to Randy Shumate, RELX Group, USA
Change 37.002 -SMF92 Subtype 8 INPUT STATEMENT EXCEEDED because the
VMAC92 documented length of SMF92GDD in the SMF Manual is 4,
Jan 8, 2019 but the length in the record is 8 bytes.
-There were also numerous non-fatal corrections:
-SMF92 Subtype 50, SMF92STHCL missing period, and names
SMF90OIOCCL/SMF82VCX were corrected to SMF92.
Thanks to Miroslav Kubik, IBM Corporation, CZECH REPUBLIC.
Thanks to John Compton, World Programming Ltd, ENGLAND.
Change 37.001 -Improve ability to propagate variables of interest to
ADOCRMFV multiple SAS data sets during RMF III PDB build.
ASMRMFV -RMF III CPCDB table fields CPC_CecMSU, CPC_LparMSU, and
FORMATS CPC_HomeLPName, are added to MXG01 record from the first
VMACRMFV MINTIME interval for each RMF III VSAM dataset at open,
Jan 6, 2019 but those MXG01 values are the values only at start.
Jan 14, 2019 -Format $MGRMIPS is created to map GEIMODEL/GEIIMDL to
Jan 29, 2019 create the CPC_CECMIPS using IBM's LSPRITR table:
Feb 2, 2019 IBM Resource Link: Large Systems Performance Reference
https://www-01.ibm.com/servers/resourcelink/
lib03060.nsf/pages/lspritrzOsv2r2?OpenDocument
-RMF III GEI table fields GEIMODEL and GEIMDL added to
MXG01 record from the first MINTIME interval for each
RMF III VSAM data set, but the MXG01 value is only the
RMF III start. But by RETAINing these fields from the
GEI and CPU records, and by relocating the write of the
GEI, CPU, and CPCDB records before the ASI records for
each interval, the CEC MODEL/Speed and MSU/MIPS capacity
variables CPC_CECNAME CPUCEMSU CPUCEMIPS CPULPMSU
GEIMODEL GEIIMDL and LPARNAME are populated in ZRBASI
and several other datasets.
-NOTE: Not all the fields mentioned above are always
static. Use the RMF III DATASET SWITCH option to force
RMF III to overwrite the oldest data set whenever it is
started if separation of configuration changes by data
set is desired.
-CSVQUERY macro added to show load module size in Change
36.241 for ASMRMFV destroyed pointer to SCT (Step Control
Table). This caused ASMPGM and ASMSTEPN fields in MXG00
record to be garbage and also in message in VMACRMFV.
-Section 12 "Messages" is updated.
-In MXG 36.36 the fields GEIIMDL/GEIMODE were added to
ZRBASI, but they could be incorrect, precipitating
this change in logic in VMACRMFV.

Yes, you need MXG 36.11 for CICS/TS 5.5 because fields were
inserted into SMF 110 CICSTRAN records and using old MXG will
have trashed values due to the misalignment, but MXG could run
and only print error messages, which might be false positives,
or could execute with no errors nor log messages, especially if
you have a tailored IMACEXCL, but your CICSTRAN dataset will
still be invalid.

Please read CHANGESS for the complete list of major enhancements.
See member NEWSLTRS or the Newsletters frame at http://www.mxg.com for
current MXG Technical Notes.
All of these enhancements are described in the Change Log, below.
II. SAS Version requirement information:
SAS Versions
The current version nomenclature is SAS 9.4 TS1M5 (9.4M5), "M5",
or "SAS 9.4 (TS04.01M5P09132017)" if the OPTION VERSIONLONG is
enabled.
Only on z/OS, SAS 9.4 "M5" requires MXG 35.36+ because it adds the
NOERRORSTOP option to protect all MXG PROC SQLs from the M5 defect
described in SAS Note 61672. But SAS apparently does not plan for
a defect correction since the MXG Circumvention solves for MXG and
the text of 61672 simply describes the circumvention needed because
MXG's use of OPTIONS OBS=0 without NOERRORSTOP exposed the defect.
See Change 35.309 for more details on using NOERRORSTOP for your
own PROC SQLs.
SAS V9.4 M5 is RECOMMENDED, but MXG executes without error
using SAS Version 9.4 M0-M2 or M4-M5 or SAS Version 9.3 M0-M2.
SAS V9.4 M5 is REQUIRED with z/OS 2.3 with Eight-Byte USERIDs
for Interactive TSO (DMS) SAS Sessions. SAS Note 61339.
SAS V9.4 M3 is NOT RECOMMENDED. See Change 36.129 SAS Note 61906
that reports 40% Increase in CPU time with M3.
SAS V9.4 (ALL) and SAS V9.3 (ALL) are at LEVEL A SAS Support.
SAS V9.3 SAS 9.3 TS1M2 was RECOMMENDED. SAS 9.3 TS1M1 works ok.
But SAS 9.3 at TS1M0, the HOT FIX for SAS Note SN-43828,
see CHANGE 29.169, IS REQUIRED:
The %MACRO compiler error is in processing %LET
statements. While only two MXG members failed
repeatedly in MXG QA tests on z/OS, there were random
%LET errors in ASCII QA tests, so ANY use of %LET
statement on ANY platform are vulnerable to this
error, as the %MACRO compiler is SAS portable code,
used on all platforms. So this is NOT just an MXG
error, but impacts ALL SAS programs.
SAS9.3 is LEVEL A support from SAS.
SAS V9.2 Was recommended, prior to 9.3, and was error-free with
MXG 26.03 SAS Hot Fix for SAS Note 37166 is required to
use a VIEW with the MXG EXITCICS/CICSFIUE CICS/DB2
Decompression Infile Exit. but SAS V9.2 does execute on
that platform.
9.2 is LEVEL B Support from SAS, as of Sep 30, 2013.
SAS V9.1.3 on z/OS 1.10 requires SAS Hot Fix for SN-35332 and is at
Support level C by SAS Institute, Sep 30, 2013.
SAS V9.1.3 is NOT supported by SAS on Windows SEVEN.
SAS V8.2 SUPPORT LEVEL C BY SAS INSTITUTE; NOT ALL OF MXG WORKS!
with SAS 8.2.
SAS 8.2 is Level C Support from SAS as of Dec 31, 2011.
JCL in MXGSAS94 or MXGSAS93 can be used, or MXGNAMES can be used
***************************************************************
As documented in Change 27.356, for SAS V9.2 or later):
The standard SAS JCL Procedure can be used for MXG with SAS V9.2+
// EXEC SAS,CONFIG='MXG.SOURCLIB(CONFIMXG)'
//MXGNAMES DD DSN=MXG.USERID.SOURCLIB(MXGNAMES),DISP=SHR
or you can continue to use the MXGSAS94 JCL Procedure example.
***************************************************************
MXG 26.03 thru MXG 36.11 will execute under the previously listed
SAS Versions on all supported platforms
Unrelated to the above SAS Note/Hot Fix, ODS users will want to
use MXG 29.06+, because SAS V9.3 did expose incompatibilities in
MXG code for ODS reporting, that were fixed in MXG Version 29.06.
See Changes 29.159 and 29.169.
And, only for z/OS 1.10 with SAS V9.1.3 with ANY version of MXG,
the SAS Hot Fix for SN-35332 is REQUIRED (to be completely safe).
Without this Hot Fix, "LIBREF XXXXXXXX IS NOT ASSIGNED" errors
can occur even though //XXXXXXXX DD is a valid SAS Data Library.
This error ONLY occurs with z/OS 1.10 and SAS V9.1.3; it does
NOT occur with SAS V9.2, nor with z/OS 1.9. It can be
circumvented by adding a LIBNAME statement that specifies the
ENGINE name. See the Technical Note in Newsletters for SN-35332.
Note that SAS V9.1.3 is now at "Level B" Support from SAS.
Old MXG code may continue to execute with SAS V8.2, but V8 is now
"Level C" support from SAS Institute, and there are known errors
in V8.2 that are only fixed in SAS V9. I no longer QA with V8.2;
While many MXG programs (accidentally) will still execute under
V8.2, I cannot guarantee that all of MXG executes error free.
PLEASE INSTALL V9.2/V9.3/V9.4, TO AVOID FIXED PROBLEMS!
If you are absolutely stuck on V8, you need to copy MXG member
V8GETOBS into USERID.SOURCLIB and rename to VGETOBS.
MXG Software has not executed under SAS V6 in many years.
The "PDB" libraries (i.e., SAS data libraries) must be created by
SAS V8 or later, but any of those data libraries can be read or
updated by the SAS Versions that MXG Supports, above.
For SAS Version V9.3:
SAS 93 TS1M1 is RECOMMENDED; for TS1M0, SAS Hot Fix in SAS Note
SN43828 is REQUIRED. See text of Change 29.159.
With SAS 93 TS1M1, (or TS1M0 with that Hot Fix) MXG Versions
26.03 or later execute under SAS V9.3 on all platforms.
SAS Data Libraries created by SAS V8.2, V9.1.3, V9.2, V9.3 and
SAS V9.4 are interchangeable and can be read/written by any of
those versions, provided they are on the same platform.
BUT: on ASCII, the 32-bit and 64-bit SAS versions are NOT the
same "platform" and attempting to read/use the FORMAT catalog
created on one of those "platforms" on the other "platform"
will error out to remind you of that difference!
SAS V9.4 did change some V9.3 ODS processing defaults and syntax
that might cause errors with MXG 29.05 or earlier; MXG 29.06,
Change 29.160 documents the major revisions made in MXG to fully
support ODS, and MXG 29.06 is STRONGLY recommended for ODS with
SAS V9.3 or SAS V9.4.
For (Archaic) SAS Version V9.2 (TS1M0):
Big Picture: SAS Version V9.2 is COMPATIBLE with MXG Software.
On z/OS, SAS changed the DSNAMES for some of the SAS libraries,
so you do need to use the new MXGSAS92 JCL Procedure for MXG,
but it still uses the CONFIGV9 configuration file.
****************************************************************
However, NEW, and documented in Change 27.356, with SAS V9.2+:
The standard SAS JCL Procedure can be used for MXG:
// EXEC SAS,CONFIG='MXG.SOURCLIB(CONFIMXG)'
//MXGNAMES DD DSN=MXG.USERID.SOURCLIB(MXGNAMES),DISP=SHR
instead of using the MXGSAS92 JCL Procedure example.
****************************************************************
SAS Data Libraries are compatible for V8.2, V9.1.3, V9.2, V9.3,
and V9.4. "PDBs" can be read/written interchangeably between
these SAS versions.
MXG Versions 26.03+ do execute with SAS V9.2 with NO WARNINGS
and with NO ERRORS reported.
Pre-MXG 26.03, SAS Hot Fix F9BA07 was required to suppress a
new SAS V9.2 WARNING, that on z/OS, set CC=4 (condition/return
code). That warning is harmless (to MXG code) and all MXG
created SAS datasets were correct, even with that warning.
The ONLY exposure was ONLY on z/OS, and ONLY if condition code
tests are used in your MXG jobstreams.
SAS Version 9.2 requires z/OS 1.7 or later, both officially as
documented by SAS Institute, and actually as V9.2 fails with 0C4
under z/OS 1.4.
For SAS V9.1.3 on z/OS with Service Pack 4:
On z/OS 1.10, Hot Fix SN-35332 is REQUIRED.
CONFIGV9 now specifies V9SEQ instead of V6SEQ. As V6SEQ does
not support long length character variables, it can't be used.
SAS V9.1.3 with current Service Pack 4 is STRONGLY RECOMMENDED.
For (back-level!) SAS V9.1 or V9.1.2 on z/OS:
SN-013514 is REQUIRED to be able to read datasets that were
created by V6SEQ (tape) engine.
SN-012437 is REQUIRED to prevent creation of corrupt/unreadable
datasets with tape engines V7SEQ, V8SEQ, or V9SEQ.
Both fixes ARE included in SAS V9.1.3, but V9.1 or 9.1.2 is NOT
SAFE without those two hot fixes, and if you do NOT have those
two fixes on 9.1 or 9.1.2, you MUST set V6SEQ in CONFIGV9.
With MXG 23.02 or later, V9SEQ is the default sequential engine
specified in CONFIGV9, but if you are back at SAS V9.1 or V9.1.2
you MUST install the two hot fixes listed above.
For SAS Version 8.2, HotFix Bundle 82BX08 (or later) was required
as an absolute minimum level when that SAS Version was last
supported by MXG Software. PLEASE INSTALL SAS V9.x ASAP.
Sequential Engine Status:
V9SEQ was fixed in V9.1.3; it has been default in CONFIGV9.
V8SEQ was always safe under SAS V8.2, but it wasted CPU time
by always compressing when writing in tape format.
V6SEQ, if used under V9.1.2, requires SN-013514, but V6SEQ
should no longer be used, as it does not support long
length variables.
GENERAL STATEMENT FOR MXG QA TESTS AND SAS VERSIONS:
MXG QA tests are executed with V9.4, on z/OS, on Windows TEN and
Linux on 64-bit hardware, but MXG users execute MXG on MANY
(ALL??) SAS platforms, including AIX, Linux, and other 'nix'
variants, on many different hardware platforms, and since they all
work we don't need to list them. If SAS executes so does MXG.
Prior QA tests have been run with all SAS releases available at
that time on Linux RH8 on Intel, on Solaris v2.8 on a Model V880,
and on HP-UX v11.11 model rp5470, confirming full compatibility.
MXG should execute under ALL SUPPORTED SAS VERSIONS on EVERY SAS
platform without errors! Each new MXG version is also tested with
the SAS ITSV/ITRM product by the ITRM developers.
III. WPS Version requirement information:
WPS Version 3.02 (03.02.03.00.016221) is required Change 34.266.
and other errors with 3.00 or 3.01 have been corrected in the
current WPS version.
WPS Version 3.01.1 maintenance level 731 required for PDB to tape
WPS Version 3.01 (also shows 3.1.1) is required for AUTOEZOS.
WPS Version 3.01 is required for MOBILWRK, PICTURE fails in 2.5.
WPS Version 3.01 executed MXG 32.03 BUILDPDB with no errors.
WPS Version 3.0 requires MXG 31.09 (see Change 31.251).
WPS Version 2.4 required MXG 27.09 (see Change 27.239).
WPS Version 2.3.5 required MXG 27.05.
See NEWSLETTERS for WPS Support Statement.
WPS prints this message ERROR: COULD NOT CREATE DATA SET "PDB.ID"
when the LIBNAME PDB does not exist; there would also have been a
prior log message NOTE: Library PDB does not exist as the clue.
IV. MXG Version Required for Hardware, Operating System Release, etc.
MXG is usually NOT sensitive to z/OS Hardware changes, but:
THE Z14 CHANGED ONLY THE SMF 113 RECORD INCOMPATIBLY and that
was supported in MXG 35.11, but ASUM113 variable LPARBUSY was
missing until corrected in MXG 36.07. The new SMF70MAXPU variable
was added in MXG 36.04.
The z/13 with 61+ LPARs requires MXG 32.05 IF NON-SMT MODE.
The z/EC12 with 85+ engines required MXG 30.07.
Support for 255 engines was added in MXG 31.04.
However, for the z13 processor on z/OS, the new SMT-MODE RMF 70 was
INCOMPATIBLY CHANGED, and MXG 34.03 is REQUIRED (PCTCPUBY WRONG!), to
read the SMT-format RMF records (which are written if you have zIIP
engines AND have enabled the new PROCVIEW CORE option for
Multi-Threading, even if only one thread is enabled).
The new zEDC compression hardware requires MXG 33.07 to support the
new metrics.
For z/VM, MXG REQUIRES MXG 33.02 to support the z/13 changes.

error-free processing of that product's data records:

Note: Asterisk by the version number means the Version number
was changed (to the MXG version required), after an earlier
MXG version was listed as supporting this product release,
usually because an APAR modified the product's data records.
Or a coding error in MXG could be the reason for the change!

V. Incompatibilities and Installation of MXG 36.11.
1. Incompatibilities introduced in MXG 36.36:
a- Changes in MXG architecture made between 36.36 and prior versions
that can introduce known incompatibilities.
2. Installation and re-installation procedures are described in detail
in member INSTALL (which also lists common Error/Warning messages a
new user might encounter), and sample JCL is in member JCLINSTT for
SAS Version 9.
MXG Definitions with regard to MXG Software Changes:
COMPATIBLE A change in a data record which did not alter either
COMPAT the location or the format of all of the previously-
kept MXG variables is COMPATIBLE, and you can continue
to run the old version of MXG software, which will read
the new records without error, but none of any new data
fields or any new record subtypes will be created/kept
until you install the MXG Version with this change.
INCOMPAT A change in a data record that causes the current MXG
version to fail, visibly or invisibly, with or without
error conditions or messages, and the output datasets
may contain wrong values and incomplete observations,
and/or observations may have been lost.
You MUST install the new MXG Version with this change
to process data records that have been INCOMPATIBLY
changed by their vendor.
TOLERATE In other words, the old MXG Version TOLERATES the new
data records, if they are COMPATIBLY changed.
EXPLOIT Once you use the new MXG Version to read the changed
records, all of the new fields, subtypes, etc, that are
described in this change will be created in the MXG
datasets, so the new MXG Version EXPLOITS the new data,
and you have full support of the new data records.
An MXG Version never "expires" nor "goes out of Support". When
you put in a new product/subsystem/Release/APAR that incompatibly
changed its records then you must install the current MXG Version
or at least be using the minimum level of MXG that is currently
documented in the preceding list in section IV.
COSMETIC Some Changes will start with COSMETIC. This indicates
that that change only alters a displayed value or may
be a spelling error in a label, but it is "cosmetic"
in that it ONLY affected the display, and the output
data sets created are NOT impacted by this change.
VI. Online Documentation of MXG Software.
MXG Documentation is now described in member DOCUMENT.
See also member INDEX, but it may be overwhelming.
VII. Changes Log
--------------------------Changes Log---------------------------------
You MUST read each Change description to determine if a Change will
impact your site. All changes have been made in this MXG Library.
Member CHANGES always identifies the actual version and release of
MXG Software that is contained in that library.
The CHANGES selection on our homepage at http://www.MXG.com
is always the most current information on MXG Software status,
and is frequently updated.
Important changes are also posted to the MXG-L ListServer, which is
also described by a selection on the homepage. Please subscribe.
The actual code implementation of some changes in MXG SOURCLIB may be
different than described in the change text (which might have printed
only the critical part of the correction that need be made by users).
Scan each source member named in any impacting change for any comments
at the beginning of the member for additional documentation, since the
documentation of new datasets, variables, validation status, and notes,
are often found in comments in the source members.

====== CHANGES THRU 36.255 WERE IN MXG 36.36 DATED Jan 4, 2019=========
Change 36.255 T102S083 was incorrectly input to the report twice. One
ANALDB2R report line with the correct AUTH CHG type was printed,
Jan 4, 2019 a report line with type that is blank in PMAUD02 report.
Thanks to Henry Boone, GEICO, USA.
Change 36.254 Support for Fast Traversal Index adds these variables to
VMACDB2 DB2STATS dataset:
Jan 4, 2019 QISTTRAVMIN='FTB*THRESHOLD'
QISTFTBCANT='INDEXES*THAT*MEET*FTP CRITERIA'
QISTFTBCAN='INDEXES*THAT*MEET*TRAVERSE OK'
QISTFTBSIZE='TOTAL*MEMORY*ALLOCATION'
QISTINBNUMP='INDEXES*FTB*EXIST*PREVIOUS'
QISTINBNUMC='INDEXES*FTP*EXIST*CURRENT'
Thanks to Jan Tielemans, KBC, BELGIUM.
Change 36.253 MOBILE Service Units on CP (GP) and SP (zIIP) engines are
VMAC7072 in TYPE72GO and TYPE72TR datasets, in variables R723MSUCP
Jan 3, 2019 and R723MSUSP, but their CPU times were not created, and
May 28, 2019 the GP CPU time is NOT included in CPUTM. New variables
CPUMOBILECP and CPUMOBILESP are created, but the CP CPU
time is still not added into CPUTM at this time. Instead
CPUTM_ALL=SUM(CPUTM,CPUMOBILCP) is created so the values
can be examined and validated; if you have MOBILE work,
please contact support@mxg.com to discuss how this new
new data can be best presented.
May 28: See Change 37.120; CPUTM_ALL=CPUTM, text wrong.
Thanks to Kare Martin Torsvik, EVRY,
Change 36.252 -Cosmetic cleanup of blank variable labels and spellings:
Many VMACNDM: NDMOPSEQ
Jan 3, 2019 VMAC119: DM_LSVLANID,UC_LTEDATE GMTOFFTM
VMAC74 and VMAC79: DEVNR5HEX
VMAC78: IOPDSTX
VMAC89: SMF89NUM was changed to SMF89_NUM
VMACWSF: ACCSTAT, AUDOBJRN
VMACBETA: BETASSI
Thanks to Chris Weston, SAS ITRM, USA.
Change 36.251 Support for DB2 102 IFCID 126, but all fields are (S) for
VMAC102 "serviceability" with no descriptions, and a 4095 byte
Jan 3, 2019 field that is mixed binary and character, but no info.
The R1O is 41 and R1L is 4096 so 4137 bytes are described
and read, but records have 4448 bytes, 311 undocumented.
Thanks to Jan Tielemans, KBC, BELGIUM.
Change 36.250 New variables added to TYP11952 Subtype 52 dataset:
VMAC119 SMF119ML_IP_CONCOUNT=CONNECTION*COUNT'
Jan 3, 2019 SMF119ML_IP_CONFAILCOUNT=CONNECTION*FAILURE*COUNT'
SMF119ML_IP_RCVDBYTES='RECEIVED*BYTES'
SMF119ML_IP_SENTBYTES='SENT*BYTES'
SMF119ML_IP_ESMTP='ESMTP*SUPPORTED?'
Thanks to Randy Shumate, RELX Group, USA
Change 36.249 OBS=0 protection adds test of non-zero SYSCC Error code
VMXGSUM to confirms a prior SAS error had set OBS=0, which can
Jan 1, 2019 cause VMXGSUM to fail, depending on the arguments used,
so VMXGSUM can be gracefully stopped with MXGERRORs that
no dataset was output and to look on the log for ERROR
and correct it.
Change 36.248 CICS variables TASELGTM CPUTONTM CPUTONCN are added to
ASUMCICS the PDB.ASUMUOW dataset from CICSTRAN, and CICS variables
ASUMCICX TASELGTM TASZIPTM CPUTONTM CPUTONCN OFFLCPTM OFFLCPCN are
VMXGUOW added to PDB.CICS created from PDB.ASUMUOW by ASUMCICX,
Dec 31, 2018 or created from CICSTRAN.CICSTRAN by ASUMCICS, but read
the comments in ASUMCICS that suggest ASUMCICX is better.
Thanks to Scott Barry, SBBWorks Inc., USA.
Change 36.247 A utility program to create a copy of the DOCVER file
DOCVLONG with all info on a single line for each MXG variable. MXG
Dec 27, 2018 variable names can be the 32 character max SAS allows, so
DOCVER descriptions are split if the name is 9 or more.
This program creates 94-byte records for each variable.
Thanks to MP Welch, Bank of America, USA.
====== CHANGES THRU 36.246 ARE IN MXG 36.12 DATED Dec 25, 2018==========
Change 36.246 BETA 93 Version 6.2.0 updates for subtype 0/22/25/50/59.
VMACBETA Versions 4.x.x and earlier may not be supported, contact
Dec 21, 2018 MXG Support if you are still at that BETA93 level.
Contact Support if you have other 6.2.0 subtypes so they
can be validated and supported.
Thanks to Robert Gilbert, BNP Paribas Fortis, FRANCE.
Change 36.245 MXG 36.05-36.11, VMXGSUM fails if user option INCODE text
VMXGSUM exceeds 32756. Change 36.109 added detection of "BY" in
Dec 19, 2018 your VMXGSUM INCODE= argument, but 32K is the limit that
is permitted by the %INDEX function. Now, INCODE string
is compressed of blanks to mitigate that length issue and
the test for BY is only executed if resultant length is
LT 32755. MXGWARN messages are written to the log at 30K
length, suggesting the use of INCODE1= option if needed.
Note that the counts of INCODE length can be different
between z/OS and ASCII.
Thanks to Bill Davis, TransAmerica, USA.
Change 36.244 CICS Variable D2GDB2ID is added to the BY List for the
VMAC110 NODUP PROC SORT of dataset CICDB2GL, which may be needed
Dec 17, 2018 for NODUP protection.
Thanks to Giuseppe Giacomodonato, EPVTECH, ITALY.
Change 36.243 If you specified READONLY=YES (which suppresses the aging
VMXGALOC of old directories) and a directory did not exist, it was
Dec 15, 2018 created but not populated. This could cause dataset not
found errors but suppressing that creation could cause
LIBNAME statements to fail. Now, VMXGALOC detects all of
these conditions and only allocates the LIBNAMES that are
found and does not create new ones with READONLY=YES and
FIRSTRUN=NO.
Change 36.242 Using BLDSMPDB with AUTOALOC=YES does two things. First,
BLDSMPDB it allocates all of the directories needed to satisfy the
Dec 15, 2018 parameters you specified - 5 weeks, 1 month, 7 days, etc.
Then at the end of the daily processing it makes a 0 OBS
copy of all of the datasets contained in the PDB. But if
you ran (incorrectly) with FIRSTRUN=YES a second time,
all of those datasets were set to 0 OBS by this process
(intended to prevent DATASET NOT FOUND errors when
running a weekly or a monthly process). Now, with
FIRSTRUN=YES, it first looks to see if there are any
datasets in the libref and if there are any datasets
present, it's assumed you did not really mean it, it
prints a warning message, and bypasses the 0 OBS copy.
Change 36.241 -Variables CPC_CECNAME GEIIMDL GEIMODEL kept in several
ADOCRMFV more ZRBxxx datasets where they are likely to be useful.
ASMRMFV -The original MXG01 record written at CLOSE is now split
EXZRBAS2 into an MXG01 written at VSAM OPEN, so the CPC_CECNAME
IMACRMFV could be captured for all RMF III datasets (it's kept
VMACRMFV kept where it makes sense). and an MXG02 record written
Dec 18, 2018 at CLOSE with those statistics.
Dec 23, 2018 -Datasets ZRBAS1 and new ZRBAS2 decode the MXG01 and MXG02
records.
-ZRBASI variables ASITRT/ASITET are 1024 microsecond units
but weren't multiplied by 1024. ASIDCTIA_S is 128 usec
but wasn't multiplied by 128.
-New ASIPHTCP='ENCLAVE*ON*GP*TIME=ASIPHTMA-ASIPHTZI is
created to complete the CPU Schematic in ZRBASI:
<------------GP------------><----ZIIP---->
<--ASICPUTA--><--ASIPHTCP--><--ASIPHTZI-->
0.083 0.048 37.692
0.131
ASIPHTMA=37.740 ASITRT/ASITET=29.696
-In dataset ZRBLCPLPAR, the CPC Capacity report, the value
under MSU ACT is the variable ZRBLCPCPUMSUHR, but that is
the interval MSU extended to an hour by MSU*3600/DURATM
so it is NOT the 4HR MSU value.
-Incremental improvements and some fixes.
-Positioning for a future new filtering feature.
-FROMTIME= and TOTIME= now support optional seconds for
time values in ASMRMFV. The time format used depends on
the number of digits coded as follows:
# Digits Time Result
-------- ----------------------------
0 RMFV057I NULL VALUE message
1 000M00
2 00MM00
3 0HMM00
4 HHMM00
5 0HMMSS
6 HHMMSS
> 6 RMFV004E ERROR message
Example Full Equivalent Time
--------------- --------------- --------
FROMTIME=1 FROMTIME=000100 00:01:00
FROMTIME=12 FROMTIME=001200 00:12:00
FROMTIME=123 FROMTIME=012300 01:23:00
FROMTIME=1234 FROMTIME=123400 12:34:00
FROMTIME=12345 FROMTIME=012345 01:23:45
FROMTIME=123456 FROMTIME=123456 12:34:56
-Seconds are NOT supported in Relative Time values such as
FROMTIME=*-nnS because this time offset unit from the
current time is too small to be of practical use when
building a PDB. The minimum Relative Time is 1 minute.
-Origin message RMFV009I for each RMF III data set
processed will now include the CPCNAME (aka CECNAME) for
z/OS Release 3.3 and up. If the LPAR is running under
z/VM then the CPCNAME will display as VMGUEST. For lower
z/OS releases the CPCNAME shows as N/A as RMF III does
not track this information at lower levels.
-New information only message RMFV057I KEYWORD VALUE IS
NULL issued when an ASMRMFV keyword has no value
assigned. For example, FROMDATE= . Before this change
the keyword would be ignored with no user notice.
-Warning message RMFV085W is now issued when a filter or
or parameter requires a specific RMF III table, but the
table has not been selected.
Avoid this message by specifying all desired RMF III
tables first before any other parameters that need them.
For example, ASIJOBNAME=MYJOB11 requires the ASI table.
-Improved display format when a single character error is
detected showing both EBCDIC and hexadecimal values for
the character.
-Initialization message RMFV001I now shows the size in
bytes of the step level program used to invoke ASMRMFV
(usually ASMRMFV itself).
-New message RMFV091I is issued when the IBM modules
ERBR3DEC (RMF III Decompression) or IGGCSI00 (Catalog
Search Interface) are loaded into the user region.
Warning message RMFV091W is issued if the module cannot
be identified as an IBM module. In this case this could
be a duplicate naming problem with a third party product.
-MXG table MXG01 has been split into two tables for each
RMF III data set processed. MXG01 contains VSAM data set
Open statistics and MXG02 contains VSAM data set Close
Statistics. These both appear in the ASMRMFV log in
Detail and Summary reports.
-Former message RMFV075W is now message RMFV090W.
RMFV075* is now used for table id mismatch errors.
ASMRMFV errors corrected:
-Error message RMFV005E could be incorrect when more than
one ASMRMFV parameter appeared in one SYSIN record.
-Messages RMFV012I and RMFV013I could show incorrect GMT
offset values for the last sample range and last selected
times.
-Space message RMFV031I always showed an EF (Extended
Function) VSAM type even for non-EF VSAM data sets.
-Message RMFV035* showed an incorrect reason in ASMRMFV
Summary report when an SPG table Internal Error was
detected.
-Except for the DSIG3 table any RMF III table id mismatch
errors now result in an Abend U0998 Reason Code 2. A
table id mismatch is a serious non-recoverable data
error. A DSIG3 error can be recovered by processing the
next RMF III data set but is still very undesirable.
-Each ASMRMFV parameter now has a PLACEMENT section in
documentation to explain where in the input stream it
should appear.
-Numerous documentation updates in:
Section 4 "RMF III Table Selection Parameters"
Section 5 "Input Data Selection Parameters"
Section 6 "Report Control Parameters"
Section 7 "Output Data Control Parameters"
Section 8 "Error Handling Parameters"
Section 12 "Messages"
Section 26 "ASMRMFV and MXG PDB Data Relationships"
Change 36.240 Support for MegaCryption new MEGACR34 dataset with new
EXMGCR34 subtype 3 and 4 replacing old records but keeping all of
IMACMGCR the original fields and adding these new variables:
VMACMGCR MGCRFUNC='FUNCTION*E ENCRYPT*D DECRYPT ?'

MGCRVOL1='INPUT*VOLSER'
MGCRSTY1='INPUT*FILE*TYPE'
MGCRDSN2='OUTPUT*DSN'
MGCRVOL2='OUTPUT*VOLSER'
MGCRSTY2='OUTPUT*FILE*TYPE'
Thanks to Jennifer D. Ayers, West Virginia State Goverment, USA.
Change 36.239 Enhanced to display all used parameters, only on the
VMXG2DTE first execution in a SAS session. On subsequent execute
Dec 7, 2018 DDIN DDOUT PDB DATASET and INITIT are displayed only if
Dec 23, 2018 they are different and others only if present.
Thanks to Tom MacCabe, Dominion Energy, USA
Change 36.238 IMS 14.1 IMS56FA INPUT EXCEEDED RECORD ABEND due to an
VMACIMS invalid offset value of 2500 in DLRRXTOF/TPCEXTOF in a
Dec 7, 2018 record that has only 572 bytes. Previous 14.1 56FA data
Dec 23, 2018 didn't populate that offset to that new TPCX segment, but
the 64-byte segment was present but not input. Since the
segment contains nothing of value, rather than protecting
for an invalid offset, the code for the TPCX segment is
bypassed awaiting data from a site that wants the TPCX
data. This is not worth a PMR at this time.
-You can use this logic in your IMS job's SYSIN safely
since this segment is at the end of the IMS LOG record:
//SYSIN DD *
MACRO STOPOVER MISSOVER %
%INCLUDE SOURCLIB(TYPSIMST);
but you should remove that MACRO statement when you
update MXG.
-New message if 56FA record IMSVERSN value is not equal to
your site's _IMSVERS old-style macro value that you set
in the job's SYSIN - see TYPEIMST/TYPSIMST JCL examples.

====== CHANGES THRU 36.236 ARE IN MXG 36.11 DATED Dec 3, 2018==========
Change 36.236 Support for ASG-TMON CICS for z/OS V4.2, is there now, as
TYPETMO2 there were no changes to the performance records.
Nov 28, 2018
Change 36.235 Support for IBM CICS SMF 110 CICS/TS 5.5 INCOMPATIBLE,
VMAC110 as is ALWAYS the case for CICS because they insert
UTILEXCL fields in existing records. You can use the VMAC110
Nov 30, 2018 with this Change (36.235), if you have records, with no
excluded fields and no optional segments, but if you
have either (the existence of a tailored IMACEXCL member
in your "USERID.SOURCLIB" tailoring proves you do), you
will need to use UTILEXCL from this Change to create a
new IMACEXCL that knows about these new variables that
were INSERTED in Subtype 1 records:
NJSAPPNM='NODE.NJS.APPPLICATION*NAME'
SOCONMSG='FIRST*MESSAGE*PROCESSED'
WBURIOTM='URI*WEBB OPEN*WAIT*TIME'
WBURIOCN='URI*WEBB OPEN*WAIT*COUNT'
WBURIRTM='URI*WEBB RECV*WAIT*TIME'
WBURIRCN='URI*WEBB RECV*WAIT*COUNT'
WBURISTM='URI*WEBB SEND*WAIT*TIME'
WBIRISCN='URI*WEBB SEND*WAIT*COUNT'
WBURVITM='URI*INVOKE*SERVICE*WAIT*TIME'
WBURVICN='URI*IINVOKE*SERVICE*WAIT*COUNT'
Yes, you need MXG 36.11 for CICS/TS 5.5 because fields were
inserted into SMF 110 CICSTRAN records and using old MXG will
have trashed values due to the misalignment, but MXG could run
and only print error messages, which might be false positives,
or could execute with no errors nor log messages, especially if
you have a tailored IMACEXCL, but your CICSTRAN dataset will
still be invalid.
Change 36.234 Support for BMC's MainView for CICS(v69) with support for
VMACMVCI CICS/TS 5.5 COMPATIBLY added these variables to DMRDETL:
Nov 30, 2018 T6E72XCT='72 EXTENSIONS'
T6ESOCNM='FIRST*MSG*PROCESSED'
T6EUROPT='URI*WEB OPEN*WAIT TIME'
T6EUROPF='URI*WEB OPEN*WAIT FLAG'
T6EUROPC='URI*WEB OPEN*WAIT COUNT'
T6EURRPT='URI*WEB RECV*WAIT TIME'
T6EURRPF='URI*WEB RECV*WAIT FLAG'
T6EURRPC='URI*WEB RECV*WAIT COUNT'
T6EURSPT='URI*WEB SEND*WAIT TIME'
T6EURSPF='URI*WEB SEND*WAIT FLAG'
T6EURSPC='URI*WEB SEND*WAIT COUNT'
T6EWSIVT='URI*INVOKE*SERVICE**WAIT TIME'
T6EWSIVF='URI*INVOKE*SERVICE**WAIT FLAG'
T6EWSIVC='URI*INVOKE*SERVICE**WAIT COUNT'
T6ENJAPN='NODE.JS*APPLICATION*NAME'
Change 36.233 Change 36.211 changed the KB definition to 1000 based on
VMAC74 an IBM document that is now confirmed as misleading and
Nov 27, 2018 the multiplier of 1024 is restored for these variables:
R7491BPC R7491BPS R749DCTBYTR R749FPGBYTR
R749FPGBYTS R749FPGCOBS R749FPGDCBS R749ICTBYTR
R749PCIBYTR R749PCIBYTT R749PCIDMAR R749PCIDMAW
-APAR OA55984 corrects high zEDC execution time and SSQ
values when a time stamp wrapped.
Change 36.232 The SMF 99 Subtype 14 Processor Topology Report provided
ANAL9914 by RAY back in Change 33.139 has a new version by Jim
Nov 29, 2018 and the report program is now a %MACRO ANAL9914 so you
can select CECTYPE and SYSTEM and REPORT with
%ANAL9914(CECTYPE=Z14,SYSTEM=SYS1 SYS2,REPORT=JIM);
REPORT=JIM uses PROC SGPANEL (SAS only) for prettiness!
Thanks to Jim S. Horne, Lowe's Companies, USA.
Thanks to Raymond J. Smith, OPTUM, USA.
Change 36.231 Truncated POEX record caused INPUT STATEMENT EXCEEDED now
VMACPOEX the short record is detected and reported on the log. the
Nov 26, 2018 record had POEXNUM=35 File Segments expected, but the
record only had room for 15.
Thanks to Jack Hyde, UHC, USA.
Change 36.230 -SMF 119 ZERT subtype 12 dataset TYP11912IPOSEC was out of
VMAC119 alignment for these last 4 variables: ENCAPMODE/AUTHPROTO
Nov 26, 2018 were incorrectly input as $CHAR2.
S119SS_IPS_ENCAPMODE S119SS_IPS_AUTHPROTO
S119SS_IPS_AUTHALG S119SS_IPS_ENCALG
-MXG ZERT subtype 11 dataset TYP11911's GMTOFFTM create is
valid with current records, but 2017 records had missing
values that caused incorrect values, because SAETIME was
often missing and on a different time zone.
Thanks to Luis Mendoza, Black Knight, USA
====== CHANGES THRU 36.229 ARE IN MXG 36.10 DATED Nov 21, 2018==========
Change 36.229 If you specified a dataset name in ASCII and did not
UTILBLDP change the value of ECHO= to NO, a syntax error was
Nov 21, 2018 generated when the created code was read back in to be
displayed. If you used a filename (preferred) there was
no error.
Thanks to Giuseppe Giacomodonato, EPVTECH, ITALY.
Change 36.228 The MXGWARN:MISSING TYPE70/TYPE70PR could be printed for
VMAC7072 ICF-only LPARs, because MXGCIN was set to 'VM' in very
VMXG70PR old logic, prior to SMF70CIN being provided by IBM.
Nov 29, 2018 Now, MXGCIN is always set to SMF70CIN in VMAC7072, and
the ICF LPARs with SMF70STN non-blank are skipped in
VMXG70PR.
Thanks to Scott Barry, SBBWorks Inc., USA.
Change 36.227 New IHDRCTLT "Header" Exit created for record selection,
IHDRCTLT and macro variable &MACCTTH created for instream use.
VMACCTLT Missing value messages for dates eliminated.

Change 36.224 Documentation only. Examples added to select specific
UTILBLDP subtypes of records to be added to PDB, Example 2 was.
Nov 16, 2018 missing quotes.
Change 36.223 -PMACC02 could generate an UNITIALIZED variable message
ANALDB2R for PACKTYPE.
Nov 19, 2018 -Variable QB3TDIO was misspelled in PMSTA02 causing
another unitialized message.
Change 36.222 Numerous STC formats were updated with new values for
FORMATS HSC 7.3. Calculation of MSZ with CTP test, and new
VMACSTC $MGSTCRR format added, so please update FORMATS.
Nov 21, 2018
Thanks to Randy Hewitt, HPE, USA.
Change 36.221 MONWRITE defect, LCUPPNUM was NOT changed and an interval
VMACVMXA was skipped when the number of IFL engines was changed
Nov 15, 2018 from 5 to 3. MXG's attempt to detect wrap was invoked
causing large values in LCUCACTM LCUCLPTM LCXCMTIT.
The logic was revised to detect and delete the defective
interval in VXSYTCUP. A PRM will be raised with IBM.
Thanks to Giuseppe Giacomodonato, EPVTECH, ITALY.
Change 36.220 -Variable WTOTIOTM could exceed ELAPSTM because WTWEIOTM,
UTILEXCL is included in RMISIOTM, and -SUM(WTDISPTM,WTSYIOTM);
VMAC110 are overlapped with the sum of all of the other waits.
Nov 20, 2018 -The WTOTIOTM created in UTILEXCL (when you have EXCLUDED
fields) did not include these wait variables:
DSAPTHTM DSCHMDTM DSMMSCTM DSTCBMTM FCVSWTTM
GNQDELTM ISALWTTM JVMSUSTM MAXJTDTM MAXOTDTM
MAXSTDTM MAXXTDTM PTPWAITM RQPWAITM RQRWAITM

Thanks to Michael R. Novak, USPS, USA.
Change 36.218 Support for APARs OA52915 and OA52950 for SMF 21 counts
VMAC21 to use the 4-byte 3590 counters instead of the original
Nov 13, 2018 3-byte 3490 counters is already in place since the 4-byte
counters were added. A minor non-impacting change to
the test that sets the 3-byte counters with FFFFFFx to a
missing value was made.
Change 36.218 Reserved Change Number.
Change 36.217 -Support for new subtype 6 BETA97 record, which creates
FORMATS two new datasets:
EXTYB976 DDDDDD Dataset Description
EXTYB97S TYB976 BETA9706 BETA97 ST 06
IMACBE97 TYB97S BETA9706D BETA97 ST 06 DATASET
VMACBE97 -Support for the Relocate data in subtype 22 BETA972REL
VMXGINIT now decodes the expiration date fields to SAS dates and
Nov 9, 2018 the B97RELTY values are decoded..
Thanks to Andreas Menne, Finanz Informatik, GERMANY.
Change 36.216 -ASMRMFV IDERR subroutine upgraded to display MINTIME
ASMRMFV interval when a RMF III table id mismatch occurs as
Nov 8, 2018 RMFV075E messages.
-Extraneous ')' in message RMFV008I when processing a GDG
for RMFBSAM.
-NOSHOWZERO option not showing any table detail lines
except for MXG00.
Thanks to Randall Schleuter, First Data Corporation
Change 36.215 Variable MSUSOFT, the interval Software MSU in TYPE72GO
VMAC7072 for each Service/Reporting Class, can often be a missing
Nov 7, 2018 value due to incorrect logic used to populate the
CECSUSYSTEM and CECSUVALUE arrays from the preceding type
70 to provide SMF70CPA for the MSU calculation. If there
is no preceding 70 from this system, "new" variable
R723CPA is used so MSUSOFT will always be populated. And,
if it is really the 4 Hour Average value you want, member
ASUM4HRS will create that value for any variable in any
dataset!
Thanks to Thomas Heitlinger, FIDUCIAGAD, GERMANY.
Change 36.214 If OPTIONS OBS=0 has been set by SAS due to an error,
VMXGSUM VMXGSUM produced unclear messages and zero obs created.
Nov 7, 2018 Now, OBS=0 is detected and VMXGSUM shut down with error
message that is clear.
Thanks to Glen Bowman, Wakefern, USA.
Change 36.213 Cosmetic. Non-impacting NOTE: _UN98309 UNINITIALIZED is
VMAC110 removed.
Nov 7, 2018
Change 36.212 Protect for DB2 Trace IFCID 376 invalid offset STOPOVER.
VMAC102 One record with two offsets (SC_OFF and SQL_OFF) that
Nov 6, 2018 were larger than the record LENGTH caused the error.
Offset lengths are now compared to LENGTH and if larger,
log messages are printed.
QW0376SC_OFF=48392 LENGTH=5210 IFCID376 SC ERROR
QW0376SQL_OFF=27283 LENGTH=5210 IFCID 376 SQL ERROR
These offsets, added in DB2 V11, are after VERSION but
Version Length is ZERO in all records, and the first
eight bytes of VERSION are nulls, so possibly the
offsets are in those first eight bytes, so I've added
variable VERSION1ST to display their value.
A PMR will be raised with IBM DB2 Support.
Thanks to Glen Bowman, Wakefern, USA.
Change 36.211 -These AVG and STD values were not created in TYPE749:

with PCIE Function Activity overview calculations show
that the "MegaBytes" and "KiloBytes" are 1000 and not the
1024 per KiloByte that IBM uses in other 74 subtypes, so
the 1024s in subtype 9 code are changed to 1000.
-Nov 28: Change 36.233 reverted back to 1024 as IBM has
confirmed the KB are 1024 and not 1000.
-R749FPGBPRT is now the in-use buffer percent of memory.
-R749BPC is relabeled AVERAGE*IN-USE*BUFFER*SIZE in bytes.
-R749PCIUTIL was incorrectly calculated.

not actually using above the bar buffers, which happens
if RLSABOVETHEBARMAXPOOLSIZE is not set or if the change
was made and the data set hasn't gone through a CLOSE to
refresh the information. LOCAL FIX: Ensure data sets
assigned to data class with above the bar usage are
using above the bar buffers.
-APAR OA56000 SMF RECORD LENGTH FOR SMF TYPE 98 HFTS
RECORDS EXCEEDS THE MAX ALLOWABLE X'7FF4' (32,756).
Subtype 1 are defined as x'8000' (32,768) and these

Vary the first device on all SuperPAV XPAV Control
Units online.
-APAR OA55292 RMF FICON DIRECTOR STATISTICS REPORT HAS AN
OCCASIONAL VERY LARGE VALUE FOR A PORT BANDWIDTH, READ
OR WRITE. APAR IS OPEN.
Change 36.208 Support for APAR OA56011 which added these two variables

VMXGSUM VGETOBS cannot reasonably detect the presence or absence
Oct 28, 2018 of datasets and have always tried to process them but if
DSNFERR was on failed with a dataset not found error.
But, if DSNFERR was set to NODSNFERR it then tried to
process and if the dataset did not exist could generate
UNINITIALIZED variable messages and a 0 OBS output. Now
if VGETOBS detects a sequential LIBNAME and NODSNFERR
MXGNOTEs are produced to let you know what may happen.
Change 36.205 -IBM updated the RMF III SVP table and altered the Service
ASMRMFV Class, Report Class, and Resource Group Information
Oct 26, 2018 Sections.
-The SVP version level was raised from X'03' to X'04.
-Either or both version levels may exist in z/OS 2.3
systems depending on the software currency of z/OS.
-ASMRMFV has been changed to input these Sections using
actual rather than documented lengths.
-The SVP, ASI, ENC, and RCD RMF III tables are all
affected when the SVP version level is X'04'.
-MXG Changes 36.191 and 36.201 support new MXG variables
for the new data in the VMACRMFV member.
-ZEROCPU and ZERODVT parameters were not recognized due
to a length specification error in the parameter table.

Change 36.203 CPU report with INTERVAL=HOUR actually was produced at
ANALRMFR number of CPUs*intervals so a CEC with 4 CPUs on a 15
Oct 26, 2018 minute interval showed up with 4 hour intervals. DURATM
is now set to the INTERVAL= specified.
Change 36.202 Used primarily inside of other macros to detect the
VGETOBS existence and other information about SAS datasets. But,
Oct 25, 2018 if you happened to pass incomplete text, like .ASUMCELP
(where it should have been DDNAME.ASUMCELP) you could get
strange errors and an ABEND, due to the period. Now, both
sides are validated, or if only one is, WORK is used as
the DDNAME with the DATASET to become WORK.ASUMCELP.
Change 36.201 -MXG 36.09, z/OS 2.2, only, text classification variables
VMACRMFV (ASICNM ASISCWN AISCRN ASIRNM ASIWNM) in dataset ZRBASI
Oct 26, 2018 could be misaligned. Introduced in Change 36.196.
-Some WPS 4.0 iterations failed with

Change 36.198 z/VM VXBYUSR High CPU, MRHDRTOD isn't the same second any
VMACVMXA more in VXUSEACT and VXUSEINT datasets, which caused that
Oct 22, 2018 merge to create multiple obs, which caused deaccumulated
VMDTTIME/VMDVTIME to be very large for those intervals.
MXG used MRHDRTOD=FLOOR(MRHRTOD); to truncate to whole
seconds for the merge, as the value was always :00, but
now, the start of the write of the USER records is often
near the end of the 00: second (e.g. 0.999919 microsec)
and the write extends into the :01 second, and sometime
the ACT record is at :00 and INT is at :01, mismatched.
Now, MRHDRTOD=FLOOR(MRHDRTOD)-MOD(FLOOR(MRHDRTOD),10);
is used to force the minute intervals to always be :00 in
the PDB.VXBYUSE MONWRITE dataset.
The MRHDRTOD one minute interval datetime value that is
used to merge VXUSEACT and VXUSEINT datasets to create
VXBYUSR previously happened to always be on the same
second, so using MRHDRTOD=FLOOR(MRHDRTOD) to truncate
that microsecond value to seconds, the merge matched
observations correctly.
However, the newer data shows that there can be a pair of
records with the USEACT record at :00 seconds and the
paired USEINT record at :01 seconds, causing that merge
pair to create multiple observations.
What has happened? The older data shows the start of the
write of the USEACT/USEINT pairs began at 0.885 seconds
after the pop and the write completed after writing all
of them in 478 microsec, in that one second, but the
newer data shows the write didn't start until 0.999 secs
and the 406 microseconds write time ended in the next
second causing ACT at :00 and INT at :01. Some of the
new values don't even start write until the :01 second.
Sept Data:
03:36:30.885294 Minute 36 Second 30 First USEACT

03:36:30.885299 Minute 36 Second 30 Paired USEINT

2 microseconds
03:36:30.885772 Minute 36 Second 30 Paired USEINT
==> 78 pair written in 478 microseconds for Minute 36.
But new data has pairs with different seconds values:

09:36:00.999922 Minute 36 Second 00 Paired USEINT

Change 36.194 Yet another invalid LENSR value TYPE42 Subtype 5 ABEND,
VMAC42 value LENSR=376 added to Change 36.124.
Oct 15, 2018
Change 36.193 Estimated bytes after IDRC compression added to TMS as
TYPETMS5 TAPEBYTC and to DSNBRECD as DSNBYTEC. Just like the
Oct 11, 2018 TAPEBYTE and DSNBYTE variables (estimates based on
BLKSIZE*BLKCNT) these are best guess estimates.
Change 36.192 Support for IMS Version 15 (COMPATIBLE) dataset IMS56FA.
VMACIMS New string TPCPTHRSESSN contains the pair of TPCPTHRS and
Oct 11, 2018 TPCPESSN for up to six External Subsystems, TPCXLEN has
the length of the TPCX, still 60 reserved bytes.

that are added to TYPE30_4/TYPE30_5/TYPE30_6/TYPE30_V
and PDB.STEPS for BUILDPDB (JES2) and BUILDPD3 (JES3).
(Variable RAXFLAGS was added in MXG 35.09.)

Change 36.183 -Power Exchange USER SMF record STOPOVER if the File Name
VMACPOEX had zero length. Invalid record detected and printed on
Oct 3, 2018 log and skipped, while vendor investigates.
Oct 18, 2018 -Invalid new triplet record with no SECT segment deleted,
Nov 20, 2018 and a record with truncated General Section is deleted.
-The GMT offset depends on POEXENDT; if it's missing the
offset can't be calculated. Pending a vendor correction,
MXG Retains the GMTOFFEX and uses that value instead,
which could cause missing values for STRT/ENDT.
Nov 20: The Informatica fix number for this problem is

Change 36.182 MXG 36.07-36.08. Possible syntax error in a SYSFUNC due
MONTHBLD to Change 36.145, which changed a QCMPRES to a SYSFUNC
MONTHBL3 (changed only to protect possible user typing errors)
MONTHBL3 but should have used QSYSFUNC, because SYSFUNC saw the
MONTHDSK commas as operands and failed. The member from 36.06 all
MONTHASC the way to 32.05 can be used. Fortunately, MONTHBLD is
PRODTEST normally tailored into the "USERID.SOURCLIB" so the ERROR
PRODTESW only impacts new users of the MONTHPDB in 36.07-36.08.
Oct 3, 2018 -Dec 31: MONTHBL3 was missing a semicolon, found in QA.
Dec 31, 2018

Change 36.180 -UTILBLDP with RMFINTRV=NO and BUILDPDB=YES did not create
UTILBLDP PDB.TYPE70 nor the other PDB.TYPE7x datasets. The "NO"
Oct 4, 2018 should have suppressed only the %INCLUDE of RMFINTRV in
MACRO _INTRMF, but it also suppressed the seven _S7xxxxx
data set sort macros. RMFINTRV=YES is automatic with
BUILDPDB=YES, and now RMFINTRV=NO and BUILDPDB=YES will
create the 70s but not create PDB.RMFINTRV. If you want
to build PDB.RMFINTRV and the ASUM70PR datasets from only
the 70 and 72 SMF records, see EXAMPLE 3A/3B in UTILBLDP.

Change 36.175 Support for SMF 30 User Key CSA Audit Enhancements adds
VMAC30 new SMF30_RAXFLAGS to TYPE30_1, TYPE30_V, TYPE30_4 and
Sep 28, 2018 the TYPE30_5 datasets. Change 35.212 (MXG 35.09+) Sep
Feb 28, 2018 2017 made the code change but the change text was still
Sep 20, 2018 a "Reserved Change" until Feb 28, 2018, but had the old
35.212 Change Number, so it was only in CHANGESS member.
The IBM Record Change was made by APAR OA53355, but will
only be needed thru z/OS 2.3, as User Key Common Storage
usage support ends there.
This is Health Check ZOSMIGV22R3_NEXT_VSM_USERKEYCOMM.
These APARs required no additional code changes:
OA53434 Corrects IBM macros SMF30RPS,SMF30SDS lengths
not field lengths so it has no impact on MXG.
OA53289 Corrects value of SMF30HVR from zero to valid.
OA45767 APAR that added the extra triplet caused OA53434
See Change 36.188 which added new bit-level variables.
Change 36.174 Support for Auto Soft Capping (ZCOS) Version 4.2 added
VMACZCOS these variables, INCOMPATIBLY, due to a new field that

NORM contains all except 0Cx 10 11 12 13 14 15
and contains C0 C1 C2 C4 CC CD CE CF D0 D1 D2 D3 D4.
-RTIN 18 appears both in LONG (1) and NORM (0), so the

====== CHANGES THRU 36.170 ARE IN MXG 36.08 DATED SEP 10, 2018==========
Change 36.170 For sites with 8-byte values for SMF70STN or SYSNAME or
SAGANAL with 4-byte values that don't match SYSTEM, or MXGWARNs
Sep 9, 2018 about TYPE70 or TYPE70PR data missing, you will need to
Nov 11, 2018 use the output of this PROC FREQ report
PROC FREQ DATA=PDB.TYPE70PR (WHERE=(SMF70STN=SYSNAME));
TABLES SYSNAME*SMF70STN/NOROW NOCOL NOCUM NOPCT;
to update the new SELSTN macro variable to set the SYSTEM
from the corresponding SMF70STN value:
%LET SELSTN=

ELSE PUTLOG _N_= _I_= STN(_I_)= SYSTEM=;
);
Thanks to Henry Jenkins, South Carolina State Government, USA.
Change 36.169 Change 36.077 checked for the word BY in the first 2
VMXGSUM bytes of INCODE but there is no reason the BY would have
Sep 8, 2018 to be in the first two bytes, so logic was revised to
find any " BY " text in the INCODE. If the first text
in the INCODE= was a %INCLUDE, it failed because the
percent sign needed to be protected with %SUPERQ().
Change 36.168 Dataset BVIR20 variables MAX/AVE AHCT/BHCT were incorrect
VMACBVIR as the +46 after DEVINTDL is their input location and
Sep 8, 2018 removed.
Thanks to Scott Barry, SBBWorks Inc., USA.
Change 36.167 Support for BMC Energizer for IMS Connect which populates
VMACCIMS TRNOTxxx variables in CIMSTRAN dataset, but TRNOTCON was
Sep 7, 2018 not converted to local, and new CONNECT*SERVICE*DURATION
in new CONNECTM variable.
Thanks to Randy Hewitt, DXC, USA.
CRITICAL ERROR: PDB.TYPE70 MAY BE WRONG WITH 33+ TOTAL ENGINES.
NO IMPACT TO PDB.TYPE70PR,ASUMCELP/ASUMCEC/ASUM70PR/ASUM70LP.
Change 36.166 Dataset PDB.TYPE70 skips LCPUADDR/CPUID 64 and higher and
VMAC7072 does NOT include any of those engine's CPU time, UP time,
Sep 9, 2018 nor NRCPUS count, causing CPUACTTM for CPs to be less
than the CPUTM in TYPE72GO Service Classes, which causes
log messages NEGATIVE UNCAPTURED CPU TIME in RMFINTRV.
-This error can occur with as few as 33 total engines; as
in this case, with 13 CPs and 19 zIIPs, IBM skipped every
other LCPUADDR so the last ZIP was '3F'x, and when a 14th
CP was added, it became '40'X and exposed the MXG error.
-ONLY PDB.TYPE70/PDB.RMFINTRV are impacted; PDB.TYPE70PR
and PDB.ASUMCELP/ASUMCEC/ASUM70PR/ASUM70LP datasets that
are created from TYPE70PR capture all engines' data.
-This MXG error was introduced in 2013 in 31.04 support
for 255 engines; previously separate variables for every
engine, 0 thru 63 were created and kept; but new dataset
TYPE70EN was created with all engines details so new vars
were not needed to be kept, but they were still created
for the summary into TYPE70, but the old logic to update
the IFATYPE array still stopped at engine 63.
You can use this program to read your PDB.TYPE70PR data
to see if you are exposed, and the CPU TIME lost, if any:
DATA CPUMISSED;
SET PDB.TYPE70PR;
IF LCPUPDTM GT 0 AND SMF70CIN IN ('CP' 'IIP');
KEEP SMF70CIN SYSTEM LCPUPDTM RANGE;
IF LCPUADDR LT 64 THEN RANGE='INCLUDED-LT 64 ';
IF LCPUADDR GE 64 THEN RANGE='NOT INCLUDED-GT 64';
PROC FREQ;
TABLES SMF70CIN*RANGE*SYSTEM/NOCOL NOCUM NOROW;
WEIGHT LCPUPDTM;
TITLE LOST/INCLUDED PDB.TYPE70 CPU TIMES HIGH LCPUADDR;
to see how much CPU was included or lost in PDB.TYPE70.
-Normally, CPs LCPUADDR start at zero, followed by zips,
so the impact is more likely for zip metrics, but when
CPs are added dynamically, they get the next LCPUADDR.
Only PDB.TYPE70 and PDB.RMFINTRV datasets are impacted.
and only resources summed from individual engines; the
4HR Average MSU SMF70LAC and similar "interval variables"
are not impacted by this error.
Neither the PDB.TYPE70PR nor the four ASUM70PR datasets
PDB.ASUMCELP,ASUMCEC,ASUM70PR,ASUM70LP are impacted.
Thanks to Jim S. Horne, Lowe's Companies, USA.

Aug 30, 2018
Change 36.163 IMS56FA observations for CPI-C PROGTYPHX='10'X do not
VMACIMS have an ARRVTIME so their INPQUETM can't be known, but
Sep 7, 2018 MXG incorrectly calculated wrong values. Now INPQUETM
is missing when ARRVTIME is unknown.
Change 36.162 Variable SYSTEM does not exist in IMS Log Records but MXG
IHDRIMS can set it from SYSPARM() on the // EXEC JCL statement,
VMACIMS but that applies to the entire IMS log that was read.
VMXGINIT Now, to process multiple IMS system's logs in one job,
Aug 28, 2018 JFCB=IMSJFCB is added so the DSNAME in the first 44 bytes
can be used in tailoring member IHDRIMS or instream use
%LET MACIMSH= in your SYSIN to set the variable SYSTEM.
For example, if the second node in your DSNAME is SYSTEM,
%LET MACIMSH= %QUOTE( SYSTEM=SCAN(IMSJFCB,2,'.'); );
will populate variable SYSTEM with that value.
-Variable PROGTYPE='C' is now set for PROGTYHX='10'X.
Thanks to Giuseppe Giacomodonato, EPVTECH, ITALY.
Change 36.161 If OUT70GL=WORK.xxxxxxxx, ASUM70PR program failed with
VMXG70PR DATASET PDB.ASUM70GL NOT FOUND because the _LSU70GL
Aug 28, 2018 token instead of macro variable &OUT70GL was used.
Thanks to Jutta Gleixner-Schmid, Allianz, GERMANY.
Change 36.160 MXG 36.07 only. Debugging PUTLOG statements that filled
VMACCIMS the log were disabled.
Aug 27, 2018
Thanks to Andreas Menne, Finanz Informatik, GERMANY.
Change 36.159 DB2STAT2 field QDBPFRAM, Frame Size, in SMF is $EBCDIC2
VMACDB2 with text values of 4K, 1M, 2G, but MXG input QDBPFRAM
Aug 27, 2018 as PIB2 numeric causing wrong values (62151 for 2G).
New QDBPFRAMCH character variable has the 4K/1M/2G text,
and QDBPFRAM remains numeric now with the correct bytes
(for calculations), printing 4K, 1024K, 2048M with the
MGBYTES format.
Thanks to Lori A. Masulis, FMR, USA
Change 36.158 Support for APARs OA55574/OA55609/OA55610 adds new
VMACDCOL variables in dataset DCOLDSET:
Aug 25, 2018 DCDCMPTV='COMPRESSION*TYPE*VALID'?
DCDCTYPE='COMPRESSION*TYPE'
See Change 37.064 for revised change. ICN 1650.
Change 36.157 -Variable FCVSWTTM in CICSTRAN was incorrect, containing
VMAC110 the same value in FCXCWTTM.
Aug 26, 2018 -Variable SMFPSSPN, the Specific APPLID is now kept in the
CICSTRAN dataset.
Thanks to Giuseppe Giacomodonato, EPVTECH, ITALY.
Change 36.156 While these ODS members do work within the limitations of
VMXGODSO their programming, ODS is evolving so quickly and there
VMXGODSC are so many permutations and combinations that they are
TECHNOTE no longer a practical answer for most applications.
Aug 23, 2018 Some MXG GRAFxxxx and ANAL members have ODS parameters,
but you may find it preferable to wrap many reports in a
single ODS package. For example, to run GRAFWRKX+GRAFCEC
and send the results to a single ODS PDF file, use:
ODS LISTING CLOSE; /* always needed on zOS */
OPTIONS ORIENTATION=LANDSCAPE;
ODS GRAPHICS/ WIDTH=10IN HEIGHT=7.5IN;
ODS PDF FILE='D:/MYPDF.PDF' STYLE=MXGSTYLE1;
%GRAFWRKX;
%GRAFCEC;
RUN;
ODS PDF CLOSE;
RUN;
-MXGSTYLE1 was used here because the default style used by
ODS results in bars of solid colors so close together it
can be difficult to tell one bit of the bar from another.
MXGSYLE1 uses brighter colors and patterns to make it
simpler to tell who is on first. MXGSTYLE1 is created
and stored in the FORMATS library by the FORMATS member.
STYLE is just one of many ODS options you may wish to
use which is what makes VMXGODSO/VMXGODSC obsolete.
-Pasted directly from the SAS site to create CSV file:
ods html close;
options obs=15;
ods csvall body='procprintcsvall.csv';
ods markup tagset=chtml body='procprintchtml.html'
(title= 'This Text Identifies Your Content.');
title 'Leading Grain-Producing Countries';
proc print data=grain_production;

IMACVMXA APLLXP VXAPLLXP LNXAPPL PROCESS DATA
VMACVMXA -The VXAPLLXP process dataset only outputs a process that
VMXGINIT had non-zero TOTAL_TIME or CTOTAL_TIME; if you want all
Aug 25, 2018 process records to be output, edit member EOAPLLXP into
Sep 13, 2018 your tailoring library and remove the conditional test.
-SAMPTIME and UPTIME are not valid values, investigating.
-Crypto Type 12:CEX6C is now recognized and output in the
VXPRCAPM dataset.
-Dataset VXPRCMFC is now populated for z14, CSVN=5.

Change 36.153 New parameter added that can be used to reverse the
GRAFWLM order of data on the charts produced. GRAFWLM has
GRAFWRKX always produced bar charts with the most important
Aug 24, 2018 work at the top and the least important (discretionary)
at the bottom. Now this parameter HIGHTOLOW (default
is YES, original order) if set to NO reverses the order.
-Old default YES has UNCAPTURED at top and DISCRETIONALY
at bottom, NO reverses that order.
-Some ODS logic was corrected - changed from NE to EQ.
-Some statements reordered for logical ordering
Preceding changes were only in GRAFWLM.
-Only in GRAFWRKX, the default values for width and height
were reduced to 7.5 and 10 inches to eliminate warning
messages that the values were too large.
Thanks to Daniel McKinzie, Zions Bank, USA.
Change 36.152 -New Formats created to decode SMF 106 variables
FORMATS SMF6ACTP MG106CT. SMF6ACTY MG106CD. SMF6ATYP MG106SE.
VMAC106 -TYPE1061 dataset SMF6ASET has character and numeric value
Aug 17, 2018 that are not documented; MXG creates multiple SMF6ASETxx.
-TYPE1062 dataset SMFCMDPM contains two binary fields that
are decoded in SMF6A001/002 variables but seem too large
to be look up tables for parameters.
Thanks to Joe Faska, DTCC, USA.
Change 36.151 Updates from SMF Manual Jul 30, 2018.

====== Changes thru 36.149 are in MXG 36.07 dated Aug 8, 2018==========
Change 36.149 One site's IMF data has TRNETIME/TRNSTCKE two hours early
VMACCIMS (STRTTIME,ENDTIME) but TRNCVTTZ (GMT Offset) is zero and
VMXGINIT the site has not responded with their local/GMT times, so
Aug 8, 2018 this may be a temporary circumvention, but macro variable
IMFGMTOFF is created with value of zero and when it was
set &LET IMFGMTOFF=7200; before the %INCLUDE, the times
were correct. This change text will be updated when it
is known why these times, previously always the same time
zone as the ARRVTIME, are now different at this site.
Change 36.148 The combination of a PROC DATASETS with no MT= option and
ANALRMFR with a DELETE statement with a wildcard S: caused QA job
Aug 8, 2018 to fail with WPS because it honored the MT=ALL default to
delete both datasets starting with S, but unexpectedly
also deleted the SASMACR CATALOG dataset, which caused QA
to subsequently fail. But SAS only deleted datasets so QA
did not fail. Since the actual intent was to only delete
datasets, adding MT=DATA to the PROC DATASETS corrected
for both SAS and WPS. However, using MT=ALL with SAS
still only deleted datasets, printing this note:
WORK.SASMACR cannot be deleted because it's in use.
Change 36.147 Support for APAR OA52810 Data Set Encryption in DCOLMIGS
FORMATS dataset, adds new variables:

Change 36.146 -If you are not running MRO or you do not see a reduction
ASUMUOW in the OBS count between CICSTRAN and ASUMUOW on the
MXG NOTE order of 2:1 or better, it may indicate that the use of
Aug 7, 2018 MRO is not significant and it may be that running ASUMUOW
is a waste of resources. ASUMUOW has to sort all of the
CICSTRAN and DB2ACCT and MQ records to be able to merge
everything together and can be very resource intensive.
-If you have DB2 ROLLUPS that data becomes very suspicious
since one DB2 record can represent many transactions and
it is best in that case to not use ASUMUOW with DB2 data
as documented in change 36.107.
-If you find that running ASUMUOW is expensive or that you
are not achieving any serious reduction in OBS in ASUMUOW
dataset using ASUMUOW compared to the OBS in CICSTRAN,
then don't run ASUMUOW: instead, use ASUMCICS to create
the PDB.CICS dataset.
-All of the DB2 CPU time is captured in the CICS records;
only the class 3 wait times/counts are lost, but those
are primarily deep diagnostics, where it may be much
better to run ANALDB2R against the PDB.DB2ACCT dataset
selecting the desired transaction.
Change 36.145 QCMPRES is an AUTOCALL macro and we try to avoid using
ANALDB2R them since they have caused issues in the past. This
MONTHASC change replaces QCMPRES by a %SYFUNC(COMPBL) call to
MONTHBLD compress blanks for safety.

Change 36.144 -Compare Interval CPU time Captured RMF/SMF/CICS/DB2 with
COMPINTV totals and plots of each system. The ancient program was
Aug 8, 2018 restructured as a macro that can either read SMF data or
extract the data from an existing PDB. Parameters allow
you to limit the scope of the data being analyzed. The
output is a combination of PROC MEANS, TABULATEs, and
SGPLOTs and will show you capture ratios for RMF and SMF
for both CPUs and ZIPs as well as the CPU times from
RMF, SMF, CICS, and DB2.
-See the member for documentation on parameters and
usage.
-Some examples of usage
Read SMF and create reports on half hour intervals
%compintv(compinterval=halfhour);
-Get data from pdb and report on half hour intervals
%compintv(compinterval=halfhour,readsmf=no);
Change 36.143 Support for RSD Folders Version 6.0 Audit Records with
FORMATS INCOMPATIBLE updates. Only version 6.0 is supported, and
VMACRSDA one inconsistent record format is under investigation
Aug 5, 2018 and is not output.
Thanks to Jan Tielemans, KBC, BELGIUM.
Change 36.142 The MXGKEEP= default was incorrectly changed to NO in
VMXGINIT MXG 36.04, but the default MXGKEEP=NO is restored, as
Aug 5, 2018 YES can cause errors if there are INCODE variables.
Change 36.141 zHPF Channel Utilization
MXG Note zHPF was introduced by IBM to reduce channel utilization
Jul 31, 2018 and to improve data transfer performance. At the core,
the difference between zHPF enabled and traditional
FICON channels is the schema employed to transmit
channel programs and data. For traditional CCWs, a
channel program (comprised of multiple CCWs) is
transmitted from the channel to the subsystem in very
small chunks, CCWs and data blocks. Each turn around
increases channel utilization and as the utilization
increases, the acknowledgement coming back from the
subsystem experience delays like Volkswagens driving in
a sea of semis.
What zHPF does is it packs the CCWs and data blocks into
Transmission Control Words, i.e., TCWs. By reducing the
number of turnarounds required to transmit CCWs and data
blocks, the portion of channel utilization resulting
from the turnarounds is reduced. Moreover, by reducing
the number of turnarounds required for data transfer,
the effective data transfer rate is increased.
Finally, your mileage may vary. If your I/O stream
primarily supports VSAM or DB2 datasets, you will see a
lot of difference. If you have a large fraction of
traditional access methods, your level of benefits may
be reduced.
The TYPE73 Channel Busy is the primary indicator of the
benefit of zHPF.

Change 36.140 New READDB2 parameter SORT102 with SORT102=YES default
READDB2 can be changed to SORT102=NO to suppress the sorting of
Jul 27, 2018 T102Sxxx trace datasets and to suppress VFMT102 execution
that creates $MGDB2DB and $MGDB2OB formats when 105/107
IFCIDS are selected. They are used by ANALDB2R to match
DBID/OBID in trace datasets.
Thanks to Laifai Wong, Bank of America, USA.
Change 36.139 UTILBLDP enhancements and corrections.
UTILBLDP -If you asked for DB2 trace records and specified
Aug 7, 2018 SORTOUT=NO the T102xxxx datasets were still sorted.
-New parameter AUDITAFTER added with a default of NO.
With BUILDPDB=NO, PDBAUDIT is not executed by UTILBLDP.
With BUILDPDB=YES and AUDITAFTER=NO, there is no change:
PDBAUDIT is executed after BUILDPDB but before MXGINCL
and INCLAFTR programs are executed.
With BUILDPDB=YES and AUDITAFTER=YES, PDBAUDIT is now
executed after all of the specified MXGINCL and INCLAFTR
members are executed.
With BUILDPDB=YES and AUDITAFTER=NEVER, PDBAUDIT is not
executed.
-Now if you specify SUPPRESS=ID with BUILDPDB=YES, the
creation of dataset ID and execution of ANALID are
suppressed. Previously this caused an ABEND.
Thanks to Laifai Wong, Bank of America, USA.
Change 36.138 DB2 IFCID 18 dataset T102S018 was misaligned with wrong
VMAC102 input lengths, for both DB2 V12 and V11.

Thanks to Jan Tielemans, KBC, BELGIUM.
Change 36.137 -INVALID DATA for variable MICROCODE that MXG input as a
VMACRHEL numeric, is caused by character values '0x3c', so new
Jul 30, 2018 MICROCODECH character variable is created and MICROCODE
is set to a missing value to prevent VARIABLE NOT FOUND
errors.
-WARNING COUNT USER IN DROP/KEEP/RENAME list was printed
if the MXG Default OPTIONS DKROCOND=NOWARN was changed,
but they shouldn't have been in the KEEP list and are now
removed, and PROGNAME has been added to RHELUARG dataset.
-Datasets left in WORK are now deleted.
Thanks to Harald Seifert, HUK-COBURG, GERMANY.
Change 36.136 If you want to ABEND when RMFINTRV workload definitions
VMXGRMFI fall thru to OTHER, i.e., a Service or Reporting Class
VMXGINIT was found that was not mapped in your WORK= definitions,
Jul 23, 2018 you can force a user ABEND nnnn using non-zero NNNN in
%LET MXGABNDRMFI=nnnn; in your sysin.
The log will list the first undefined SRVCLASS value.
Thanks to Wayne Bell, UNIGROUP, USA.
Change 36.135 -Support for PowerExchange Version 10 was redesigned as
VMACPOEX some variables should not have been output in some of
Jan 9, 2018 the datasets, and a number of new variables are kept.
Jan 22, 2018 The four CPU times POEXCPUG, CPUC, CPUD, and POEXCPUL:
Jul 20 ,2018 POEXLIST keeps only POEXCPUG and POEXCPUL
POEXCLIE keeps only POEXCPUG and POEXCPUC; the variables
from FILE and DB2 segments are removed as they
were only from the last segment.
POEXDB2 keeps only POEXCPUG and POEXCPUD
POEXFILE has no CPU times.
-New CPU time variables are added to POEXLIST POEXCLIE:
POEXGSID='POWER*CENTER*SESSION*ID'
POEXGMNM='MAP*NAME'
POEXGTCP='CPU*TIME*ON*CP'
POEXGTOT='CPU*TIME*ON*ZIIP'
POEXGTOF='CPU OFFLOAD*ELIGIBLE*ON*CP'
-New DB2 variable added to POEXDB2 dataset:
POEX2QTY='DB2*CONNECTION*02X=CAF*12X=RRSAF'
