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 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 38.07.
1. Incompatibilities introduced in MXG 38.07:
a. Changes in MXG architecture made between 38.07 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.
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 38.141 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 if
EXCICTCR and when your CICS folks actually have need of the data.
EXCICXMF IBM CICINTRV dataset default 3 hour interval is also not
SCICSORT much use for tactical analysis. So for your BUILDPDB
VMXGCICI you can add this to your //SYSIN
Aug 21, 2020 %LET MACFILE=
%QUOTE( IF ID=110 AND SUBTYPE=2 THEN DELETE;);
and all of the Statistics datasets will have zero obs
and take no space, but will exist so subsequent reports
won't fail.
-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 obsn 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 by about 1/3 when there were lots of "idle" hours,
like all evenings and weekends and lots of regions.
Thanks to Vijay Singh, IBM, NEW ZEALAND.

Change 38.136 If you rerouted CICXMG to PDB all sorts of strangeness
VMXGCICI occured since VMXGCICI was looking for CICXMR rather
Aug 13, 2020 than CICXMG.
Thanks to Nilton de Oliveira Mello Junior, IBM, Brazil.
Change 38.135 -Change 38.128 wasn't released, but a severe error message
ASMRMFV RMFV016S >>>SEVERE: RMF III TABLE ID MISMATCH -
Aug 13, 2020 EXPECTED: CPUG3 ACTUAL: CPUG3 (C3D7E4C7F3X)<<<
incorrectly appears. A table id validation test branch
was incorrect.
Change 38.134 -Example added to output ALL Service/Report Classes even
ASUMMIPS those with CPUTM=0, which are not normally output.
Aug 11, 2020
Thanks to Nestor D Rossi, BANCOGALICiA, ARGENTINA.
Change 38.133 -Support for IMS LOG Record 67D0 Subtype 6 creates new
BUILDIMS dataset IMS67D006.
EX67D006 -BUILDIMS requires REPORT=YES (to avoid a MAJOR rewrite)
IMACIMS so it is now always forced.

IMACDCOL in DCOLBKUP, Unix or Not. The variables are now removed
VMACDCOL from DCOLBKUP and new DCOLBKUU dataset is now created for
VMXGINIT Unix dataset information.

Change 38.130 Support for Thruput Manager IZWS fields.
VMACTPMX
Aug 5, 2020
Thanks to Kurt Gramling, T-SYS, USA.
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 inaccuracty 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.
-See Change 38.135 correction; 38.128 was never released.
-Following updated or added in the ADOCRMFV documentation

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
mathing 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
VMACDB2 'F0F0F0F0F0F1'x to detect new data on EBCDIC or ASCII.
VMAC102
Jul 26, 2020
Change 38.124 -RMF III datasets ZRBXCG, ZRBXCP and ZRBXCS had many dupes
VMACRMFV because the offset was not updated and so only the first
Jul 26, 2020 segment was read and re-read and output XCFxDATN times.
Jul 30, 2020 Caused incorrect ZRBXCG INVALID TRIPLET messages.
-Dataset ZRBZFS variable ZFX_FS_AGGRREADKBYTES corrected.
====== CHANGES THRU 38.123 WERE IN MXG 38.06 DATED Jul 25, 2020 ========
Change 38.123 Change 38.121 overlooked one dataset causing the refresh
VMXGCICI on Saturday morning.
Jul 25, 2020
Change 38.122 Some CICS Statistics datasets (CICxxxxx) were incorrectly
VMAC110 sorted because the %INCLUDE SOURCLIB(SCICSORT) statement
Jul 25, 2020 was accidentally deleted.
Change 38.121 If you tailored CICS statistics datasets and some were in
VMXGCICI WORK and some were in PDB, a dataset not found error due
Jul 25, 2020 to MXG expecting all in one place. Individual locations

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.
-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 inplementation.
-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.

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.

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

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.

====== 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.

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 the 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.

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.

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.

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

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;) ;

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.

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 uninteded 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.

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'

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 Richard Simpson, CPTGLOBAL, AUSTRALIA.
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

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

VMAC102 variable QW0389IT='NUMBER*OF INDEX*TRANSVERSALS' to
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.

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:

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

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.

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:

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.

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, which
SAS has indicated will become the z/OS default in a
future version, so you can be prepared.
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 Claxton, 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, US Army, 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 37.253 Cosmetic. Labels were blank for these variables/datasets
ASUM70PR STCVSM32 variable SMLSSMF32
VMAC102 ASUMCEC variable CPUICFTM
VMAC113 TYPE1131 EXTND22x variables had COUNTER 225 UNDEFINED
VMAC120 FOCUSMSO variables FOCUMEMA,FOCUMEMB
VMAC26J2 TYPE26J2 variable SUBS
VMAC82 TYPE82 variable SMF82_TAK_KEY_EVENT
VMACSTC TYPE120 variable SMF1209HW
Nov 18, 2019 T102S106 variable QWO4ADM2-QWO4SADM
Thanks to Chris Weston, SAS ITRM Development, USA.
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.
Thanks to Sieghart Seith, FICUCIA, GERMANY.
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.
Thanks to Hiroshige Koshigoe, FTB CA, USA.
Thanks to Sarel Swanepoel, SARS, SOUTH AFRICA.
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.
VMXGINIT -These INFILE names can be enabled for these TYPExxxx:
Nov 26, 2019 TYPExxxx: TYPECTLT TYPEDCOL TYPEEDGR TYPERMFV
INFILE: CONTROLT DCOLLECT EDGHSKP RMFBSAM
TYPExxxx TYPETMS5 TYPEIMS
INFILE: TMC IMSLOG
See change 37.161 for the original addition.
Change 37.248 Unused Change Number.

Change 37.247 Example analysis to track down why USERID was revoked.
TECHNOTE
Nov 4, 2019
SUMMARY: Userid for an inbound FTP process had the wrong password,
eventually userid was revoked, but the MVS RACF SYSLOG message was
misleading, as it was expected to be a VTAM LU, but it is the value
"A86CF325" in message that matches the RACFTERM:

Change 37.246 Dataset ZRBPCI variables PCIFTET and PCIFTQT were input
VMACRMFV incorrectly as milliseconds (PIB8.3) units, but they are
Oct 31, 2019 both microseconds (PIB8.6), with TIME13.3 print format.
Change 37.245 If you KEEPALL=NO or %LET MXGKEEP=NO and your VMXGSUM
VMXGSUM invocation had an INCODE= you might have gotten an
Oct 30, 2019 UNINIT message on one or more variables in the INCODE
that were not also referenced in one of the parameters.
This change modifies KEEPALL to YES if INCODE is used.
Change 37.244 Observations from Subtype 3 SMF 119 records were not
VMAC119 output because some of the Production UserIds did not
Oct 30, 2019 have read access to the SMF unix Facility, which is
required for SMF record to be written.
Thanks to Aslyona Bertneski, Express-Scripts, USA.
Change 37.243 Variables SMF70LACM SMF70LACA and SMF70LACB are now kept
VMAC7072 in TYPE70PR dataset to aid in SCRT comparisons. They
Oct 28, 2019 have been in TYPE70 since Version 33.
Thanks to Ken Deering, Compuware, USA.

Thanks to Ron Rust, Worldpay, USA.
Change 37.240 DB2 Variable QWP4STPGS='STATPGSAMP/N/Y/S' was not INPUT
VMAC102 in T102S106 dataset.

Thanks to Lai Fai Wong, Bank of America, USA.
====== CHANGES THRU 37.239 WERE IN MXG 37.07 DATED Oct 22, 2019 ========
Change 37.239 Support for z/15 SMF113 records new CRYPTO17-CRYPTO20
VMAC113 counters (ERROR: ARRAY SUBSCRIPT OUT OF RANGE ABEND),
Oct 22, 2019 only if you had enabled the HIS CRYPTO counters.
Thanks to Steven W Erkkila, USBANK, USA.
Change 37.238 Support for NDM-CDI 'S#' record type is now output in
VMACNDM existing NDMAE dataset.
Oct 16, 2019
Thanks to Rob D'Andrea, Royal Bank of Scotland, ENGLANE.
Change 37.237 Cosmetic. STARTIME syntax modified to eliminate notes
ASUM42DS from VMXGSUM internal invocation.
Oct 15, 2019
====== CHANGES THRU 37.236 WERE IN MXG 37.07 DATED Oct 14, 2019 ========
Change 37.236 Support for z/15 SMF 113 records new EXTEND256-EXTEND287
ANALSIIS counters, with corresponding ARRAY size increases, CAUSED
VMAC113 ERROR:ARRAY SUBSCRIPT OUT OF RANGE ABEND. In ANALSIIS,
Oct 14, 2019 SORT order was corrected.
Thanks to Tony Curry, BMC, USA.
====== CHANGES THRU 37.235 WERE IN MXG 37.07 DATED Oct 12, 2019 ========
Change 37.235 CRITICAL ERROR if BLDSMPDB+VMXGALOC is used on ASCII.
BLDSMPDB An ending comma in line 949 of BLDSMPDB caused
Oct 12, 2019 ERROR: All positional parameters must precede keyword.
Remove the comma in line 949 of BLDSMPDB.
====== CHANGES THRU 37.234 WERE IN MXG 37.07 DATED Oct 9, 2019 ========
Change 37.234 DB2 variables added to DB2ACCT and DB2STATS datasets:
VMACDB2 QXSTEHLST='EXECUTION*HISTORY.LOST'
Oct 8, 2019 QXSTHVLST='HV*RECORDING*HISTORY*LOST'
QXRFMIAP='RID*LIST*PROCESSING*NOT USED'
Thanks to Warren Cravey, Fidelity, USA.
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 Scott Barry, SBBWORKS, INC, USA.
Change 37.231 z/VM 6.4.18.2 BROKEN CONTROL RECORD in IODVSW extended
VMACVMXA INPUT for SKIP GE 20 was missing the @ at the end.
Oct 7, 2019
Thanks to Rob D'Andrea, Royal Bank of Scotland, ENGLANE.
Change 37.230 If you specified DURATM=INTERVAL with INTERVAL= values of
VMXGSUM TWOMIN THREEMIN or TWENTYMIN the DURATM was not created.

Oct 5, 2019
Change 37.228 -Format $MGRMIPS is updated for the z/15 processor type
ASUMMIPS 8561 to map the CPCFNAME ('8561-401') to the MIPS per MSU
FORMATS value (267), used in ASUMMIPS and other 'MIPS' calcs.
Oct 5, 2019 -Protection for CPCFNAME not found in $MGRMIPS format now

Change 37.225 RMM/EDGR dataset EDGRXEXT variable RDPHYSIZE was not
VMACEDGR multiplied by the RDFACTOR(KB/MB/GB) so it was too small.
Oct 1, 2019 The value was correct in the other EDGR datasets.
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).

Oct 3, 2019 *** New Support ***
Oct 8, 2019
-Support for the RMF Monitor III Cryptographic Hardware
Data table (CRYG3) table new with z/OS 2.4 . The CRYG3
table does not exist for prior z/OS releases.
-The CRYG3 selection option is CRY (alias K).
The CRYG3 filtering option is NOCRY (aliases -CRY, -K).
CRYG3 is also selected if the MOST option is used.
-Support for the RMF Monitor III XCF Activity Data table
(XCFG3) which has existed at least since z/OS 1.13 but
was undocumented.
-The XCFG3 selection option is XCF (alias X).
The XCFG3 filtering option is NOXCF (aliases -XCF, -X).
XCFG3 is also selected if the MOST option is used.
-FDF support added for the RMF III Channel Data table
CPDG3. Information on CPD FDF filtering appears in
Section 33 Filtering The CPD Table in the ADOCRMFV
documentation member. There is a data dictionary listing
all the CPDG3 field names supported by FDF.
-FDF support added for the RMF III Enqueue Name table
ENTG3. Information on ENT FDF filtering appears in
Section 37 Filtering The ENT Table in the ADOCRMFV
documentation member. There is a data dictionary listing
all the ENTG3 field names supported by FDF.
-FDF support added for the RMF III OMVS Process Data table
OPDG3. Information on OPD FDF filtering appears in
Section 39 Filtering The OPD Table in the ADOCRMFV
documentation member. There is a data dictionary listing
all the OPDG3 field names supported by FDF.
-FDF support added for the RMF III General Information
table GEIG3. Information on GEI FDF filtering appears in
Section 38 Filtering The GEI Table in the ADOCRMFV
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).

*** 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 37.199 -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

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)
-Invalid hex value can be shown in RMFV080I and RMFV088I

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.

Change 37.139 Reserved Change.
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.
Thanks to Xing Su, DXC Technology, AUSTRALIA.
Thanks to Peter J. Gray, DXC Technology, AUSTRALIA.
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
Jun 21, 2019 has many different bar charts, tabular reports, and EXCEL
spreadsheets as you choose, with report examples in the
comments, and with numerous report examples available

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.
Thanks to Jim Horne, Lowes, USA.

ASUM4HRS %VMXGSUM invocations to prevent rare errors.

Change 37.130 -New VM Account datasets supported.
EXVMCAPD dddddd Dataset Description
EXVMCAPE CHGD VMCAPCHD CAPABILITY*CHANGED
IMACVM CHGE VMCAPCHE CAPABILITY*CONTINUATION
TYPEVM -Under investigation with IBM Support:

Jun 25, 2019 -VMSESSN records overlap, with ACCTTIME greater than the
STARTIME=ACCTTIME-CONECTTM of the next record for the
User TCPIP, trying to use this data for availability
measurement.
Thanks to William Marshall, Ensono, USA.
Change 37.129 Member INSTALL and the listed members were updated with
INSTALL more consistent names in the examples.

Change 37.128 SMF 82 ICSF updates from ICN1633 for a future release:
FORMATS -New variable SMF82CSF in TYPE8201 identifies source of
VMAC82 the startup member name, formatted MG082CS.
Jun 12, 2019 -Variable SMF82UCB, SMF82TKF bits are decoded in TYPE8209.
-Variable SMF82TKF bits are decoded in TYPE8209
-Variable SMF82BOT bits are decoded in TYPE8213.
Change 37.127 -Formats created for TYP11902 dataset variables TTTTLSCS,
FORMATS TTTLSPD, TTTERMCD, TTSMCSTATUS, and values updated in
VMAC119 format $MG119RE for variable T119REAS.
Jun 11, 2019 -New TYP11902 variables:
TTSMCSTATUS='SMC-R*STATUS'
TTIPSECFLAGS='IP*SECURITY*STATUS'
TTLCLSMCBUFSZ='LOCAL RMB*BUFFER*SIZE KB'
TTRMTSMCBUFSZ='REMOTE RMB*BUFFER*SIZE KB'
-New TYP11994/TYP11995 OPENSSH new variables.
SSH_FIPSMODE ='RUNNING*IN*FIPS*MODE?'
SSH_KEXMETHOD ='KEY*EXCHANGE*METIOD*USED'
Thanks to Randy Hewitt, DXC, USA.
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 =========
Change 37.124 Variable ID added to the TYPE60,TYPE6156,TYPE62,TYPE64,
VMAC60 TYPE6367,TYPE68,TYPE69 datasets so a direct merge can be
Jun 5, 2019 made without added data passes.
Thanks to Tony Curry, BMC, USA.
Change 37.123 MXG calculation of TYPE70 variable CPUMVSTM/PCTMVSBY was
VMAC7072 too small because Parked Time was incorrectly subtracted
Jun 5, 2019 from CPUUPTM which already has Parked Time removed.
Variables PLCPRDYQ (Ready Queue Delay Percent) and
SHORTCPS were also too small and corrected. Impact was
typically less than ten percent.
Thanks to Ken Deering, COMPUWARE, USA.
Thanks to Selby Shanly, COMPUWARE, USA.
Change 37.122 Support for two new variables in RACF OFFLOAD RACF0200
VMACRACF dataset, with values of YES or NO:
Jun 3, 2019 USBD_ROAUDIT ='USER*HAS*ROAUDIT*ATTRIBUTE?'

Change 37.120 Mobile Service Units on GP and IIP ARE included in the
VMAC7072 CPUTM and ZIPCPUTM variables in TYPE72GO and TYPE72TR.
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).
Thanks to Ken Deering, Compuware, USA.

Change 37.119 Label for PTECP2 is 'CPU TIME*ZIP*ELIGIBLE' instead of
VMACNDM "QUALIFIED".

Change 37.118 Sites with NLS issues must use CONFIMXG, but to build the
JCLCONFI new FORMATS catalog, you must use the JCLCONFI example.
May 27, 2019
Change 37.117 The optional CICS DBCTL SMF 110 segment can be 164 or 256
IMACICDB but the order was the 164 first, so if you opened both of
May 23, 2019 the comment blocks, the 256 segment was misaligned. Now,
the 256 segment is first and both blocks can be opened to
support both lengths.
Thanks to Steven W. Erkkila, USBank, USA.
Change 37.116 -WPS U4087 ABEND in WPS 4.1 but not in WPS 4.0 due to the
CONFIGW4 new data copier added in 4.1, can be circumvented with
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
May 22, 2019 removed. Change 35.166 revised the BY list.
Thanks to Douglas C. Walter, CITIGROUP, USA.
Change 37.115 Wrong SMF record types for the example IFASMFDP step when
UTILBLDP BUILDJCL=YES was specified. 23 should have been 25 and
May 22, 2019 26J2/26J3 should be 26.
Change 37.114 Support for updated BETA 93 V6R2 (INCOMPATIBLE changes).
EXTYBET9 Offset to data was changed for some records.

Change 37.113 NDM-CDI 24-byte record INPUT EXCEEDED ERROR; the header
VMACNDM length is 28 bytes, so a test for length is added and an
May 19, 2019 error message printed and the record deleted.
Thanks to Kurt Gramling, T-SYS, USA.
Change 37.112 New options CLEARALL=ONLY will clear any normal MXG
VMXGALOC associated LIBNAMEs allocated to your session without
May 19, 2019 trying to allocate new libnames.
Clears these libnames:
PDB SPIN MON TUE WED THU FRI SAT SUN WEEK

only if they are allocated.
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:

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

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 creates like CICS UOWTIME with
only 6-bytes of datetime, but IMS UOWTIME is 8-bytes in
UOWTRANS, now used to create the IMS UOWTIME.

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.

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 37.086 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.

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.

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.

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
VMAC102 for each bit:

QW0319AE='AES*ENCRYPTION*BEING*USED?'
QW0319SC='COMPATIBLE*WITH*TCPALVER?'
QW0319SE='SECURE*CONNECTION?'
-Variable QW0319RI is INPUT and Kept.
-Variables QW0319AE QW0319IY QW0319SC QW0319SE kept.
-New variable QW0319LU='LUNAME*IF*SNA' is created
Thanks to Warren Cravey, FMR, USA.

VMAC7072 CMF Release Boundary; values of both 792 (2.2) and 794
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

Change 37.043 Executing MXG on ASCII under a VM product, or with WORK
TECHNOTE on a network drive, bad things can happen. We SRONGLY
Feb 21, 2019 recommend keeping the WORK file local to the system on
which you are executing SAS.
Two Known Errors:
-This error was found with WORK on a network drive:
ERROR: Unable to obtain valid utility file pathname.
-This error was found under VM with WORK on a network
drive:
ERROR: A lock is not available for WORK.OPTVAR.DATA.
This one can be circumvented by adding
-filelockwait 30
to your SAS command or as an OPTION in SAS.CFG file.

====== CHANGES THRU 37.031 WERE IN MXG 37.01 DATED Feb 3, 2019=========
Change 37.031 Bar charts of MIPS and % CPU added to the analysis work
GRAFWLM by IMPORTANCE, originally based on Peter Enrico's paper.
Feb 3, 2019
Change 37.030 MXG 36.12-37.01 ASMRMFV ASI NOZEROCPU filter stopped
ASMRMFV filtering which could cause a significant increase in the
Feb 3, 2019 size of the RMFBSAM file and the PDB.ZRBASI dataset.
ASICPUTA_LF was added by Change 36.241 to that filter,
but it is an accumulated field that can not be used as it
is always non-zero. NOZEROCPU is supported for z/OS 2.2+
-Section 5 "Input Data Control Parameters" is updated.
====== CHANGES THRU 37.029 WERE IN MXG 37.01 DATED Feb 1, 2019=========
Change 37.029 A reference line of the values for SMF70LAC (overall
ANAL89 rolling 4 hour avg MSU) added to interval MSU charts.

Feb 14, 2019 to '10071802' for 7.1 that failed when tested for 'GE'/
New variable ZVMVERS='07.1.18.1' is created so GE can be
used for IF ZVMVERS GE tests. There were 32 bytes added
to PRCDHF, but the 7.1 DSECT only shows on byte added.
-Heuristic (ZZQUCT+1) test revised, false positive caused
large VMDTTIME value.
Thanks to Graham Harris, RBS, ENGLAND.
Change 37.027 Example added to email the final condition code of a SAS
EMAIL job running in the background on ASCII.
Jan 31, 2019
Change 37.026 If you create your own SUBSYSTEM that handles JES2 output
VMAC26J2 the SUBS value in SMF 26 records is not the expected 0002
Jan 30, 2019 for JES2 (or 0003 for JES3), but instead is a two byte
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.

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

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.

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 37.008 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.

UTILEXCL 36.235 Support for IBM CICS/TS 5.5 SMF 110 CICSTRAN INCOMPAT
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:

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,

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 ?'
VMXGINIT MGCRALGO='ALGORITHM*USED'
Dec 8, 2018 MGCDSSUF='ADRDSSU*DUMP*RESTORE*COPYDUMP'
MGCRDSN1='INPUT*DSN'
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.
But _IMSVERS is NOT USED in the 56FA records; it is used
only in old IMS log records hex 07 08 0A 31 35 36 40 59.
Dec 23, 2018: Variable TPCXLEN re-kept in IMS56FA always
a missing value until IBM populates the segment.
Thanks to Giuseppe Giacomodonato, EPVTECH, ITALY.
Change 36.237 z/VM 6.3 MONWRITE record ABEND at HCPCPEID='30061701:
VMACVMXA PROBABLE DATA LOSS MESSAGE exposed incorrect new SKIP
Dec 6, 2018 logic for 6.4 that failed with 6.3 in MTRSYS, 1.04..
SKIP logic revised to protect old versions.
Thanks to Giuseppe Giacomodonato, EPVTECH, ITALY.
====== 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 Horne, Lowes, 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.
VMXGINIT

Change 36.225 Documentation only. Examples clarified.
ANALCAPD
Nov 16, 2018
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
RRMSWATM RUNTRWTM SRVSYWTM SYNCDLTM TCALWTTM
TDELWTTM TDILWTTM
but only one, DSCHMDTM, is populated.
-This is the new code for WTOTIOTM

(WTOTIOTM-SUM(WTDISPTM,WTSYIOTM)) GT 0 THEN
WTOTIOTM=WTOTIOTM-SUM(WTDISPTM,WTSYIOTM);
Thanks to Jim Franklin, DXC Technology, USA.
Change 36.219 Misspelling of miscellaneous corrected in 15 of 876 uses,
Many and many other spelling errors have been corrected.
Nov 13, 2018
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.

RMM (MXG TYPEDGR) and SMF 21 statistics, too high.
-OA54992 SMSVSAM SMF TYPE 42 SUBTYPE 15 RECORDS MAY
INCORRECTLY RECORD ABOVE THE BAR BMF STATISTICS FOR DATA
SETS. Occurs with a data set is assigned to a dataclass
with above the bar usage set to yes, but the data set is
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

Change 36.206 When the input DD is tape or sequential, VMXGSUM and
VMXGSUM VGETOBS cannot reasonably detect the presence or absence
Oct 28, 2018 of datsets 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 36.204 Plots and or TABULATE of MSU capacity GRAFMSU Reports.
GRAFMSU For General purpose CPUs:
Nov 16, 2018 CPC Capacity .

See doc in the member for examples of usage and see
change 36.156 for examples of wrapping in ODS statements
to create HTML or PDF output.
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
ERROR: The format name '$ CPUPHYAD' invalid
because WPS didn't like the blank in FMTNAME ' CPUPHYAD'
Removing the blank didn't impact SAS but it healed WPS.
Thanks to Rodger Foreman, Black Knight, USA
Change 36.200 Logic rearranged to put error checking at the top, some
VMXG2DTE additonal error checking added and abort changed to a

VMACBETA BETALCMD='LINE*COMMAND'
Oct 30, 2018 BETARPOS='POINTER*TO*VALUE*AREA'
-BETA 97 subtype 22 variable B97RELTY in dataset BETA9722
has new values decoded by updated FORMAT MGBETET.
-New BETA 97 subtype 6 will create new datasets when test
records are available.
Thanks to Andreas Menne, Finanz Informatik, GERMANY.
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
5 microsec
03:36:30.885299 Minute 36 Second 30 Paired USEINT

03:36:30.885770 Minute 36 Second 30 Last USEACT
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:
Oct Data:
09:36:00.999919 Minute 36 Second 00 First USEACT
3 microseconds
09:36:00.999922 Minute 36 Second 00 Paired USEINT
76 microseconds (write 21 pairs)
09:36:00.999998 Minute 36 Second 00 First USEACT
2 microseconds
09:36:01.000000 Minute 36 Second 01 Paired USEINT
324 microseconds (write 65 pairs)
09:36:01.000324 Minute 36 Second 01 First USEACT
1 microseconds
09:36:01.000325 Minute 36 Second 01 Paired USEINT
==> 86 pair written in 406 microsec for minute 36.

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.
Thanks to Robert Taylor, Wisconsin Dept of Administration, USA.
Change 36.191 New Type 74 Subtype 8 dataset TYPE748S SYNC I/O variables
VMAC74 R748SCWT R748SNBW R748SNWO R748SNWS R748SNWT were INPUT
Oct 11, 2018 and FORMATted and LENGTHed and LABELed incorrectly.
Thanks to Steve Olenik, IBM, USA.
Change 36.190 A reference line showing the memory allocated to each
GRAFWRKX LPAR was added to the memory graph. The scale on the Y
Oct 11, 2018 axis is 0 to the MAX memory for any LPAR in the data.
Change 36.189 Variable SM113CPT added to the SMF 113 report to show
ANAL113 the engine type.
Oct 9, 2018
Thanks to Jim Horne, Lowes, USA.
Change 36.188 Support for new Bit 4 of SMF30_RAXFLAGS and creation of
BUILD005 these new bit-level variables with explanation in label
BUIL3005 SMF30_RAXFLAG0='RAX0*USERKEY*COMMON*AUDIT*ENABLED?'

SMF30_RAXFLAG3='RAX3*USERKEY*CHANGE*KEY*USAGE?'
SMF30_RAXFLAG4='RAX4*USERKEY*RUCSA*USAGE?'
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.)
Thanks to MP Welch, Bank of America, USA.
Change 36.187 WPS does not honor OPTIONS NOXWAIT so there may be times
BLDSMPDB when it is necessary to respond to a message.

Change 36.184 JES 2 JMF subtype 21 INPUT RECORD EXCEEDED LENGTH because
VMAC84 triplets were misaligned and this was the first instance
Oct 3, 2018 of that subtype to test.
Oct 11, 2018 -Value of JMFINTRV is 60+ hours, JMFDELTA is 90 minutes,
so the two percentage calculations use JMFDELTA.
Thanks to Jim Horne, Lowes, USA.
Thanks to Joe Faska, DTCC, USA.
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 missign the
offset can't be calculated. Pending a vendor correction,
MXG Retains the GMTOFFEX and uses that value instead,
which could cause missint values for STRT/ENDT.
Nov 20: The Informatica fix number for this problem is
PWX-7566 and it will be in code base PWX V10.2.0 Hotfix2
currenly scheduled for Q1 of 2019.
Thanks to Scott Wiig, US Bank, USA.
Thanks to Jan Tielemans, KBC, BELGIUM.
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 36.181 Support for zVPS USEDIAG segment adds variables DIAGNBR
VMACXAM and DIAGVALUE to datasets XMUSVCPU and XAMUSR.
Oct 2, 2018
Thanks to Patricia Hansen, ADP, USA.
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.
Thanks to Ralph Gifford, AIG, USA.

Change 36.177 Reserved Change Number.
Change 36.176 Extraneous % in UTILBLDP could cause 180 ERROR and ABEND.
UTILBLDP Line 665 had a stray percent sign, MXG 36.08 only.
Sep 20, 2018 The EXPDBOUT= argument exposes the error.
Thanks to Tom MacCabe, Dominion Energy, USA
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
Sep 21, 2018 was inserted prior to a triplet.

is reset to 367 and a note is printed on the log. If you
really want to create ALL of the IFCIDS use IFCIDS=ALL.

====== 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=
%QUOTE(
IF STN(_I_) EQ 'DHECPROD' THEN STN(_I_)='DHEC';
ELSE IF STN(_I_) EQ 'DHECTEST' THEN STN(_I_)='DHCT';
ELSE IF STN(_I_) EQ 'PROD' THEN STN(_I_)='SYS1';
ELSE IF STN(_I_) EQ 'TEST' THEN STN(_I_)='SYST';
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 Horne, Lowes, USA.
Change 36.165 Analysis of SMF 89 data, including conversion of CPU time
ANAL89 into MSU values, with several reports.
Sep 10, 2018
Thanks to Edward Cornish, Verisk, USA.
Change 36.164 Variable SMF82KVL is added to TYPE8207 with number of
VMAC82 nibbles in SMF82KV field. ICN 1652.
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;
run;
ods csvall close;
ods markup tagset=chtml close;
Change 36.155 Support for Z/VM LINUX LNXAPPL Process & summary APL data
EOAPLLXP creates these new datasets:
EXAPLLXF dddddd dataset description
EXAPLLXP APLLXF VXAPLLXF LNXAPPL FILE SYSTEM DATA
EXAPLLXS APLLXS VXAPLLXS LNXAPPL SUMMARY DATA
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.
-Sep 13: RESID corrected to RESIDENT, comments deleted.
Thanks to Graham Harris, RBS, ENGLAND.

Aug 18, 2018
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.
FORMATS -Format MG022ET adds values
VMAC42 5='5:COUPLING FACILITY CONTROL UNIT'
VMAC62 6='6:LOGICAL PARTITION ENTRY'
Aug 12, 2018 9='9:PCIE FUNCTION'
-Variables added to TYPE42SR dataset:
S42SCRRU='AVG*RANDREAD*CACHEHIT*RESPTM'
S42SCRSU='AVG*RANDREAD*CACHEHIT*SERVICTM'
-Variables added to TYPE62 dataset:
SMF62IND_2='CATALOG*OR CRA*RECORD?'
SMF62IND_3='VVDS*OR*ICF*RECORD?'
SMF62IND_4='SMS*CLASS*INFO*INCLUDED?'
SMF62IND_5='DATASET*IS*ENCRYPTED?'
Change 36.150 Support for APAR OA54589, OSPROTECT/TRUSTED/NOTRUSTED
BUILD005 adds these new variables to TYPE30_4 and PDB.STEPS:
BUIL3005 SMF30CAS_OA54589_0='SMF30CAS*OA54589*BYTE 0'
VMAC30 SMF30CAS_OA54589_1='SMF30CAS*OA54589*BYTE 1'
Aug 12, 2018 SMF30CAS_OA54589_2='SMF30CAS*OA54589*BYTE 2'
Aug 27, 2018 SMF30CAS_OA54589_3='SMF30CAS*OA54589*BYTE 3'
These variables are created from the bit tests for the
preceding Byte variables listed in the SMF Manual:
SMF30CAS_OSPROTECT='OSPROTECT';
SMF30CAS_UNTRUSTED='UNTRUSTED?'
SMF30CAS_TRUSTED='TRUSTED?'
====== 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

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.
Thanks to Dr. H. Pat Artis, Performance Associates, USA.
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.
Jul 27, 2018
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'
Thanks to Scott Wiig, US Bank, USA.
Change 36.134 WebSphere SMF 120 subtypes 5 and 6 only output the first
VMAC120 method per bean, but there can be many. The logic was
Jul 20, 2018 corrected and all are now output in TYP120JC/TYP120JI.
Thanks to Nick Varley, SYNCSORT, USA.
Change 36.133 Variable LPARBUSY was not calculated for z14 processor
ASUM113 in dataset PDB.ASUM1131.

Thanks to Scott Barry, SBBWorks Inc., USA.
Change 36.132 Support for EOS Version 160 (INCOMPATIBLE) Audit/Account
VMACWSF records. Only the END records (subtype 4 and 20) have
Aug 5, 2018 valid begin and end times and have their GMT times reset
Sep 26, 2018 to local time zone.
Change 36.131 Reading compressed DB2/CICS data with MXGREADSMF=LOGGER
VMACSMF did not invoke the EXITCICS CICSIFUE exit; the &SMFEXIT
Jul 12, 2018 macro variable was not in the LOGGER's INFILE statement.
-If you have compressed CICS or DB2 records and want to
read the LOGGER data, you must use the CICSIFUE INFILE
exit (EXITCICS); the internal MXG decompression code is
not supported for that combination.
Thanks to John Compton, World Programming, ENGLAND.
Change 36.130 Variable NDMUID is now populated from NDMZUID in NDMCT
VMACNDM and NDMFI datasets with the full 64 byte user id.

Change 36.129 SAS Note 61906 reports SAS 9.4 TS1M3 on z/OS might
SAS NOTE experience poor performance in DATA steps, with CPU time
Jul 12, 2018 increase of 40% reported. The issue is fixed in TS1M4
Aug 8, 2018 and later. See http://support.sas.com/kb/61/906.html
A hot fix was planned for TS1M3, note created Feb 28 and
modified Mar 8, 2018; no Hot Fix was created since M4/M5
corrected the poor performance. But Aug 8, 2018 SAS Tech
Support suggested for SAS 9.4 at TS1M3 that using
// EXEC SASPROC,OPTIONS='MSYMTABMAX=20000000'
to increase the size of the macro symbol table from 1M to
19M would and did eliminate the CPU time increase.
Subsequently, Tech Support said using 2M syntax would and
did resolve the problem.
====== Changes thru 36.128 are in MXG 36.06 dated Jul 9, 2018==========
Change 36.128 z/OS SAS 9.4 M2 Note 58492 reports reading tape data sets
SAS NOTE can fail with ERROR: LIBRARY WEEK31 IS NOT A VALID FORMAT
Jul 4, 2018 FOR ACCESS METHOD SASV7SEQ, but that error message is not
correct. The error is not an invalid format, but is a
memory allocation error. SAS 9.4 M2 added support for LBI
(Large Block Interface), which allocates a buffer for
each tape data library below the 16MB line, and a large
number of SAS tape libraries can exhaust that memory
area. Unfortunately, increasing the REGION size does NOT
increase the below the line size. Reducing the number of
tape data libraries can circumvent the error, which is
corrected in SAS 9.4 M4, and there is a Hot Fix for M2
and M3.

Change 36.126 Variables added to dataset TYPE70:
VMAC7072 SMF70MDL_CBP SMF70MCR_CBP SMF70NCR_CBP SMF70LAC_CBP
Jul 2, 2018 SMF70CPA_ACTUAL_CBP
Change 36.125 Variable SRDGCOMM was replaced by SRDGNAME, but due to
VMACSRDF use of SRDGCOMM in existing reports, both are kept now.

Thanks to Joe Faska, DTCC, USA.
Change 36.124 SMF 42 Subtype 5 ABEND, more invalid LENSR=560/640.
VMAC42 As reported in Change 36.027, APAR OA54663 corrects.
Jun 29, 2018 MXG circumvention extended to protect these values:
IF LENSR IN(232,240,320,376,400,448,480,560,640)
THEN LENSR=160;
LENSR=376 added Oct 15 in Change 36.124.
Thanks to Jan Tielemans, KBC, BELGIUM.
Change 36.123 Error Documentation: BMC's CMF SMF 74 Subtype 8 SMF74IET
VMAC74 field is incorrect, and causes R748AEBC to be invalid.
Jun 26, 2018 BMC1316 corrects. NO MXG CODE CHANGE.
Change 36.122 Examples in comments for both z/OS and ASCII execution
SAGANAL are revised and enhanced to create HTML output files in
Jun 22, 2018 either a PDSE or in a ZFS File System or ftp to MXG.
Jul 6, 2018 The KEEP CPI: CPU: replaced by specific list of TYPE30_V
Jul 22, 2018 variables, reducing kept from 1533 to the intended 64.

Change 36.117 SORTBY= is not a valid option for the PMAUD02 trace
ANALDB2R report. If you happened to specify QWHSSSID it worked
Jun 11, 2018 but that was a coincidence. Now produces a message to
tell you and sets SORTBY to QWHSSTCK QWHSSSID.
Change 36.116 STCVSM11 variables NIO and CUB in VSM6 are now bytes so
VMACSTC new variables are created with B added as last character.
Jun 13, 2018 The previous code did not initialize the six calculated
Jun 15, 2018 variables, causing their sum to be greater than the CUB
Jun 22, 2018 and NIO variables; that is corrected.
Jul 2, 2018 -Jun 15: First 36.05. Two Debugging PUTLOGs removed.
-Jun 22: Test to identify VSM6 vs earlier now tests for
VSM6 or ELSE DO; for any other STC11VTS name value.
-Jul 2: Test to identify VSM6 now tests STC11CSP for
values of 1000 or 8000 based on this site's values for
STC11INM to modify that test:

Change 36.115 Unused Change Number.
Change 36.114 DB2ACCTR dataset has been misaligned when QLACOFF1 is not
VMACDB2 zero, i.e. if QLACLOCN field is longer than 16 bytes, and
Jun 10, 2018 there is more than one QLAC segment, due to 2 undoc bytes
in the second and subsequent segments, but it was only
INVALID DATA FOR QLACCPUL/QLACDBWT messages that exposed
the error - no user had reported the bad QLACxxxx values,
suggesting DB2ACCTR has not been important nor used!
And those QLAC variables are also kept in DB2ACCT, but
only from the LAST QLAC segment, because originally there
was only one QLAC segment.
Option a: Leave the QLAC variables in DB2ACCT as-is
with this documentation that they are only
from the last segment.
Option b: Set all QLAC variables in DB2ACCT missing
but keep them; dropping existing variables
by MXG is unsafe because it could cause
an ABEND with VARIABLES NOT FOUND if you
have an old report that references then.
I have NOT chosen this option.
Option c: Create macro _DRPQLAC listing all QLAC vars
kept in DB2ACCT so you can add
MACRO _KDB2ACR DROP=_DRPQLAC %
in your IMACKEEP to always drop them from
DB2ACCT, or use you can use
%LET MACKEEP=
MACRO _KDB2ACR DROP=_DRPQLAC % ;
in the //SYSIN of your DB2ACCT create job.
MACRO DRPQLAC is created and available, but
it does not drop QLACLOCN,QLACCNVR due to
references to those variables in others.
Thanks to Scott Wiig, US Bank, USA.
Change 36.113 Incorrect test for GE 526 corrected to GE 538 to input
VMACDB2 QPAC_PIPE_WAIT and QPAC_PIPE_COUNT to correct those two

JCLCPORT and vice versa on z/OS and ASCII.
Jun 4, 2018
Change 36.110 -S0C7 Abend reading non-Extended Function VSAM dataset in
ADOCRMFV SHOWSP subroutine after Change 36.068 (MXG 36.04 only).
ASMRMFV Extended Function VSAM datasets support striping and
Jun 2, 2018 compression and extended addressability. It is an
attribute of the Data Class. LISTC ENT('dataset') ALL
command will display EXTENDED attribute if file is EF.
-Common RMFV030I and RMFV031I messages now issued for
either EF or non-EF VSAM data sets.
-Documentation Section updated to support the above
changes: Section 12 "Messages"
Thanks to Randy Shumate, RELX Group, USA
Change 36.109 INPUT X $VARYING32000 is very CPU/Elapsed expensive when
TYPENMON the maximum length of the input records is small. Adding
TYPERHEL LENGTH X $1926; reduced 111 CPU seconds to only 40, so a
TYPSNMON _NULL_ data step is added to TYPENMON to find the maximum
TYPSRHEL record length, and the INPUT NMONTEXT $VARYING32000.; is
VMACNMON replaced with this logic, using the _INFILE_ variable:
VMACRHEL LENGTH NMONTEXT $ &NMONLENGTH ;
Jun 5, 2018 NMONTEXT=TRANWRD(_INFILE_,',,',', ,');
It is the actual LENGTH of NMONTEXT that is the major
impact on CPU and Elapsed times, but on z/OS, the LRECL
has some impact, so you need to use an LRECL that is
greater than the MAXNMONLENGTH, printed on the SAS log.
The calculation of the NRWORDSIN that was needed for SAS
V8 and early WPS was revised with added CPU reduction.
The same changes are made for the RHEL/NMON processing.
Steve Bagshaw gets credit for this discovery!

Change 36.108 Support for RACF TOKENs REQTCRE and ADMINCII creates
VMAC80A TOKMADMINCII='TOKEN*ADMINCII'
Jun 1, 2018 TOKMREQTCRE='TOKEN*REQTCRE'
variables in TYPE80TK dataset.
Thanks to Bruce Hewson, Citibank N.A., SINGAPORE.
Change 36.107 If you are using ROLLUPS in DB2 to reduce the volume of
ASUMUOW data then it becomes unlikely that you will get a good
VMXGUOW match between CICSTRAN and DB2ACCT. Further with some
May 31, 2018 of the more recent changes in VMAC110 other than the
class 3 wait times and counts from DB2ACCT there is
not a lot of information added to ASUMUOW from the
DB2ACCT data. To suppress the use of DB2ACCT in your
ASUMUOW invocation all you need to do is to modify the
_LDB2ACC substitution macro to point to _NULL_ as shown
in this code:
%LET MACKEEP=%QUOTE(
MACRO _YESOBS %
MACRO _NOOBS %
MACRO _LDB2ACC _NULL_ %
);
OPTIONS SOURCE SOURCE2;
%INCLUDE SOURCLIB(VMXGUOW);
_NOOBS
OPTIONS NODSNFERR NOVNFERR;
_SUOWCIC /* SORT CICSTRAN DATA */
_SUOWDB2 /* SORT DB2 DATA */
_SUOWMQ /* SORT MQ SERIES DATA */
_SUOWSPN /* CREATE ASUMUOW DATASET */
%VMXGUOW;
_YESOBS
OPTIONS DSNFERR VNFERR;
The new VMXGUOW drops the DB2ACCT variables with the
above suppression, keeping only 99 in the new
PDB.ASUMUOW, previously there were 144.
Only comments were added in ASUMUOW with this example.
Change 36.106 TYPE42DS Encryption variables were INPUT but not KEPT nor
VMAC42 labeled nor formatted:
May 31, 2018 S42AMRIB='S42AMRIB*BYTES*READ'
S42AMWIB='S42AMWIB*BYTES*WRITTEN'
S42AMRBD='READ BYTES*DECRYPTED*OR ELIGIBLE'
S42AMWBE='WRITE BYTES*ENCRYPTED*OR ELIGIBLE'
S42AMRCI='VSAM*CI-S READ OR*PHYSICAL*BLOCKS'
S42AMWCI='VSAM*CI-S WRITTEN*PHYSICAL*BLOCKS'
With the large number of TYPE42DS observations, if you
want to only select datasets with encryption counts:
%LET MACFILE=
%QUOTE(IF ID=42 THEN DO; IF SUBTYPE=6; END; );
%LET MACKEEP=
%QUOTE(
MACRO _ETY42DS
IF S42AMRBD GT 0 OR S42AMWBE GT 0 THEN DO;
OUTPUT _WTY42DS;
END;
% );
%INCLUDE SOURCLIB(TYPE42);RUN;
which will only populate TYPE42DS when bytes GT zero.
Syntax note: The original MACFILE syntax suggested
%LET MACFILE= %QUOTE( IF ID=42 AND SUBTYPE=6; );
is fine for ONLY the TYPE42 program, but if that was
used with BUILDPDB, only the 42.6 would be read, hence
the above, safer selection will pass all other SMF
records in case you want to process other records.
Thanks to David Cogar, Wells Fargo, USA.
Thanks to Scott Barry, SBBWorks Inc., USA.
Change 36.105 Example SYSLOG processing TYPESYSL/TYPSSYSL/VMACSYSL that
TYPESYSL was added in 34.04 renamed TYPESYSX/TYPSSYSX/VMACSYSX due
May 24, 2018 to conflict with TYPESYSL dataset created by TYPETMNT.
Change 36.104 z/OS 2.4 SMF 30 enhancement adds these fields:
VMAC30 SMF30TIH='HWM*TIOT SPACE*USED'

Change 36.103 Format MGSTCCS for variable STC11CSP in STCVSM11 dataset
FORMATS has new value '8000'x='8000X:VSM6 FICON CHANNEL'.
May 23, 2018
Thanks to Randy Hewitt, DXC, USA.
Change 36.102 DB2 V11 APARS PI71903,PI84045,PI82755 added offsets _SC,
VMAC102 _PR, _INC, and _SQL to populate those fields that were
May 22, 2018 previously only in DB2 V12. MXG test changed to GE 11.1.
The timestamp variable QW0376TS in old data was invalid
(e.g. '1A6CE0BD12FCB083'x, a date in 1914!) and was set
to a missing value; now whatever is there is input so it
may still be incorrect.

Change 36.095 New 4-digit example format in tailoring IMACSMFF fails on
IMACSMFF WPS Version 4, under investigation, but add the comments
May 9, 2018 as shown here to circumvent:

END COMMENT */
The default IMACSMFF is always executed when SMF is read.
Change 36.094 MXG 35.12-36.04. If you use IMACFMTS to add your site's
FORMATS own FORMATs, the RUN; statement in member FORMATS after
Apr 10, 2018 the VALUE $MGRMVOS statement should NOT have been added.

READDB2 ended up in WORK rather than PDBOUT.
Apr 9, 2018
====== Changes thru 36.091 are in MXG 36.04 dated May 8, 2018==========
Change 36.091 If DB2ACCT existed but had 0 OBS input was set to _NULL_
VMXGUOW resulting in many UNITIALIZED variable messages. VMXGUOW
May 7, 2018 now checks only for the existence of the dataset and if
it does not exist sets it to _NULL_.
Change 36.090 If you tailored IMACDB2 to redefine MACRO _Lxxxxxx's and
ANALDB2R you specified only a single level name, so those datasets
May 3, 2018 are written to WORK, and did not specify a PDBOUT,
you could get this syntax error
ERROR: THE FUNCTION COMPBL REFERENCED BY THE %SYSFUNC
OF %QSYSFUNC MACRO FUNCTION HAS TOO FEW ARGUMENTS.
due to incorrect logic, now corrected, in ANALDB2R.
Originally posted to MXG-L as possible issue with SAS
V9.3 to V9.4 migration, the thread was updated/corrected.
Change 31.104, MXG 31.03, May 2013, created the exposure;
the user's good run was with MXG 31.01.

Apr 24, 2018 DCDTYPE ='ENCRYPTION*TYPE'
May 20, 2019 DCDKLBL ='ENCRYPTION*KEY*LABEL'
The IBM Documentation does not provide DCDTYPE values to
decode. These fields were added by z/OS 2.3.
-Unfortunately, DCDTYPE was changed from CHAR to NUM in
this change, which will cause ERROR BOTH CHAR AND NUM
if you merge PDBs built with this change with earlier
PDBs. You can use MACRO _KDCODSN DROP=DCDTYPE= % in
your SYSIN in your TYPEDCOL job to eliminate the conflict
to circumvent this badly designed change. May 20/2019.

Change 36.081 Support for four-digit SMF Record Type ID (MAX 2047) for
ANALID the ANALID report.
FORMATS -Format $MGSMFID text shifted one byte to the right; a few

VMACID -VMACID,VMACSMF formats are now SMFIDSUB $8. SMFIDCH $4.
VMACSMF increasing the LENGTH of those variables by one byte,
Apr 23, 2018 format 7.3 references are changed to 8.4 for IDANDSUB.
Apr 27, 2018 -Unfortunately, if you have used IMACSMFF to label your
user SMF Record Descriptions, you will need to replicate
all and insert a blank at the beginning of each existing
3-character record type, to match the new example in that
IMACSMFF member:
'2047.001'='2047.001:MAX POSSIBLE VALUE AND LABEL'
-One line summary report with total records and bytes and
the time range of the input SMF file is added.
Change 36.080 VMXGGETM utility accepts SMF selection syntax nnnn.mmm
VMXGGETM where nnnn is the SMF Record Type (max is now 2047) and
Apr 18, 2018 where mmm is the subtype. VMXGGETM creates an output SMF
file with example records of each selected type.
Change 36.079 -Support for new SMF 119 subtypes 24, 38, 39, 40, and 45.
EXT11924 creates these new datasets:

IFBITRATE='TOTAL*BITS PER*SECOND'
-CO:Z subtypes 192 and 193 are validated with data.
Change 36.078 z/OS, SAS 9.4 M3 with IBM DFSORT, ABEND 0C4 in SASVZSR1,
CONFIGxx when sorting a large dataset. SAS notes 57676 and 58629
Apr 17, 2018 circumvent the error with these options

but SORTBLKMODE has been the SAS Default for years. The
SORTBLKREC option is not yet documented by SAS.
http://support.sas.com/kb/57676
http://support.sas.com/kb/58629
This is documentation only, no code was changed.
Change 36.077 With a BY statement in your VMXGSUM INCODE, there is no
VMXGSUM guarantee that the data order will be correct, and if you
Apr 14, 2018 also %LET MXGSUMCLASS=YES or CLASSNWAY to YES, the data
May 8, 2018 step may fail. VMXGSUM now looks at the first word in the
INCODE= and if it is BY sets CLASSNWAY to NO.
Change 36.076 CICS Statistics Dispatcher CICDS dataset set DSGTWT to
VMAC110 DURATM when DSGTWT was greater (Change 35.264), but that
Apr 14, 2018 should only have been done for SMFSTRQT='INT' as DURATM
doesn't exist in the 'REQ', 'USS', nor 'EOD' records.
Thanks to Paul Volpi, UHC, USA.
Change 36.075 ACF2 INVALID SMF RECORD, ACSMFREL=0 VS 6.2, ERRRORABEND.
VMACACF2 MXG tests for the last release, 6.2, but new ACF2 record
Apr 14, 2018 has '00'x instead of '62'x in byte 119, causing MXG test
for 6.2 to fail. This change forces ACSMFREL=6.2 if it
is zero for this INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE to the ACF2 record.
The CA fix is PI24126 and a reassembly of DMGSMF exit.
Thanks to Michael K Yuan, Navy Federal Credit Union, USA.
Change 36.074 -Variables BETALOG in BETA50 and B97LOG in BETA9750 were
VMACBETA reversed, OFF was ON and ON was OFF, bit test corrected.
VMACBE97 -TYPEBE97 subtype 31 revised: like TYPEBETA, there can be
Apr 17, 2018 an R1 and R2 value for each FIELDNAME, but TYPEBETA PUT
May 15, 2018 the text value into a character variable for R1 and R2,
but those values were then difficult to test. TYPEBE97
instead creates nine pair of variables with true values
(like Dates, Times, HEX, etc).
Thanks to Andreas Menne, Finanz Informatik, GERMANY.

Change 36.071 IAM User SMF INPUT STATEMENT EXCEEDED because unexpected
VMACIAM short segment lengths IAMIAINL=148 (MXG expected 204) and
Apr 8, 2018 IAMIASTL=148 (MXG Expected 204) were encountered, and now
protected for these IAM 9.2 records.
Thanks to Paul Naddeo, FISERV, USA.
Change 36.070 VMXGDUR rejected INTERVAL=THREEHOUR but the warning
VMXGDUR message said that was correct. It was looking for THREEHR
Apr 8, 2018 but will now accept THREEHOUR, EIGHTHOUR, or TWELVEHOUR.
Change 36.069 Dataset CICSTRAN variables DURATM and DSGTWT were missing
VMXGCICI values in CICS Statistics SMFSTREQ='USS','REQ',or 'EOD'
Apr 6, 2018 records as the DURATM only exists in the 'INT' records.
But using the DIF(COLLTIME) a pseudo DURATM is created
and used to populate/correct DSGTWT and DURATM.
Change 36.068 -Two new enhancements.
ADOCRMFV -A new RMFBSAM record with an MXG01 id is now output
ASMRMFV for every successfully processed RMF III VSAM data set.
VMACRMFV VSAM attributes and statistics are included as well as
Apr 6, 2018 many ASMRMFV statistics and counters, and the record is
May 5, 2018 output in new dataset ZRBAS1.
May 9, 2018 -Between the existing MXG00 record and the new MXG01
record nearly all information on an ASMRMFV log is
captured. The MXG01 data becomes the ZRBASMDS (?) data
set in the result PDB.
-MXG01 records are only created for RMF III VSAM data sets
that open and close successfully. There are no MXG01
records generated for:
Empty VSAM data sets (VSAM considers this an error)
VSAM data sets that are not an RRDS type
VSAM data with an invalid CISIZE for RMF III data
VSAM data with an invalid LRECL for RMF III data
Non-VSAM data sets
The above conditions have been flagged in the ASMRMFV
Log for a long time.
-Two new parameters UPCASE/NOUPCASE control the handling
of values assigned in keyword=value usage.
-UPCASE (alias UC) is the default and provides the same
behavior as in prior ASMRMFV versions which force all
PARM and SYSIN (or alternative) input data to upper case
internally.
-NOUPCASE (alias NOUC) is the default and does not alter
any values assigned to a keyword. And thus lower case
values can be assigned to a keyword.
-However, for most (if not all) data filters currently
supported by ASMRMFV only upper case values are accepted.
For example, Sysplex Ids, System Ids, Job Names, Job
Classes, and so on are all required by IBM syntax rules
to be in upper case. Lower case values are flagged as
errors by ASMRMFV validation routines.
-NOUPCASE is a feature primarily intended for future
filtering enhancements where lower case values could
be accepted.
-NOINDEXES and/or NOSPACE parameters might not work
correctly in all situations and this has been corrected.
Messages were not always suppressed when they should
have been.
-Message RMFV105I produced for ASMRMFV Detail and
Summary reports now shows the full 5 character RMF III
table id instead of just the first 3 characters. This
change was needed to distinguish MXG00 and MXG01 output
record statistics.
-Minor changes to messages RMFV037I, RMFV041I, RMFV051*
(*= S,E,W,I), and RMFV106W.
-Several documentation Sections are updated to support
the above changes:
Section 5 "Input Data Selection Parameters"
Section 12 "Messages"
Section 31 "Summary"
Section 32 "Bibliography"
Change 36.067 z/OS, MXG's default CAPSOUT option causes lower case text
CONFIGxx to be upper cased, but MXG recommends NOCAPSOUT for ODS,
Apr 5, 2018 and the SAS default on z/OS is NOCAPSOUT. I don't know
why I changed the SAS default years ago, but "CAPSOUT" is
removed from all of the example MXG CONFIGxx members, so
your site's default value will be used.
Change 36.066 Support for "IBM Developer for z Systems IDZ" SMF 122
EXTY122A subtype 1 record creates new dataset TYPE122A. TYPE122A
IMAC122A is used because there is a TYPE122 record (that is/was?)
TYPE122A previously written by Tivoli Allocation. The Product Name
TYPS122A The Product Name field contains 'C2AE'x before and after
VMAC122A the name, where 'AE'x is the ASCII registered copyright
VMXGINIT symbol, but 'C2'x is a Danish A with a ring above! Both
Apr 4, 2018 are printed on ASCII SAS, but both are blank on z/OS, and
on z/OS lower case characters are converted to upper case
by the $ASCIIn. INFORMAT.
Thanks to Tory Lepak, Aetna, USA.
Change 36.065 AS400 7.3 QAPMDISK new fields below are now documented
VMACQACS and are added to QAPMDISK dataset, transparently.
Apr 3, 2018 MXG created the PCTCLEAN and DSFSMAPBY variables:
DSFSMAPSZ ='FREE SPACE*MAP 4K*PAGES*COUNT'
DSFSCLEAN ='CLEAN*4K PAGES*FREE SPACE*COUNT'
DSFSCLEAN0='LEVEL 0*CLEAN BLOCKS*PAGES 1-7'

====== Changes thru 36.064 are in MXG 36.03 dated Apr 2, 2018=========
Change 36.064 All updates in the Jan, 2018, SMF Manual are included in
SMF MANUAL MXG Version 36.03, except new SMF 122, which is not in
Mar 30, 2018 that SMF Manual.
Change 36.063 DB2 V9 ONLY, zero obs in DB2STATB and other statistics
VMACDB2 datasets listed in Change 35.299, which revised deaccum
Mar 29, 2018 logic and expected one minute statistics intervals, but
that IBM Change to force the DB2 Statistics Interval to
one minute wasn't introduced until DB2 Version 10!
Thanks to Don Blaszka, Wipro Limited, USA.
Change 36.062 Further VXBYUSR logic revised to use only 2 decimals for
VMACVMXA all _MT1 DIF() functions; these data have only two digit
Apr 1, 2018 time resolution, but the divide by 4096 produced false
digits in 3rd and 4th place that, coupled with these
very large 2-complement numbers, cause MXG to falsely
detect a break in deaccumulation. See also 36.052.
Change 36.061 Invalid SYTNLPS value in SYTCUP records prevented their
VMACXAM output; pending Velocity fix, SYTNLPS=(SEGLEN-28)/20; is
Mar 20, 2018 used to calculate the actual number of segments.
Change 36.060 Support for BMC Extended Buffer Manager XBM SMF Record.
EXXBMDS -The Data Set Statistics Record can have seven OIDs:
EXXBMCA OID Variables Segment
EXXBMCC 113 xbmDSSnn Dataset Statistics
EXXBMCE 113 xbmSDSnn Snapshot Data Set Statistics
EXXBMCS 154 xbmDB2nn DB2 Statistics
IMACXBM 158 xbmSUSnn Snapshot Utilities Statistics
TYPEXBM 199 xbmVSAnn VSAM Statistics
TYPSXBM 272 xbmEPSnn Extended Prefetch Statistics

VMXGINIT and all seven segments are output in XBMDSET dataset.
Mar 21, 2018 DDDDDD Dataset Description
XBMDS XBMDSET XBM Data Set Record
(Only the first four OID's have been data-validated).
-The Cache Statistics Record can have four OIDs,
1 xbmCSSnn Configuration Start Section
2 xbmCEEnn Configuration End/Stop Section
3 xbmCCCnn Configuration Change Statistics
106 xbmCACnn Cache Statistics Section
and each is output in a separate dataset:

XBMCA XBMCACHE XBM Cache Record
XBMCS XBMCSTRT XBM Configuration Start
XBMCE XBMCEND XBM Configuration End
XBMCC XBMCHG XBM Configuration Change
Thanks to Flavio Lima, MetLife, USA.
Change 36.059 -If you specified USERADD=ID a CHAR OPERAND FOUND IN %EVAL
UTILBLDP error indicated that a numeric was needed, which was due
Mar 21, 2018 to the compiler interpreting %STR(/VIEW=ID) as a formula.
Resolved by using %QUOTE rather than %STR, like the other
references in UTILBLDP.
-The SMF AUDIT report was not being produced, now is.
Change 36.058 Missing %END in PMAUD02 corrected and BEGTIME and ENDTIME
ANALDB2R parameters enabled for MXGDB2B1 report. MXG 36.02 only,
Mar 23, 2018 introduced by Change 36.048.
Thanks to Randy Hewitt, DXC, USA.
Change 36.057 Support for z/OS 2.3 RMF Changes (SHARE Sacramento 2018):
EXTY748S -Support for APAR OA53411 for more than 65535 devices adds
FORMATS SMF74SMF bit and populates existing SMF74LSN with a flag
IMAC74 when multiple logical SMF records were created, but these
VMAC7072 variables are not kept, and don't impact MXG's reading of
VMAC74 the individual physical SMF records; the variables are
VMXGINIT available in the EXTY74 exit, if ever of interest.
Mar 26, 2018 -Support for APAR OA50760 72.3/4, was in Change 35.125.
-Support for APAR OA50761 74.10, was in Change 35.273.
-Support for APAR OA52694 72.3 TYPE72TR+ in Change 36.050.
-Support for APAR OA50762 74.9 new bit existing R749FLAG.
-Support for APAR OA50693 70.2 CEX6C/CEX6A/CEX6P Crypto
updated $MGRMFCX/$MGRMFCY/MGRMFCZ formats.
-Support for APAR OA50755 74.1 was in Change 35.193.
-Support for APAR OA50755 74.9 was in Change 35.146.
-Support for APAR OA53411 adds 74.5 vars to TYPE74CA.
R7451SRR='SYNC I/O*CACHE*READ*REQUESTS'
R7451SRH='SYNC I/O*CACHE*READ*HITS'
R7451SWR='SYNC I/O*CACHE*READ*REQUESTS'
R7451SWH='SYNC I/O*CACHE*READ*HITSS'
-Support for APAR OA53411 74.8 adds new Synchronous I/O
Link Statistics Segment that creates new TYPE748S data
set with these variables:
R748SIID='SYNC*I/O*INTERFACE*ID'
R748STYP='SYNC*I/O*LINK*TYPE'
R748SSPD='SYNC*I/O*LINK*SPEED'
R748SWDH='SYNC*I/O*LINK WIDTH*LANES'

R748SNWO='NVS*BYTES*WRITTEN'
R748SNWS='NVS*WRITE*OPERATIONS'
R748SNWT='NVS*WRITE*TIME'
-Support for APAR OA51913, z14 physical core addresses
greater than 191, was protected in MXG 31.04, which
supports the maximum possible value of 255, even though
z/OS doesn't even support 191.
-Support for Jan 2018 SMF Manual and APAR OA52003 that
added these variables to TYPE74ST Structure dataset:
R744SIAD R744SADN R744SIXC R744SXSC R744SXST R744SXSQ
R744SADO R744SADR R744SQCH R744SXFL R744SWDR R744SWAC

R744SWED R744SWES R744SRED R744SRES
-Support for Jan 2018 SMF Manual which added to TYPE74DU:
R744RSST R744RIDP R744RCPI R744RCPN R744RSGS R744RSA1
R744RSA2 R744RSA3 R744RSA4 R744RSA5 R744RSA6 R744RSA7

R744RAMP R744RAMN
Change 36.056 zHyperwrite enables DB2 to perform parallel log writes to
VMAC74 PPRC primary and secondary volumes, but they are the same
VMAC79 4-hex-digit DEVNR, and because they can be concurrently
Mar 15, 2018 active, RMF Reports now display 5-hex-digit DEVNR, with
the first nybble containing the SubChannel ID, 'sdddd'X,
where the SubChannel ID is 0,1,2 or 3. No change was made
to the SMF 74/79 records, as the SubChannel ID is already
in those records, and the 5-hex-digit display is only in
RMF reports/data: they won't exist in other SMF records.
MXG variable DEVNR5HEX is created in TYPE74, TYPE74CA,
TYPE748 and TYPE796 as DEVNR5HEX=65536*SMF74SCS+DEVNR
with FORMAT DEVNR5HEX HEX5. format.
Change 36.055 New TYPE8231 dataset was misaligned and the VMXGINIT for
VMAC82 _WTY8231 thru _WTY8247 was corrected to write to WORK
VMXGINIT rather than to PDB.
Mar 13, 2018 -Mar 20: Invalid Subtype 31 with only 4 bytes for 0203 TAG
Mar 20, 2018 encountered, circumvented, and reported to IBM.
Apr 12, 2018 -Apr 12: MXG's problem was that the SMF82_TRIPL_LENGTH
field was presumed to be the length following it, but it
was 8 with when 4 bytes remained, so I presumed there was
truncated data for the TAG 0203 segment. IBM Support
responded with a very detailed decoding of the record
with their utility that matched MXG's values, concluding:
"To sum up, the length of 08 that you are referencing
does not mean that 8 bytes will follow. It means the
length in the record is composed of the length of the
data item (4 bytes) plus the length of the tag and
size info (another 4 bytes)."
While TAGs have different lengths, since each TAG's
length is fixed, MXG did not need to use that field,
so no MXG code change was required, and no data was
truncated.
Thanks to Andreas Menne, Finanz Informatik, GERMANY.
Thanks to David A. Hilliard, IBM Support, GERMANY.
Change 36.054 A missing paren caused BLDSMPDB to fail, and %macro
BLDSMPDB &PDBPATH was not initialized in PDBAUDIT. BLDSMPDB only
PDBAUDIT failed when MTD was used which then caused SAS to set
Mar 13, 2018 OBS=0 and caused PROC SQLs in PDBAUDIT to then fail.
PDBAUDIT is now protected for the 0 OBS case
Thanks to Harold Zbiegien, American Greetings, USA.
Change 36.053 INTBTIME and INTETIME variables are now all DATETIME25.6
BUIL3005 formatted, even though only those INPUT with TODSTAMP8
BUILD005 will have all six decimals populated, SMFSTAMP informat
SMFINTRV only has 2 decimals. INTETIME in SMF 91 with TODSTAMP8
VMAC30 informat forced the format change, since you can't have
VMAC91 different formats for the same variable name in datasets
Mar 8, 2018 created in the same DATA step.
Thanks to Randy Hewitt, DXC, USA.
Change 36.052 Revision to z/VM VXBYUSR logic to correct large values
VMACVMXA in many deaccumulated durations when there were multiple
Mar 7, 2018 logon values in CALTODON for the same user, and/or when
a guest has been relocated. Logic to recalculate DELTATM
from HFRATE*HFQCNT was causing output of first instances,
so it was removed. A heuristic was added to test that
the record DELTATM was not more than 2*INTERVAL since
that also detects a return of a relocate to delete.
See Change 36.062.
Thanks to Graham Harris, RBS, ENGLAND.
Change 36.051 Support for AS/400 Version 7.3 Collection Services.
VMACQACS -New GDES fields added to QAPMCONF dataset for keys
Mar 7, 2018 FL PM TY TZ T1 T2 T3 T4 U1 U2 U3 U4 XS
Mar 16, 2018 -New DATETIMECH,UTCTIMECH 26-character datetimes and
Mar 23, 2018 DSQUEOPS counter added to QAPMDISK record, which now
Mar 26, 2018 has LRECL=751 (YOU MUST SET IN YOUR JCL/FILENAME).
See change 36.065.
====== Changes thru 36.050 are in MXG 36.02 dated Mar 5, 2018=========
Change 36.050 TYPE72GO variables R723CPA_ACTUAL and R723CPA_SCALING
VMAC7072 added by APAR OA52694, were trashed because they were
Mar 2, 2018 input when they shouldn't have been; the test for INPUT
Mar 6, 2018 should have been GE 276 instead of repeated GE 268.
Mar 6: New variable ORG70CPA was added to TYPE70 and
TYPE70PR, but the label statement had OGT70CPA causing
a harmless UNINIT variable message on the log.
Thanks to Al Sherkow, I/S Management Strategies, Ltd.
Change 36.049 Change 35.200 left off the trailing / or ] on the
VGETALOC directory names if you did not supply it and it could
Mar 2, 2018 result in no allocations and a failure of a following
VMXGSET. Now if we don't find the / or \ we supply it.
Thanks to Richard Krueger, Sentry, USA.
Change 36.048 For PMAUD02 report SORTBY use is restored, but the first
ANALDB2R variable in the list must be QWHSSSID, and variables not
Mar 2, 2018 in the below list will terminate with error messages.
The default values are QWHSSSID QWHSSTCK; if that first
variable is not DB2 or QWHSSSID, QWHSSSID is inserted.
Allowed variables are:
DB2 - THE DB2 SUBSYSTEM ID
PLAN - THE DB2 PLAN NAME
AUTHID - THE AUTHORIZATION ID
CONNID - THE CONNECTION ID
CONNTYPE - THE CONNECTION TYPE
CORRID - THE CORRELATION ID
QWHSSSID - THE DB2 SUBSYSTEM ID
QWHCPLAN - THE DB2 PLAN NAME
QWHCAID - THE AUTHORIZATION ID
QWHCOPID - THE ORIGINAL AUTHORIZATION ID
QWHCCN - THE CONNECTION ID
QWACATYP - THE CONNECTION TYPE
QWHCCV - THE CORRELATION ID
QWHSSTCK - THE TIME OF THE EVENT
Thanks to Scott Swindling, PREMERA, USA.

Change 36.045 Support for enhanced Mobile Work 4HOUR MSU reporting.
FORMATS -New parameter, TYPE=, for the type of mobile work, to
MOBMWRT be added to your %MOBMWRT invocation in your MOBWRKxx
MOBWRK72 tailored members, where TYPE=DB2 CICS IMS WAS or MQ to
MOBWRK73 create the WORK.MWRT_BLD_SUM_&TYPE dataset that is then
MOBWRKMS used to create the new MOBILE.MSU_&TYPE dataset with the
Feb 28, 2018 4 hour rolling average MSU for that &TYPE of workload.
-MOBWRKMS provides reporting on the new &TYPE datasets.
-Some improvements in SMF70CPA calculation in MOBWRK73,
and ORIGCPUTM/CPUCPONLY/CICDSCPUTM are init to missing
in MOBWRK72.
-FORMAT mwrtdt is enhanced to support years beyond 2042.
Thanks to Al Sherkow, I/S Management Strategies, Ltd.
Change 36.044 The value you set in MACRO _IMSVERS mm.n % is now kept
VMACIMS in variable IMSVERS in IMS0708 and IMS07 datasets.
Mar 1, 2018 (The IMS56FA transaction dataset already has IMSVERSN
that is created from that IMS log record.)
Thanks to Alfredo Gonzalez, La Caixa, SPAIN.
Change 36.043 Initial support for NMON Nigel's Monitor for RHEL Release
EXRHELAA 14i with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.7.
EXRHELBP The data with 1 second interval is suspect as the times
EXRHELCI of the interval are often 2 or 3 seconds apart.
EXRHELME The developers page is at 'http://nmon.sourceforge.net'
EXRHELNS The BBBP fields are not currently decoded since the RHEL
EXRHELCD text is not consistent with the NMON contents.
EXRHELDS -Mar 6: FULLCOMD in RHELUARG expanded to 4096 bytes and

Change 36.041 The MXGERROR:MISSING TYPE70 message is now MXGWARN:MISS
VMXG70PR because it's only an alert to be examined (Change 36.026)
Feb 20, 2018 to see if the SYSTEMs listed are the systems of interest.
Only variables in dataset ASUMCELP observations for those
LPARs whose 70s were not read are impacted, and in many

a sandbox LPAR was not present in that day's SMF input.
Thanks to Ed Wieszczek, Zions Bank Corporation, USA.
Change 36.040 Support for IMS 56FA Record APAR UI50912. COMPATIBLE as
VMACIMS it uses a reserved field for the new TPCEXTOF offset to
Feb 19, 2018 the TPCE DSECT, but TPCEXTOF is zero so the extension
is not populated by THIS APAR, so it is also not input.

VMAC7072 the number of online ZIIP engines for each LPAR for each
Feb 19, 2018 interval.
Thanks to Kurt Gramling, TSYS, USA.
Change 36.038 The MXG "INVALID SMF 119 TYPE 81" message in MXG 36.01
VMAC119 bypassed an INPUT STATEMENT EXCEEDED LENGTH ERROR ABEND,
Feb 19, 2018 but I had misunderstood the DS_DOOFF offset to be the
offset into the SMF buffer to the DORU field; IBM L3
Support corrected me: it is the offset into the RU that
will be moved into the DORU field, if the DORU is larger
than 4096 bytes, so that the anomaly's data will be in
in the SMF record. The circumvention is removed and the
DORU variable is correctly populated.
-Variable IST119DS_SID was changed from numeric to char
with $HEX16. format.
Thanks to Gary Zaetz, IBM z/OS Communications Server Support, USA.
Thanks to David Campbell, SUNTRUST, USA.
Change 36.037 Variable QWHSACE was missing from the BY list for dataset
VMACDB2 ZZDB2SBP causing READDB2/TYPEDB2/BUILDPDB to ABEND with
Feb 19, 2018 INPUT STATEMENT EXCEEDED. This code has been executing
and accidentally working since MXG 35.10, last year,
before two site's data records with multiple QWHSACEs
exposed my coding error.

During testing of this update, Error Message UNDECLARED
ARRAY YPE8231 (note T is missing) was caused by VMXGINIT
typo setting PTY8231=DEFAULT instead of setting WTY8231.
Just a developers note as for that " YPExxxx" error text
shows up in testing from time to time.
Change 36.035 If the last engine type in an LPAR was an IFL, the MXG
VMAC7072 calculation of LPARSHAR/LPARSHAC and LZIPSHAR/LZIPSHAC
Feb 14, 2018 was incorrect in the TYPE70 dataset.
Thanks to Andrew Petersen, DXC, AUSTRALIA.
Change 36.034 Some debugging options added when MXGEXIMSG=YES and a bad
VGETOBS branch to end modified so that if the dataset you seek
Feb 14, 2018 does not exist and debugging is on you will get the
message that it did not exist.
Change 36.033 Analysis of different I/O counts between SMF 42 subtype 6
ANAL4274 and type74 subtype 1.
Feb 13, 2018
Change 36.032 WebSphere INVALID Subtype 9 messages were cause by the
VMAC120 absence of ELSE clauses that are now corrected.
Feb 12, 2018
Thanks to Jim Horne, Lowe's, USA.
Change 36.031 INVALID DB2 RECORD CREATED BY ASG/TMON is NOT an ASG
VMACDB2H issue, but rather is due to BMC APPTUNE SMF 102 records
Feb 11, 2018 with Data Sharing Group sections that were incorrectly
decoded by MXG logic, now corrected. The ERROR is real
in that observations were NOT output in some datasets.
Thanks to Jan Tielemans, KBC, BELGIUM.
Change 36.030 Old-style substitution macro _HSMINTV added so you can
ASUMHSM easily change the default HOUR interval to you choice.
Feb 6, 2018 If you want the interval to be QTRHOUR and the final
output written to dataset HSM.QTRHOUR, you would use:
%LET MACKEEP=%QUOTE(
MACRO _LSUHSM HSM.QTRHOUR % /* SETS OUTPUT DSN */
MACRO _HSMINTV QTRHOUR % /* SETS INTERVAL */
);
%INCLUDE SOURCLIB(ASUMHSM);

Thanks to Paul Volpi, UHC, USA.
Thanks to Jack Hyde, UHC, USA.
Change 36.028 Change 35.124 introduced code that stopped PDBAUDIT with
PDBAUDIT a memory limitation problem with WPS when more than 20
Feb 8, 2018 LIBNAMEs were found. Change 35.201 then accidentally
circumvented that error by removing duplicate entries,
but the real error was that DICTIONARY.MEMBERS returned
all libname.member entries, (THOUSANDS in MXG QA JOB),
rather than the LIBNAME entries from DICTIONARY.LIBNAMES.
The error message is inactive.
Thanks to Earl Kline, Luminex, USA.
Change 36.027 More invalid LENSR=304 and 448 for SMF 42 Subtype 5;
VMAC42 IF LENSR IN(232,240,320,400,448,480) THEN LENSR=160;
Feb 8, 2018 The line was also moved up to after the DO because
those large values with lots of SR segments caused the
MXG test for INVALID SR Length exceeds record length.
The correcting APAR number is OA54663, but it did not
acknowledge the multiplicity of incorrect values when
it "Updated SMF42SRL to contain only length of SMF4205A".
Thanks to Luis Mendoza, Black Knight, USA.

====== Changes thru 36.026 are in MXG 36.01 dated Feb 6, 2018=========
Change 36.026 MXGERROR:MISSING TYPE70 RECORDS impacts ASUMCEC/ASUMCELP
VMXG70PR datasets, with some incorrect values in those datasets
Feb 5, 2018 when those messages are printed, not just SMF70LAC, when
either the data from a system is not input, or if your
LPARNAME/SYSTEM/SYSNAME/SMF70STN names are inconsistent.
Change 35.144 introduced the message and provided a way
if your SMF70STN matches LPARNAME, but you may need the
below logic to create consistent names.
%LET INCODE70FOR70PR=%QUOTE(

Change 36.024 Support for ThruPutManager Release/Version 18.02 COMPAT,
VMACTPMX PTF Level TMT7113, adds new variable JXJBSTXT to dataset
Feb 1, 2018 TYPETPMX, with label 'JXJBSSYSAFF*TEXT'.
Long labels and variables with blank labels corrected.
Thanks to Scott Barry, SBBWorks Inc., USA.
Change 36.023 Yet another ID 42 ST 5 INPUT STATEMENT EXCEEDED due to
VMAC42 yet another invalid LENSR of 232 that should be 160.
Jan 29, 2018 NOW: IF LENSR IN(232,240,320,400,480) THEN LENSR=160;
See Change 35.302 and 35.305 original invalid LENSRs.
IBM APAR OA54663 has been opened to fix the reported
problem. (Note IBM calls it "reported", apparently
until they have accepted and fixed the issue!)
Thanks to Bradley A. Foxhall, BNY, USA.
Change 36.022 Support for Liberty 8.9.1.0 SMF 120 Subtype 100 (COMPAT)
VMAC120 added two new fields to dataset TY120100:
Jan 29, 2018 SM120RULEXSIZE='RULESET*SIZE IN*NUMBER*OF RULES*/
SM120RULEXPNUM='RULESET*NUMBER OF*PARAMETERS*/
-Unknown Subtype logic added to print a hex dump if found.
Thanks to Paul Volpi, UHC, USA.
Thanks to Jack Hyde, UHC, USA.
Change 36.021 Allocation utility VMXGALOC is enhanced so that if your
VMXGALOC have specified DB2KEEP=0 or CICSKEEP=0 or SPINKEEP=0, the
Jan 25, 2018 directories are not created. This is primarily for
specialized tailoring where you want to send output data
to different directories than the normal PDB processing,
as SPIN CICSTRAN and DB2 are neither needed or desirable
with those arguments (DAILYDSN being a good example).
Change 36.020 ASCII version of JCLDAYDS that uses the SAS FTP engine to
ASCIIDSN process TMC and DCOLLECT data.
Jan 25, 2018
Change 36.019 Change to output dataset label to reflect the correct
TRNDDSNS source of the data.
Jan 25, 2018
Change 36.018 Obscure DB2 GTF file ASCII-only conversion utility to
UDB2GTFA assemble 256 byte pieces had the COL=OUTCOL that should
Jan 25, 2018 have been COL=OUTLOC, causing no output records. Was NOT
reported, accidentally discovered. But nasty to find.
Change 36.017 INVALID SMF 119 SUBTYPE 81 RECORD has IST1219DS offset
VMAC119 of 2899 and IST1219DS length of 2164 but the record is
Jan 25, 2018 only 3076 bytes long, causing INPUT STATEMENT EXCEEDED.
Test added to print MXGERROR and delete the record while
opening a problem with IBM support.
Thanks to David Campbell, Suntrust, USA.
Change 36.016 Enhancement to create optional SMFHEADER dataset with
TYPEID selected variable from the SMF header when READSMF=YES
VMXGINIT is used. These two macros (default blank) enable:
Jan 24, 2018 %LET SMFHEADERDATASET1=
PDB.SMFHEADER (KEEP=SYSTEM SMFTIME ID SUBTYPE) ;
%LET SMFHEADERDATASET2=
%QUOTE( OUTPUT PDB.SMFHEADER; ) ;

Change 36.015 Variable CPUID $EBCDIC8 ERROR when TYPEBETA and TYPE70
VMACBETA records were processed together - CPUID is a numeric but
Jan 24, 2018 VMACBETA had an incorrect/old BETA93 reference.

Change 36.014 ANALHSM Report 3 Title was overlaid if BYVAL was used.
ANALHSM
Jan 22, 2018

Change 36.013 Documentation only. APAR OA27291 corrects ABEND S0C4 if
NEWSLTRS USEZOSV1R9RULE(NO), the default, is used with Netview
Jan 22, 2018 NvDM at z/OS 1.10 or higher, in DIAGxx member of parmlib.
Thanks to Lizette Koehler, Albertsons/Safeway Stores, USA.
Change 36.012 The created GMTOFF30 value could be .01 seconds more or
VMAC30 .01 less than the exact hourly offset when SMF30IST was
Jan 22, 2018 not the same second as INTBTIME, complicated by the two
different resolutions, .01 in SMF30IST/SMFSTAMP8/local,
.000001 in the higher resolution INTBTIME/TODSTAMP/GMT,
the only source of the GMT delta in SMF 30s. This change
impacts variables ACTDLYTM EXECTM INTBTIME INTETIME and
SYNCTIME with the PROC COMPARE difference less than .01.
And note that if you have not specified SYNC in SMFPRMxx,
the TYPE30_V/SMFINTRV datasets are useless for any type
of interval totals.
Change 36.011 -MXG 35.09-36. Using %PDBAUDIT(LIBNAMES='Not _ALL_",
PDBAUDIT overriding the internal _ALL_ default, the program
Jan 19, 2018 failed with a syntax error pointing to a Paren.
-If LIBNAMES=PDB was used, and //PDB DD is tape, the
program fails with PDB.PDBAUDIT NOT FOUND, because the
option EXCLUDESEQ=YES is the default to NOT READ tape
PDB libraries. Now, if your PDBAUDIT= is on tape, and
EXCLUDESEQ=YES, the program will tell you that you must
change that to NO, so the program will report on the
contents of the tape Data Library, but there is no output
of the PDB.PDBAUDIT dataset to that tape, as that could
destroy existing datasets on the sequential mode tape.
-It is NOT recommended that you build your PDB on tape
because of performance issues: tapes have no directory
so the full tape has to be read to determine its contents
for PDBAUDIT, and worse for BUILDPDB, where datasets are
written AND read-from the //PDB, each reference has to
start at the beginning of the tape and read all data
to get to that dataset.
-If you do want your daily PDB on tape, you should write
to temp DASD for the //PDB, to eliminate the rereads, and
then PROC COPY from //PDB to tape after all your reports
were created from the temp DASD PDB. And, since this PDB
for BUILDPDB is NOT on tape, PDB.PDBAUDIT will be created
and output to the temp PDB so it is included in the copy.
-Note that if you do use EXCLUDESEQ=NO with PDB on tape,
there are no observation counts in the PDBAUDIT reports.
Thanks to Peter Ten Eyck, American National, USA.
Change 36.010 TYPE73 dataset variable CHFXRATE should have been divided
VMAC73 SMF73PTI, the corrected elapsed time, and not by DURATM.

VMAC89 ICN1674.
Jan 16, 2019
Change 36.009 Message: INVALID TYPE 0 RECORD with LENGTH=70 was deleted
VMAC0 but that length is now valid when SMF0TBUF was added, but
Jan 18, 2018 its length was not added to the test for valid lengths.
The test for each valid TYPE 0 record length is needed
because, many times, sysprogs installing a product that
writes SMF records, incorrectly fail to set a record ID
and the product writes type 0 records, which were not
valid IPL records, and thus were deleted by MXG, with
the message. I failed to add 70 to the test.
-And, this site had records that were LENGTH=52 that are
not IPL records, accidentally written. Do you recognize
what product has values like these in that record?:
CHAR ;... 3....E09ZBLOK. .. 3....LIDPOST BLKLDPSTLOADED 52

Change 36.008 Variable TTAPLDAT in dataset TYP11902 was mis-aligned due
VMAC119 to INPUT that should have been INPUT @OFF11905 TTAPLDAT.
Jan 15, 2018
Thanks to Bob Davidson, LloydsBanking, ENGLAND.
Change 36.007 Scott Barry posted the UTILBPV program to examine the BVP
UTILBPV cylinder value to minimize wasted space in the Cylinder
Jan 15, 2018 Managed Area using EAV Volumes, using your DCOLLECT data.
Datasets larger than the BPV value are written to the
Cylinder-Managed Space, while dataset smaller than BPV
are written to the Track-Managed Space.
Thanks to Scott Barry, SBBWorks Inc., USA.
Change 36.006 -CICS/TS 5.3 new CPU variables in Statistics CICM dataset:
VMAC110 MNGCPUT ='TOTAL*CPU*TIME'
Jan 15, 2018 MNGTONCP='TOTAL*CPU*TIME*ON CP'
MNGOFLCP='TOTAL*CPU*TIME*OFFLOAD*ON CP'
-Variable MNGWLMCC now tests the correct bit.
Thanks to Scott Barry, SBBWorks Inc., USA.
Change 36.005 -TYPE115 header variable QWHSDURN in SMF 115 subtype 231
VMACDB2H has a value that requires a divide by 4096, while that
VMAC115 same field in all other SMF 115 subtypes is microseconds.
Jan 18, 2018 -Header variable QWHSTIME and QWHSDURN are added to all
Feb 2, 2018 datasets that have the 52-byte DB2 QWHS header segment:
MQMLOG MQMBUFER MQMCHIN MQMDSP MQMADP MQMSSL MQMDNS
TYPE115201 TYPE115215, subtypes 1, 201, 215, and 213.
-Variable QIS1EXPF is INPUT and kept in TYP115201 dataset.
-The BY lists for 1155/115A/115L/115N were revised and now
duplicates are removed (the 1155 and 1156 have MANY dupes
normally).
-Variables QSSTCN64/QSSTCR64, ABOVE THE BAR CONTRACTIONS
and SHORT ON STORAGE counts added to MQMLOG dataset.
Thanks to Giuseppe Giacomodonato, EPVTECH, ITALY.
Change 36.004 Correction for DB2 V11 IFCID 376 INPUT STATEMENT EXCEEDED
VMAC102 STOPOVER ERROR because the code incorrectly expected the
Jan 14, 2018 V12 truncated offsets that are now unread with DB2 V11.
Thanks to Scott Barry, SBBWorks Inc., USA.
Change 36.003 -TYPE70TR TRG dataset misalignment was corrected when data
VMAC7072 records were received from IBM, but with these questions:
VMAC89 Split 70 records have a 70 TRG segment in each record,
Jan 17, 2018 and the second record's TRG data is identical.
-TYPE72TR TRG dataset has negative values for R723TSUCP:
IBM RMF replies: Negative values can occur in certain
cases. When transaction processor usage is reported to
WLM through IWM4RPT or IWM4MNTF services, the consumed
service units are accounted to the transaction service or
report classes, and deducted from the region's service
and report classes. If the number of transactions is very
small and a single transaction reports high processor
times, it can occur that processor times become negative.
R723CETSX is natively in "squared microseconds" but is
converted to "squared millisecs" to match R723CETS units.
-TYPE89 documentation had offset at 64 with length 80, but
actual offset/length are 36/52, causing the original MXG
code to not INPUT the TRG TRO/TCO segments, so datasets
TYPE80TI, TYPE89R1, and TYPE89R2 had zero observations.
-With these changes, Tenant Resource Group, TRG datasets
have been validated with data.
Change 36.002 See Change 36.135.
VMACPOEX
Jul 20, 2018
Change 36.001 TYPETCP (SMF 118) APISTART datetime was on GMT, the only
VMACTCP field with SMFSTAMP informat not on local time zone.
Jan 9, 2018 Labels with MBYTES changed to BYTES since they all use
the MGBYTES format that prints the suffix letter.

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
that will be corrected in SAS Note 61672 defect. See Change 35.308
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-M4 or SAS Version 9.3 M0-M2.
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 35.36 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 Seven and
Eight (64-bit) on 64-bit hardware, and sometimes on Centos 6.4,
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 z/EC12 with 85+ engines required MXG 30.07.
Support for 255 engines was added in MXG 31.04.
The z/13 with 61+ LPARs requires MXG 32.05 IF NON-SMT MODE.
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.
Availability dates for the IBM products and MXG version required for
error-free processing of that product's data records:

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 35.36.
1. Incompatibilities introduced in MXG 35.36:
a- Changes in MXG architecture made between 35.36 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 35.309 are in MXG 35.36 dated Jan 13, 2018=========
Change 35.309 All of these macros have both a DDNAME and a DATASET
VGETFMT parameter but if you specified DATASET=PDB.dataset they
VGETLABL would all fail since they looked for WORK.PDB.dataset.
VGETLEN This change looks at the code and if DDNAME is null looks
VGETVAR at dataset and uses the first 'word' delimited by '.' of
Jan 8, 2018 DATASET as the DDNAME and the second for the DATASET. If
there is no '.' then DDNAME is set to &MXGWORK.
Change 35.308 SAS defect in SAS 9.4 M5 PROC SQL, only M5 on z/OS, when
ASUMUOW PROC SQL is executed after OPTION OBS=0 was set, caused
Jan 6, 2018 "SQL SET NOEXEC OPTION" error message and ERRORABEND.
Error occurred in default ASUMUOW, but ONLY if you did
NOT enable IMACUOW to create observations, as then, MXG
sets OBS=0 prior to this failing PROC SQL (which had no
prior error message than the NOEXEC and which is still
under investigation by SAS Support: SAS NOTE 61672.
The circumvention is to add NOERRORSTOP to this PROC SQL
and to the several hundred other PROC SQLs in 51 members,
and do it now to hopefully avoid the need for a SAS fix.
Most of the SAS examples of PROC SQL use NOERRORSTOP and
no MXG written PROC SQL has ever had a syntax error, so
this circumvention will likely be permanent.
Option ERRORSTOP is the SAS Default for batch, and it
determines whether PROC SQL stops executing if it
encounters an error; option NOERRORSTOP instructs PROC
SQL to execute the statements and to continue checking
the syntax after an error occurs.
Change 35.307 ANALDB2R fails with broken DO syntax due to Change 35.263
ANALDB2R (MXG 35.11) which incorrectly set the count of SORTBY=
Jan 6, 2018 arguments, resulting in an error in the data steps, if
option PDBOUT=PDB is used.
Thanks to Harald Seifert, HUK-COBURG, GERMANY.
Change 35.306 UTILBLDP with SUPPRESS=74 variable DEVN NOT FOUND ERROR.
UTILBLDP If you specified SUPPRESS=74 the sort of the TYPE74CA
Jan 6, 2018 dataset failed with BY variable DEVN not found.
When UTILBLDP found RMF datasets that are needed for
RMFINTRV are SUPPRESSED, we chose to still create them in
WORK so that RMFINTRV would find them and not fail.
But a change to SUPPRESS logic nulled MACRO _CDE74 and
only 16 variables were kept (those that were INPUT in the
other _CDEnnnn macros), and the _STY74 failed.
This change reinstates the logic that nulls the _Sxxxx
macro for suppressed RMF records so sorts will not fail,
but if you also want RMFINTRV to be valid, but don't want
the high volume TYPE74's processed, then you should use
ZEROOBS=74 so the datasets will be created but with zero
OBS, so RMFINTRV will be happy.
Change 35.305 -Jan 04: MXG 35.35 didn't protect LENSR=480 length, caused
VMAC42 STOPOVER if you happen to have that length/APAR.
Jan 4, 2018 -Jan 04, IBM confirmed their incorrect values and will now
set SRLEN=160, and note that that does NOT include the
SYNC segment's 80 bytes when present.
-Change 35.302 in MXG 35.36 was the original change.
-Change 36.023 in MXG 36.01 added invalid LENSR=232.
Change 35.304 New variables in TYPE71 in z/OS 2.3:
VMAC71 SMF71L8M ='MIN 1MB*FRAMES*IN CSTORE'
Jan 4, 2018 SMF71L8X ='MAX 1MB*FRAMES*IN CSTORE'
SMF71L8A ='AVG 1MB*FRAMES*IN CSTORE'
SMF71L9M ='MIN 1MB*AVAILABLE*FRAMES*IN CSTORE'
SMF71L9X ='MAX 1MB*AVAILABLE*FRAMES*IN CSTORE'
SMF71L9A ='AVG 1MB*AVAILABLE*FRAMES*IN CSTORE'
SMF71L10M='MIN 1MB*FRAMES*IN-USE BY*MEM OBJECTS'
SMF71L10X='MAX 1MB*FRAMES*IN-USE BY*MEM OBJECTS'
SMF71L10A='AVG 1MB*FRAMES*IN-USE BY*MEM OBJECTS'
====== Changes thru 35.303 are in MXG 35.35 dated Jan 3, 2018=========
Change 35.303 One z/OS SAS 9.4 M5 site gets SQL SET NOEXEC OPTION that
VMXGUOW terminates the job, currently under investigation by SAS
Jan 4, 2018 support, but adding NOERRORSTOP option to the PROC SQL
does circumvent the error, so it has been added to the
one failing PROC SQL in hopes thats the only one needed.
This note will be revised when more is known.
Change 35.302 SMF 42 st 5/6 with OA54112 now has three SRLEN values of
VMAC42 of 240 and 400, and 480 from OA52132/OA52133/OA61745 in
Jan 2, 2018 Change 35.289, and all three are wrong.
Jan 3, 2018 The actual length of the SR segment in each record is
Jan 4, 2018 variable, with 160 bytes if there is no SYNC segment, or
240 bytes when the SYNC segment is present. All three
are now protected. The error caused STOPOVER ABEND.
-New variable S42SNCONC='CONCURRENT*SYNC I/O*READ+WRITE'
added to TYPE42SR and TYPE42DS datasets.
-Jan 03: another incorrect SRLEN value of 320 protected in
MXG 35.36.
Thanks to Harald Seifert, HUK-COBURG, GERMANY.
Change 35.301 If in your ASUMUOW you defined _LDB2ACC as something
VMXGUOW other than DB2ACCT.DB2ACCT (like DB2.DB2ACCT) and the
Dec 30, 2017 DDNAME did not exist in your LIBNAME or DD statements
ASUMUOW would ABEND with a LIBREF not found. Now the
code looks for this condition, gives you an MXGWARN
message and sets _LDB2ACC to _NULL_ so that ASUMUOW
will run.
Change 35.300 The CPUPHYAD format could fail to be created with error
VMACRMFV messages of overlapped values, when there were multiple
Dec 31, 2017 values of CPUPHYAD (CEC Speed), as when you change the
number of engines for an LPAR; that error caused the
TYPERMFV job to ABEND USER 999.
Thanks to MP Welch, Bank of America, USA.
Change 35.299 Luminex now offers a small Linux appliance called an MDI
MDIADHOC (Mainframe Data Integration) that provides another way to
MDIJCL move MXG jobs off of zOS and onto an ASCII platform. Jobs
MDIJCL1 are still submitted from zOS, so your scheduling system
MDIJCL2 is still in control, but the actual processing of the SMF
MDIJCL3 data occurs on the LINUX platform, and the output PDB's
MDIJCL4 live on storage attached to the MDI. Reports can be sent
MDIPDB back to zOS or routed on your network wherever the MDI
MDIPDB1 can attach. Each job uses 2-3 virtual tape devices, for
MDIPDB2 the SMF input, the SASLOG, and the SASLIST. One site had
MDIPDB3 1TB of SMF, split when SMF was dumped into three outputs,
MDIPDB4 DB2, CICS, for each of 12 LPARS, so 36 concurrent jobs
Dec 31, 2017 processed that data in a bit less than two hours on a
Jan 6, 2018 single MDI.
These sample members provide examples of JCL and code
to run jobs on the MDI. The JCL is very case sensitive
and casing for program names must match the case as
stored in your USERID.SOURCLIB. Also the names and case
of the LOG and LIST datasets in the LUMXPROC must match
the program name.
MDIJCL /MDIPDB runs a basic BUILDPDB adding the 42
and 6156 data to the PDB using
UTILBLDP and BLDSMPDB wirh AUTOALOC
MDIJCL1/MDIPDB1 runs a basic BUILDPDB adding the 42
and 6156 data to the PDB using
UTILBLDP and BLDSMPDB wirh AUTOALOC
and suppressing CICS and DB2 data
MDIJCL2/MDIPDB2 runs VMXGALOC with READONLY=YES
(which suppresss the aging of the
directories) and then runs TYPS110
and CICINTRV.
MDIJCL3/MDIPDB3 runs VMXGALOC with READONLY=YES
(which suppresss the aging of the
directries) and then runs READDB2.
MDIJCL4/MDIPDB4 runs VMXGALOC with READONLY=YES
(which suppresss the aging of the
directries) and after MDIJCL2 and
MDIJCL3 have run will run ASUMUOW.
MDIADHOC JCL for adhoc reporting allows you to
write your program on z/OS and run the
MDI.

====== Changes thru 35.298 are in this MXG 35.12 dated Dec 26, 2017=====
Change 35.298 While all MXG Variables are upper case, mixed case names
VGETFMT are allowed, so you can easily create variable names with
VGETLABL lower case characters, but the listed macros all failed
VGETLEN to find those variable names. The macros are revised to
VGETVAR UPCASE both sides of the compare without changing the
Dec 23, 2017 returned variable name.
Change 35.297 Support for BETA 93 Version 610 (update) and 620 (added).
EXTYBETK -BETA1 blank values for BETADCR corrected and new vars:
EXTYBETL I001PTYPE='PROTOCOL*TYPE'
EXTYBETM I001IPADDR='IP*ADDRESS'
EXTYBETN I001HOST ='HOST*NAME'
FORMATS I001PORT ='HOST*NAME'
VMACBETA I001QUEUE ='HOST*NAME'
VMXGINIT I001FFPARM='HOST*NAME'
Dec 23, 2017 -Support for 620 new subtype 59 creates three datasets and
subtype 22 record is now decoded and creates BETA22VAL:
TYBETK BETA59 SUBTYPE 59 STC START/STOP
TYBETL BETA59RFF SUBTYPE 59 SFF JOB STATS
TYBETM BETA59SFF SUBTYPE 59 SFF JOB STATS
TYBETN BETA22VAL SUBTYPE 22 VALUES
Change 35.296 A WHERE clause in PROC SQL is case sensitive, and if you
VGETLABL create your own variable NAMEs with low case characters,
VGETFMT your variable will NOT be found; only upper case variable
VGETLEN names are found. MXG does not create low case names, and
Dec 20, 2017 cannot detect them in the WHERE clause. No code changed.
Change 35.295 Support for 164-byte DBCTL segment for CICSTRAN dataset.
IMACICDB
Dec 20, 2017
Thanks to Ervin Claxon, CSX Technology, USA.
====== Changes thru 35.294 are in this MXG 35.12 dated Dec 20, 2017=====
Change 35.294 SMF 116 records with MQMSSSID mismatched to QWHSIDMQ
VMAC116 printed MISMATCHED message on the log for every mismatch;
Dec 19, 2017 now, only the first three are printed.
Thanks to Denise Williers, Wipro, USA.
Change 35.293 &MXGCIEXC is a new "exit" for UTILEXCL wherein you can
UTILEXCL correct mispellings in USER CMODHEAD field that cause the
VMXGINIT DUPLICATE CONN report (same offset has two names, usually
Dec 19, 2017 caused by a typo by the CICS SYSPROG who does the DFHCT
assembly of that Monitor Control Table). This change
circumvents the need to reassemble. You would use:
//SYSIN DD *
%LET MXGCIEXC=
%QUOTE(
IF CMODHEAD='PSB ACTV' THEN DO;
PUTLOG _N_= CMODNAME= CMODHEAD=
SMFPSRVR= MCTSSDRL= MCTSSDCN=;
CMODHEAD='PSB ACTI';
END; );
%INCLUDE SOURCLIB(UTILEXCL);
_BLDDICT _BLDEXCL _RPTEXCL
Thanks to Denise Williers, Wipro, USA.
Change 35.292 A utility to Compare numeric variables values in OLD and
UTILCMPR NEW versions of the same SAS dataset, using PROC MEANS to
Dec 30, 2017 compare the value of each statistic of each variable.
%UTILCMPR(IN1=OLD.ZRBASI,IN2=NEW.ZRBASI);
Change 35.291 GCHART AXIS statements were made compatible with WPS
GRAFCEC 03.03.02.00.0222553, and some code was simplified and
GRAFLPAR logic added to STOP if no obs in RMFINTRV and to not
GRAFWRKX plot eligible times if there were none.
GRAFWRKC The WPS graphs are printed in different order, all for a
Dec 15, 2017 particular metric, whereas SAS prints all for an LPAR.
Jun 28, 2019 While GRAFLPAR is supported, it is obsolete and GRAFCEC
should be used instead, as it has superior reports.
Jun 28, 2019: This statement is not true in WPS 4.1.
-As WPS does not support SGPLOT, GRAFWRKC plots had to be
duplicated using the GBARLINE and GCHART procedures and
INCODE= added for data selection.
Change 35.290 Clear of _HSMPLEX macro added at end so that you can
ASUMHSM execute ASUMHSM multiple times in a single job.
Dec 13, 2017
Change 35.289 Support for TYPE42 APARs OA52132, OA52133, and OA61734,
VMAC42 originally coded in Change 35.240, has now been revised.
Dec 12, 2017 A Subtype 5 STOPOVER was caused by new records with the
SRLEN=480 but with actual SR Segment length of 160, or
240 if the new SYNC segment is present, but the actual
length of the SYNC segment is 80 bytes with APAR only
documenting 72. Finally, records with SRLEN=208 and no
SYNC segment are written with only 160 bytes documented.
Change 35.288 Support for new TYPECONF GKEYPM variable and new length
VMACQACS of QAPMDISK of 695 to align those records, although no
Dec 11, 2017 new fields are input in this iteration, awaiting doc.
Thanks to Larry E. Hanus, DST Systems, USA.
Change 35.287 -MXG 35.10 and 35.11 RMF III ZRBASI deaccumulate was WRONG
VMACRMFV DESIGN: should NOT replace ASICPUTA with ASICPUTA_LF, and
Dec 15, 2017 WRONG IMPLEMENTATION: insufficient QA tests, causing the
Dec 21, 2017 value in both variables to be frequently wrong, and if
there were multiple CEC Speeds (CPUPHYAD values) the MSU
value in ZRBASICPUMSU=ZRBASI*CPU MSU*COUNT was wrong.
-This change restores the original ASICPUTA value and the
deaccumulated higher resolution value is in ASICPUTA_LF
so YOU can choose to use the variable of YOUR choice.
-This change also adds variable CPC_CECNAME to ZRBLCP and
ZRBLCPLPAR datasets, and creates a format for CPUPHYAD
lookup (by SYSPLEX SYSTEM) from ZRBCPU to pass CPUPHYAD
into the ZRBASI dataset for MSU calculations.
-Duplicate ASI records for the same task in an interval do
exist, as when a task changes it's JOB name, and they are
visible in RMF III reports, but the deaccumulate can be
a missing value as IBM has not provided a way to identify
which was the first observation and which was the second.
In addition, records with seconds of CPUTCBTA value and
microseconds for CPUTCBTA_LF have been observed, so the
value of using CPUTCBTA_LF needs to be examined in your
data. These issues are open with RMF development, and
this text will be updated when more is known.
-Dec 21: Invalid INPUT for PHYCPUAD message had no impact
but was corrected; was printed when no ZRBCPU matched.
Thanks to MP Welch, Bank of America, USA.
Change 35.286 MXG variable IOTMNOCA, uncaptured IO Connect Time in 30s,
BUILD005 was incorrectly calculated in BUILDPDB and SMFINTRV using
BUIL3005 SMF30AIC-IOTMTOTL instead of -IOTMDASD causing negative
SMFINTRV values. But SMF30AIC is the connect time for the ASID
Dec 6, 2017 and Dependent Enclaves, but does NOT include FICON chans
which could also cause negative values.
Thanks to Randy Hewitt, DXC Technology, USA.
Change 35.285 Support for Container Pricing in RMF 72 records creates
EXTY72TR new TYPE72TR dataset for Tenant Resource Group that are
IMAC7072 added by APAR OA52694. TYPE72TR has the same variables
VMAC7072 that are in TYPE72GO with new variables for TRG
VMAC79 R723GGTI='TENANT*IDENTIFIER'
VMXGINIT R723GGTN='TENANT*NAME'
Dec 7, 2017 R723GGKY='TENANT*SOLUTION*ID'
R723GGTF='TENANT*RESOURCE*GROUP?'
and these variables added to both TYPE72GO and TYPE72TR:
R723CPA_ACTUAL ='PHYSICAL*CPU*ADJUSTMENT*FACTOR'
R723CPA_SCALING='SCALING*FACTOR*FOR*R723_ACTUAL'
-Flag variables added to TYPE792 and TYPE795 dataset
R792FLG32='R792RGRP*IS A*TRG?'
R795FLG6='R795RGRP*IS A*TRG?'
Change 35.284 -MXG 35.11 inserted statements to create ZRBCPUxxxMSU vars
VMACRMFV incorrectly inside MACRO _EZRBCPU and _EZRBLCP definition
Dec 6, 2017 causing UNINIT variable if you had tailored EZRBCPU.
Dec 8, 2017 -Missing values for ZRBCPUZIPMSU were corrected. The new
Dec 9, 2017 ZRBLCPLPAR dataset requires the CPUG3 CPCDB, and SSHG3
tables, or ASMRMFV Table IDs of CPU and CPC, since SSH is
always selected.
Thanks to MP Welch, Bank of America, USA.
Change 35.283 Support for APAR OA52828 which allows customization of
VMAC0203 the size of the SMF Temporary Buffer used to hold SMF
VMAC7 data during IPL processing.
VMAC23 TYPE0 dataset new variable
Dec 5, 2017 SMF0TBUF='SMFTBUFF*PARAMETER*SPECIFIED*MEGABYTES'
TYPE7 dataset new variable
SMF7TBLS='BYTES LOST*DURING SMF*INITIALIZATION';
TYPE23 dataset new variable
SMF23MBU='MAX BYTES*STORED IN*SMFTBUFF'
Change 35.282 A new set of variables added to TYPE70 and RMFINTRV to
VMAC7072 capture the number and usage of IIP, IFL, and ICF CPS
VMXGRMFI for the platform (CEC).
Dec 5,2017 PLATZIPCPUS - The number of IIPs on the CEC
PLATZIPBUSY - The total % busy of all the IIPs
PLATIFLCPUS - The number of IFLs on the CEC
PLATIFLBUSY - The total % busy of all the IFLs
PLATICFCPUS - The number of ICFs on the CEC
PLATICFBUSY - The total % busy of all the ICFs
Change 35.281 TACI802 dataset variable FINTIME was not converted from
VMACMVIP GMT to LOCAL Time zone.
Dec 4, 2017
Thanks to Paul Volpi, UHC, USA.
Change 35.280 The Exit member EXDB2STS and _EDB2STS macro are now used
VMACDB2 to give control of the output of PDB.DB2STATS; previously
Dec 6, 2017 defined but not used.
Thanks to Scott Barry, SBBWorks Inc., USA.

Thanks to Scott Barry, SBBWorks Inc., USA.
Change 35.277 Support for IFCID=225 new fields in DB2STAT4 dataset:
VMACDB2 QWA225PRISTG_PAGE /**DBM1*PRVT ELIG*PGSTEAL*/
Nov 28, 2017 QWB225PRISTG_PAGE /**DIST*PRVT ELIG*PGSTEAL*/
Dec 6, 2017 IBM DSECT notes these fields contain:
Number of Private discarded pages eligible for Page
Steal. Currently backed frames which are still charged
to DB2, minus this count, is the true REAL Storage
usage at this time.
I can not find the "currently backed frames" fields and
have asked IBM for help; this note will be updated when
the correct fields are known so the usage variable can
be created.
IBM DB2 Support response Nov 30:
All IFCID225 fields are described in the dataset
'DSNB10.SDSNIVPD(DSNWMSGS)'. It does not look like we
capture that statistic. The values are captured from
RMF and are included with DB2 statistics records to
assist with reporting. Anything not contained will
still be available in RMF.

Nov 19, 2017 the new parm EATTR=OPT was enabled for non-VSAM datasets,
so they can reside on EAV volumes, but that was not
supported until SAS 9.2
Thanks to Jeffery Kirsch, Compuware, USA.
Change 35.267 -DB2 Netezza IDAA variables Q8STDSKB and Q8STDSKU were
VMACDB2 both wrong; Q8STDSKU was incorrectly multiplied and DSKB
Nov 17, 2017 was missing that multiplication.
-Variables Q8STINSC/UPDC/DELC/DRPC/CRTC/CMTC/RBKC/OPNC
WERE ALL WRONGLY SET EQUAL TO Q8STACPU.
Thanks to Giuseppe Giacomodonato, EPVTECH, ITALY.
Change 35.266 SMF ID=2 SYSTEM=DUMY "SMF Signature Enabled" records that
VMACSMF are only 14 bytes were still created after APAR OA50483
Nov 17, 2017 was installed, causing INPUT STATEMENT EXCEEDED error, as
MXG expected these records to contain additional data in
either a subtype 1 or 2 record. Now, MXG tests for the
length=14 and deletes these 'DUMY' records, silently.
The APAR reported the exposure was only when Logstream
data is read, and infrequently.
In IBM's unstated defense, the "subtypes are valid" bit
wasn't turned on, justifying the original 14 byte length,
but MXG had keyed off that unique system name of DUMY.
If you see the DUMY in a hex dump, you can circumvent
with MACRO STOPOVER MISSOVER % as your first //SYSIN.
to prevent the ABEND until you have this VMACSMF update.
Update: See Change 38.033.

Change 35.265 MXG 35.10. BPHITRAT always missing in DB2STATB because
VMACDB2 line 4057 (BPHITRAT=.;) should have been deleted. You
Nov 14, 2017 can recalculate in your reporting using

(QBSTGET-(QBSTRIO+QBSTSPP+QBSTDPP+QBSTLPP))/QBSTGET;
ELSE BPHITRAT=.;
Thanks to Rick Southby, Insurance Australia Group, AUSTRALIA.
Change 35.264 CICS interval statistics in the Dispatcher Records, CICDS
VMAC110 dataset, have the sum of DSGTDT+DSGTWT, DISP+WAIT time
VMXGCICI that is greater than the interval DURATM, with DSGTWT as
Nov 14, 2017 much as 5900 seconds for a 3600 second interval (and the
DSGTDT in those segments are milliseconds or less); that
sum was used calculate STARTIME and DURATDS. Now, DURATM
is stored in DSGTWT and used for calculations, and then
DSGTWT=DURATM-DSGTDT recalculates the possible wait time.
See Change 36.076.
-The message "ERROR: IF YOU USE CICINTRV..." when MXG
detected the condition (DURATM GT INTERVAL REQUESTED)
is change to "MXGWARN:..." as few actually use CICINTRV.
-This data has only been seen from ancient CICS/TS 4.2.
Thanks to Ed Wieszczek, Zions Bank, USA.
Change 35.263 If you didn't specify a SORTBY= parameter for the ACCOUNT
ANALDB2R report, it could fail trying to resolve a macro variable
Nov 10, 2017 that did not exist.
Thanks to Harald Seifert, HUK-COBURG, GERMANY.

Change 35.259 -RMF III Interval MSU variables in ZRBASI/ZRBCPU/ZRBLCP
VMACRMFV with these counts of Million Service Units
Nov 8, 2017 ZRBASICPUMSU='ZRBASI*CPU MSU*COUNT'
Nov 12, 2017 ZRBCPUCPUMSU='ZRBCPU*CPU MSU*COUNT'
Nov 18, 2017 ZRBCPUZIPMSU='ZRBCPU*ZIP MSU*COUNT'
Nov 24, 2017 ZRBLCPCPUMSU='ZRBLCP*CPU MSU*COUNT'
Nov 30, 2017 where the Software MSU Coefficient CPUPHYAD is used by
ZRBCPUCPUMSU=CPUPHYSI*CPUPHYAD/1000000;
So, an LPAR in a CEC with CPUPHYAD=20000, with the CPU
Partition Dispatch time of 15 seconds in an interval,
would have an MSU Count = (15*20000)/1000000 =0.3 MSU.
If the interval duration was one minute, the IBM ACT
"Actual" MSU on the RMF III CPC report, a projection
of this interval's value to an hourly total as if all
intervals were this value, would be 60*0.3=18 MSU per
hour, which is the value in this new variable:
ZRBLCPCPUMSUHR='ZRBLCP*IBM ACT MSU*PROJECTED*HRLYMSU'
-Dataset ZRBLCP contains data on ALL LPARS in a SYSPLEX,
reading data from only one SYSTEM in that SYSPLEX, but it
has an obs for each LCPUADDR in each LPAR. This change
creates new ZRBLCPLPAR dataset when ZRBLCP is sorted,
with the LPAR totals for each LCPUPRTY engine for each
interval, but there is no 4HR AVG MSU variable in ZRBLCP.
To create ZRBLCPLPAR the CPUG3, CPCDB and SSHG3 tables
are needed.
-The actual IBM 4HR MSU (CPUAVG4H) is in ZRBCPU dataset
at one minute or even 30 second intervals, but you have
to read the data from every system to populate ZRBCPU for
all LPARs.
-MXG 35.10, the deaccumulation of the six ZRBASI variables
(actually added by z/OS 2.2) was not sufficiently tested
and could have incorrect values in these variables:
ASICPUTA_LF ASITCBTA_LF ASIIOCNT_S ASITRCA_S ASITET ASITRT
for jobs that have duplicate names with different ASID-NR
and only if you used TYPSRMFV or _SZRBASI to sort ZRBASI.
The new-in-35.10 MXG deaccumulation of CPU_LF fields by
_SZRBASI failed to include the ASID number, PERIOD, and
JCTJOBID to deaccumulate those six variables.
The ZRBASI dataset created by TYPERMFV was not in error.
-As documented in Change 35.249, the value in ASICPUTA is
is larger with 35.10 because the higher resolution CPU in
ASICPUTA_LF is stored in ASICPUTA, with ASICPUTA_ORIG
keeping the original lower value.
-Nov 30: LPARNAME in ZRBCPU is now always populated.
Change 35.258 35.09-35.10, Macro Language error, missing double periods
ANALID in line ANALID: &PDBMXG..SMFRECNT DOES NOT EXIST;
Nov 7, 2017
Change 35.257 Power Exchange User SMF INPUT STATEMENT EXCEEDED ERROR;
VMACPOEX the record should have 21 POEX segments but has only 3,
Nov 7, 2017 and the last segment is only 90 versus 95 bytes.
This change will be updated when the vendor's records are
correct. This was from 9.6.1, but I've recently read
that version's records with no errors.
Thanks to Tracey Davidson, USBank, USA.
Change 35.256 No code change, but a new example using PROC SQL to read

Thanks to Rick Southby, IAG, AUSTRALIA.
Change 35.253 Some of the macro variables coming back from PROC SQL
PDBAUDIT are longer than the 262 character literal length since
Nov 5, 2017 the spaces count and could generate spurious messages
particularly in the QA stream.
Change 35.252 MXGWARN message variable JESNR missing value and blank
VGETJESN TYPETEST is suppressed for records with SUBSYS='SMS' and
Nov 4, 2017 JCTJOBID='INIT'; variable values are unchanged as those

VMACRMFV changed CPUHOOFF offset value caused some variables to
Nov 3, 2017 be wrong, notable the Capacity Group Name and adjacent.
-Variable ASICPUTA in ZRBASI dataset will be larger with
this change, as IBM has added new accumulated ASICPUTA_LF
(long float) field with higher resolution, which is now
deaccumulated and REPLACES ASICPUTA's original value.
New variable ASICPUTA_ORIG contains the original value.
The ASICPUTA_LF was 18% larger than ASICPUTA_ORIG.
-These accumulated fields are also now deaccumulated:
ASITET ASITRT ASITCBTA_LF ASIIOCNT_S ASITRCA_S
Thanks to Kurt Gramling, TSYS, USA.

Change 35.247 Removed a debugging statement and corrected an 'uninit'
ANALDB2R variable message
Oct 30, 2017 -If you used INTERVAL=, BEGTIME=, or ENDTIME= and did not
specify a SORTBY= the default is BY QWHSSSID QWHCPLAN and
QWHCAID, so datetime variable QWACBSC is not carried
forward and no accounting report was created; this could
also cause duplicate variables in SORTBY list if QPACPKIC
PACKTYPE or QWHSTCK were in the tailored SORTBY list.
Change 35.246 -SMF 113/HIS formulas for the z14 were updated by IBM with
ASUM113 L3P changed, which is also impacted the RNI value which
VMAC113 uses L3P.
VMACVMXA -The z13 code set the SM1132SP Speed value to 5000 because
Oct 27, 2017 the value was wrong, but that code was removed for the
z14, as those records contain the expected 5208 MHz.

DEDUP701 due to the Split 70s duplicates, added SMT merges and the
Oct 20, 2017 multiple datasets that create TYPE70 that prevent the use
of the normal NODUP in the final sort to remove dupes.
Hash logic from ANALDUPE is executed in the IMACFILE exit

Change 35.233 Protection for truncated SMF 80 Extended Relocate segment
VMAC80A with 12 fields expected but only 10.5 fields are in the
Oct 19, 2017 SMF record. MXGERROR for the first three instances.
Record may have been truncated by ftp processing.
Change 35.232 Documentation. The zIIP CPU time for BMC Utilities is
TYPE30 not recorded in SMF 30 records for the JOB/ASID of the
Oct 19, 2017 Batch Utility job, but is in the 30s for BMC's XBM
Started Task. IBM Utilities do record zIIP CPU time in
the SMF 30 for the batch job.
Change 35.231 Macro variable RACFDIRECTED allows DELETE of RACF records
VMAC80A using the SMF80DTP/RACFTYPE=44 relocate segment, using
VMXGINIT segments with the subkeyword/EV44TXT='ORIGINATED_FROM'.
Oct 18, 2017 MXG now populates variables NODE80A USERID and DIRECTED
Dec 7, 2017 with values of DIRECTED_BY_AT, DIRECTED_BY_ONLY_AT or
DIRECTED_AUTOMATICALLY. You would use this syntax:
%LET RACFDIRECTED=
%QUOTE( IF NODE80A IN ('NODE1','NODE2') AND
USERID IN ('USERID1','USERID2')
THEN DELETE; ) ;
%INCLUDE SOURCLIB(TYPS80A);
-Dec 7: NODE was changed to NODE80A to avoid a conflict if
TYPE80A and TYPE6 were used together. The three fields
are created for the test but are not kept.

Thanks to Joan T. Keemle, John Deere, USA.
Thanks to Francois Vancoppenolle, P&V Group, BELGIUM.
Change 35.230 -GRAFCEC adds graphs of CPU and zIIP hours and the 4HR MSU
GRAFCEC Avg consumption. GRAFCEC now creates all of the charts
GRAFLPAR previously produced by GRAFLPAR, plus some new ones, thus
Oct 17, 2017 GRAFLPAR obsolete. And GRAFCEC now allows multiple input
libnames. Dataset ASUMCELP must exist in the first data
library and must have non-zero obs, or GRAFCEC will die
with a dataset not found error.
-GRAFLPAR error if you specified PDB=PDB PDB1 and using
SAS/GRAPH, it failed trying to write the graphics catalog
to two libnames. Catalog will only be written to the
first of the two or more libnames specified by PDB=.
But note GRAFLPAR is now obsolete, replaced by GRAFCEC.
Thanks to Daniel Mckinzie, Zions Bank, USA.
Change 35.229 -Revised logic for DB2 Statistics Datasets deaccumulation
VMACDB2 now protects for lost/skipped intervals of input data for
Oct 23, 2017 for these datasets:
DB2STATB DB2STSBP DB2GBPST DB2NETZA
DB2STAT5 DB2STAT0 DB2STAT1 DB2STATR.
Large gaps (like missing a day) with repeated values in
QWHSISEQ caused large DURATM which caused BEGTIME to be a
different date. Since DB2 SMF 100 stat records can only
be written at one minute intervals, MXG now detects a gap
of more than 120 second as the start of a new interval,
and it is DIF()'d but not output.
However, neither BEGTIME nor ENDTIME are on the minute
DURATM values of a few seconds up to 100 seconds have
been observed, hence the test value of 120 seconds.
-DB2STATS Variables QISEDPSL QISEDPSC QISEDPSM QISEDPSF
were incorrectly input with DB2 V11; the test GE 32 is
corrected to GE 232 for their input.
Thanks to Giuseppe Giacomodonato, EPVTECH, ITALY.

Change 35.227 If you specified RMFINTRV=NO many bad things could have
UTILBLDP happened. First, if you did not also suppress one or
Oct 17, 2017 more of the records used by BUILDPDB, then RMFINTRV=NO
was ignored because the code looking for it was inside
of the SUPPRESS= logic. If you DID suppress something
then you could have hit a problem with a missing %
sign on a MACRO.
-User ABENDS are replaced by messages on the OUTFILE to
tell you there was an error that terminated UTILBLDP.
-if you suppress type 26 without specifying J2 or J3
it will now generate an error
-if you useradd 102 without specifying the subtype
it will now generate an error
Thanks to Trevor Holland, ANZ, AUSTRALIA.

Oct 10, 2017
Thanks to Derek Purves, FDIC, USA.
Change 35.225 -New UTILBLDP Parameters EXPDBVAR/EXPDBCDE/EXPDBOUT added
UTILBLDP to enable more tailoring and specifically to make it easy
Oct 8, 2017 to create a new dataset with a subset of variables and
obs from an existing MXG dataset, like this example to
create new CICSTRIM dataset with a subset of CICSTRAN
variables, and output only for selected CICS APPLIDs:
USE EXPDBVAR TO BUILD A SUBSET OF CICSTRAN DATA FOR
REPORTING PURPOSES
%UTILBLDP(OUTFILE=INSTREAM,
BUILDPDB=YES,
OUTFILE=INSTREAM,
EXPDBVAR=
CICSTRIM (KEEP=APPLID TRANNAME STRTTIME ENDTIME

AND APPLID
IN('CICSZFN3','CICSAUD3','CICSDBS')
THEN OUTPUT CICSTRIM;
OUTTPUT _WCICTRN; %
);
Change 35.224 The _N110 "Product Null Macro" to suppress all CICS data
VMAC110 sets for tailoring had new datasets added which caused
Oct 8, 2017 only one dataset listed per line; that statement now has
two datasets per line, half as many lines/bytes.
Change 35.223 The extra zVPS/XAM SYTCUP segment with totals was not
VMACXAM included in the SYTNLPS count of segments, and there is
Oct 7, 2017 no LENDATA value for each subsegment, so MXG assumed 20
for LENDATA and detected the extra subsegment when SEGLEN
was NE 20*SYTNLPS, but the 35.09 correction statement
SYTNLPS=SYTNLPS+1 was mistyped as SYTNLPS=SYTNLPS=1; so
only one obs per LPAR was output in XAMSYT dataset.
But other MXG corrections have increased the obs count,
depending on past MXG Version (eg. 35.06 to 35.09).
There will be one obs for each LCPUADDR in each LPARNAME,
and an extra "total" obs with LCPUADDR='60'x (doc '40'x)
for each Engine Type in each LPARNAME, but these "total"
obs all have zero values in 4303 and 4313 releases.
There are also a pair of original LPARNAME='Totals'
subsegments at the start of each SYTCUP segment that are
not output by MXG.

VMAC119 a debugging asterisk left where it shouldn't have been in
Oct 4, 2017 line 2942 of VMAC119.
Thanks to Paul Volpi, UHC, USA.
Change 35.219 MQMACCT variable NETSNAME is created from QWHCTOKN if it
VMAC116 is populated, or from QWHCNID in not, but the format of
Oct 4, 2017 the raw data is different; heuristics were revised to
recognize two formats found in this site's data, with
values AAAAAAAA.BBBBBBBB if QWHCTOKN is populated or
values CCCCCCCC.L when QWHCTOKN is not populated.
NETSNAME is also kept in MQMACCT1 and MQMQUEUE but it
should not have been, as it is always blank for those two
datasets. And NETSNAME is not populated in MQMACCT
observations from BATCH/TSO Attach.
Thanks to Jim Poletti, Edward D Jones, USA.
Thanks to Art Morelock, Edward D Jones, USA.
Change 35.218 XAMSYPUP dataset's INPUT is now correctly aligned once it

FORMATS the ANALID SMF Report (default is on in BUILDPDB).
Oct 2, 2017 Also option UNIFORM was added to the SUMMARY PROC PRINTs.
Thanks to Scott Barry, SBBWorks Inc., USA.
Change 35.216 New macro that lets you 'join' variables from DB2ACCT
JOINDB2 to the corresponding DB2ACCTP observations. Written
Oct 2, 2017 specifically to capture QWACWLME since the DB2ACCTP
records do not contain the QWAC segments but will
copy as many variables as you like from DB2ACCT to
DB2ACCTP. NOTE: QWACWLME only exists in DDF records
and that is by IBM's design.

Change 35.215 TRENDINT defaulted to WEEK rather than the value of the
VMXGRMFI INTTRND macro variable as documented. Also the TRNDRMFI
TRNDRMFI member was updated to include the TRENDINT parameter so
Oct 2, 2017 that you can more easily see how to modify the interval.
Thanks to Steve Carlson, UCOP, USA.
Change 35.214 Modified for efficiency. If you specify ROLLSORT=NO
UTILROLL it now uses PROC APPEND instead of a data step which had
Sep 30, 2017 to read both the input (ROLLTO) and output (ROLLFROM)
datasets.
Change 35.213 z/VM variable VMDUFACT in dataset PDB.VXBYUSR should not
VMACVMXA have been deaccumulated as it is an end of interval count
Sep 28, 2017 of frames.
Thanks to Graham Harris, RBS, ENGLAND.
Change 35.212 Support for SMF 30 User Key CSA Audit Enhancements adds
VMAC30 new SMF30_RAXFLAGS to TYPE30_1, TYPE30_V, TYPE30_4 and
Sep 28, 2017 the TYPE30_5 datasets. This code change has been in MXG
Feb 28, 2018 35.09 and later, but this change text replaced previous
"Reserved Change" on Feb 28, 2018. This field was added
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 ASM DSECT Lengths, no MXG impact
OA53289 Corrects value of SMF30HVR from zero to valid.
OA45767 APAR that added the extra triplet caused OA53434
Change 35.211 Documentation. Variables QWACWLME QWACBSC QWACESC should
VMACDB2 not have been kept in DB2ACCTP after IBM moved the DB2
Sep 27, 2017 Package Data (IFCID 129) to its own ID=101 Subtype=1
record, which does not contain a QWAC segment.
Thanks to Glen Bowman, Wakefern, USA.
Change 35.210 Support for z14 SMF 113 records (INCOMPAT, EXTENDED array
ASUM113 now has 128 entries). Default LABELs are now for z14.
VMAC113 To change the default labels for z13, you would use:
Sep 27, 2017 //SYSIN DD *
Oct 1, 2017 %LET MACKEEP= MACRO _XLA113 _XLA113D % ;
%INCLUDE SOURCLIB(TYPS113,ASUM113);
To create correct labels with both z13 and z14 data, you
must create separate datasets:
//SYSIN DD *
%INCLUDE SOURCLIB(VMACF113);
DATA PDB.ASUM1131Z13;
LABEL _XLA113D ;
SET PDB.ASUM1131;
IF SM113VN2=4;
DATA PDB.ASUM1131Z14;
LABEL _XLA113E ;
SET PDB.ASUM1131;
IF SM113VN2=5;
RUN;
Many of the RNI and other equations were changed for z14.
-You can use OPTIONS OBS=99; _RPT113; RUN; to print those
calculated variables values from PDB.ASUM1131, the data
set you should use, as it contains interval data. The
original ASUM113 data set was accumulated and obs were
lost in deaccumulation.
Thanks to Elie Sawaya, RBC, CANADA.
Change 35.209 -Support for BETA 93 Version 610, altered header fields
FORMATS and three new variables are added to dataset BETA0:
VMACBETA BETAPABS='MAX*PABS'
Sep 29, 2017 BETASPAG='FIRST SPLIT*OVER GT*1 PAB'
Nov 22, 2017 BETABMOD='PAB PAGE*BREAK*MODE'
-New values added to $MGBETAT format for BETA0.
-Support for subtype 51 RDATA1 and RDATA2 fields and
all segments are read and output - previously the first
segment was repetitively output.
See Change 36.074 for Subtype 51 update.
Thanks to Andreas Menne, Finanz Infoirmatik, GERMANY.
Change 35.208 Nigel's Monitor for AIX and LINUX changed BBBP Endtime
VMACNMON was always "HH:MM" text, but new "N MINS" tripped MXG
Sep 27, 2017 variables BBBPENDING051, UPHOURS, and BBBPENDING052,
UPTIME.
Thanks to Steve McCulloch, TMS/CDS Group, CANADA.
Change 35.207 Enhancement for GDG datasets to add FIRSTGEN and LASTGEN
VMAC6156 values of GATGEN to know the range of Generation values.
Sep 25, 2017 No change, but variables GATEXTNO GATVER GATGEN GATWRAP
are from each GAT segment, so they should not have been
kept as they contain only the value of the last cell.
Thanks to Satish Kodavatiganti, John Deere, USA.
Change 35.206 If you need ACCOUNTn fields for long-running STCs in your
BUILD005 PDB.SMFINTRV dataset, you had to set SPINCNT in IMACSPIN
BUIL3005 longer than the number of days between IPLs; if you had a
VMXGINIT smaller value, then only that number of days of the
Sep 25, 2017 PDB.SMFINTRV would have the ACCOUNTn fields populated.
This change creates optional macro variable &SPINSTC to
enable this change and to keep that many day's SPIN30_1
for STCs in the SPIN library for STC accounting, and you
can then set a much smaller value for the spining of you
other jobs. Use %LET SPINSTC=365; to keep a year's data.
A large SPINCNT used to be important when you had lots
of held print output, since BUILDPDB waits for the
PURGE (26) record to know all SMF records for the job
have been created. But now, with output typically sent
to a spool handler, almost all jobs PURGE right after
they terminate on z/OS, so now, you can set a small
SPINCNT (1 or 2) and only SPIN the jobs that were in
execution when SMF was dumped, or that run for more
than a full day or two.
Thanks to Gennady Katsnelson, IBM Global Technology Services, USA.
Change 35.205 Documentation of what is counted in SMF 30 EXCP counts,
TYPE30 from a posting to IBM-Main:
Sep 25, 2017 The EXCP count fields count whatever the IOS Driver
decided to pass into SMF in the IFASMFEX exit that
accumulates the type 30 EXCP fields.
For example:
-For SAM, EXCP (an IOS driver) lets SAM do the calls
to IEASMFEX.
-For non-SAM use of EXCP, EXCP calls IEASMFEX with
a count of 1 so for non-SAM use of EXCP, it is the
count of EXCPs
-And IEWFETCH (an IOS driver which fetches load modules)
counts the number of SSCH for non-VIO data sets, and
uses EXCP for VIO data sets. So either way, it is the
number of channel programs executed.
Thanks to Jim Mulder z/OS Diagnosis,Design,Development,Test IBM Corp
Change 35.204 Support for DB2 APARs PI71903 and PI84045 adds these
VMAC102 new variables to IFCID 376 T102S376 dataset:
Sep 28, 2017 QW0376SC='SCHEMA*NAME'
Oct 11, 2017 QW0376PR='SPECIFIC*NAME'
Dec 7, 2017 QW0376INC='INCOMPAT*PARMS'
QW0376SQL='SQL*TEXT';
Dec 7: Offsets for VL/VN corrected, no data for these
new fields yet.
Thanks to Lori A. Masulis, FMR, USA
Thanks to Steve McKee, FMR, USA.
Change 35.203 z/VM 6.4.17.1 INCOMPATIBLE, fields inserted in SYTCUP and
EXSYTLCX SYTLCK, and new VXSYTLCX data set created.
VMACVMXA -In SYTLCK when there are no shared/exclusive lock entries
VMXGINIT (CALNMSXE=0) there are 8 bytes inserted where that second
Sep 28, 2017 array should not have existed.
-In SYTCUP, SKIP logic was not correct with new data.
Thanks to Dr. Wolfgang Kueller, IT Solutions, AUSTRIA
Change 35.202 Typo TEN should have been TUE. Most likely not an issue
VMXGALOC since that section of code was only used to CLEAR any
Sep 18, 2017 exising LIBNAMEs before allocating new ones (which in
any case would happen when a new LIBNAME statement was
issued).
Thanks to Steve Bagshaw, Marks & Spencer, ENGLAND.
Change 35.201 Modified to limit the number of LIBNAMEs reported where
PDBAUDIT the path name is the same. First looks for a PATH where
Sep 18, 2017 the LIBNAME is PDB and deletes any other LIBNAMEs with
that path then sorts on PATH and LIBNAME eliminating
all but the first occurrence of each PATH so that there
are not a lot of duplicate lists. Needed for MXG QA.
-A new parameter PATHLIST= added with a default value
of NO. Change to YES to create report of the LIBNAMES
by PATH. Useful if you are running with AUTOALOC=YES.
Change 35.200 New BLDSMPDB parameters support writing daily, weekly,
VMXGALOC monthly and trend "PDB's" to different paths (drives or
VGETALOC directories). All default to the BASEDIR if left blank.
BLDSMPDB BASEWEEK= sets the location of weekly database
Sep 13, 2017 BASEMONTH= sets the location of monthly database
BASETREND= sets the location of TREND database
If you choose to use these new destinations for your
output of BLDSMPDB, be aware and use caution since the
old destination's files will NOT be aged off, nor will
they be allocated for monthly/weekly processing. You will
need to copy old data from the old path to the new path.
Change 35.199 z/OS 2.3 type 90 subtype 38 INPUT STATEMENT EXCEEDED due
VMAC90A to incorrect offset and field length in the GA SMF manual
Sep 17, 2017 for SMF90T38_UTOKENUSERID which is 16 not 8 and at offset
112 and not 118. Subtype 38/39 datetimes are now local.
Thanks to Bernie Ethridge, Fiserv, USA.
Thanks to Paul Naddeo, Fiserv, USA.
Change 35.198 z/VM 6.2.11 SYTLCK "BROKEN RECORD" error because SKIP was
VMACVMXA not calculated correctly.
Sep 11, 2017
Thanks to Kare Martin Torsvik, EVRY, NORWAY.
Change 35.197 IMF CIMSTRAN dataset datetime variables all now have
VMACCIMS microsecond resolution; MXG had overlooked the MIJUs.
Sep 16, 2017 ACTARRV ARRVTIME STRTTIME TRNETIME ENDTIME TRNSTCKE
Oct 26, 2017 INPQUETM, SERVICTM and RESPNSTM are now calculated from
those datetimes for microsecond resolution.
Thanks to Randy Hewitt, DXC Technology, USA.
Change 35.196 Support for BETA 97 extended header (INCOMPATIBLE) V 610.
EXTYB97D All variables in all datasets are now INPUT and correct.
IMACBE97 New dataset BE979751D is created from Subtype 51 with the
VMACBE97 database field details.
VMXGINIT

Thanks to Andreas Menne, Finanz Infoirmatik, GERMANY.
Change 35.195 Support for PRCPUP segment in zVPS XAMSYS records creates
EXXAMPUP new dataset DDDDDD DATASET DESCRIPTION
IMACXAM XAMPUP XAMSYPUP PRCPUP DATA
VMACXAM -The test for invalid SYTCUP segment was revised when the
VMXGINIT old test incorrectly reported an invalid segment.
Sep 15, 2017
Change 35.194 Unrequested log messages containing MXGDEBUG: VMXGOPTR
ANAL116 were printed if you %LET MXGDEBUG= to a non-blank value.
ANALDB2R The LENGTH(&MXGDEBUG) test was removed from VPUTMSG and
ASUMDB2A relocated to each calling member, with revised logic:
ASUMDB2R %IF %UPCASE(&MXGDEBUG) NE VMXGSUM1 %THEN %DO;
ASUMNTIN %VMXGOPTR(OPTNAME=NOTES,NEWVALUE=NONOTES);
TESTTRND %END;
TRNDNTIN The MXGDEBUG macro variable is primarily for internal MXG
VGETALOC testing and it exists in only a few members; the enable
VMACDB2 values are documented in each member's test statements.
VMXG70PR With this correction. MXGDEBUG=VMXGSUM1 was used for MXG
VMXGALOC QA which exposed these overlooked corrections:
VMXGDSN -ASUMDB2A QXHJINT typo was observed and removed.
VMXGOPTR -VMXG70PR LPMSUHR was missing.
VMXGRMFI -ANAL116 had a superfluous ID=ENDDT argument, removed.
VMXGSUM -VGETALOC/VMXGALOC protected for blank MXGDEBUG.
VPUTMSG -VMXGSUM many calls to VPUTMSG revised so VMXGSUM1 now
Sep 10, 2017 is also enabled if 2/3/4 are requested.
-VMACDB2 did not keep SHIFT in DB2ACCTR dataset.
-VMXGRMFI had spurious SMF70GMN SMF70GMU MXGDEBUGs.
-ASUMNTIN did not keep one variable
-TESTTRND builds PDB.CICS from ASUMCICX, clearing the
first PDB.CICS created by ASUMCICS which had different
kept variables and is not the recommended CICS summary.
-ASUMDB2R needs KEEPALL=YES for missing variable notes.
-TRNDNTIN needed a variable added to KEEP list.
Thanks to Donald Blaszka, WiPro, USA.
Change 35.193 Alignment correction for SMF74SBR/SBW/SQR/SQW sync I/O
VMAC74 variables, and new SMF74SQRRATE/SMF74SQWRATE sync rates.
Aug 30, 2017
Change 35.192 Variables WTASINTE/WTASINTS/WTASSTRT in MQMQUEUE dataset
VMAC116 are missing values in obs created from SMF 116 Subtype 2
Aug 29, 2017 (continuation) records, but now INTS/STRT are populated
by WQTTTIME and INTE is populated by SMFTIME.
Thanks to Raymond J. Smith, OPTUM, USA.
Change 35.191 -Support for z/OS 2.3 ZRBASI and ZRBUWD new fields are now
VMACRMFV validated so the bypass execution tests (-99 EQ 99) are
Sep 5, 2017 are now removed.
-Variable GEIFLG2 is now INPUT and kept in ZRBGEI dataset.
-Unpopulated Extended Length EDE segment overlaid original
INPUT of variables EDEPCKG EDEPROC EDEUSER EDETRXN EDEACC
with blank values.
-Overlooked OPD variables now INPUT and kept:
OPDDCTIIP='DELTA*TCB TIME*FOR*ZIIP'
OPDCTIIP='PROCESS*SYSTEM*USER COMPUTE*ON ZIIP'
Thanks to Kurt Gramling, T-SYS, USA.
Change 35.190 SMF type 2 subtype 2 (SMF Signature enabled), ERROR INPUT
VMAC0203 EXCEEDED RECORD LENGTH due to MXG INPUT mis-alignment.
VMACSMF -Dataset TYPE0202 now keeps those signature variables, and
Aug 28, 2017 dataset TYPE0203 reverts to the way it originally was,
keeping only the header variables.
-BUT: the type 2 subtype 1/2 records have SYSTEM='DUMY'
in the SMF header! Since that is not a real system name,
and because it could confuse any SMF Audit or analysis,
MXG's handling of the _SMF header in VMACSMF now detects
type=2 subtype=1/2 and SYSTEM='DUMY' and changes SYSTEM
to the actual SYSTEM (SMF2IRSID/SMF2GRSID) name.
Note: See Change 38.034 for revisions.
Thanks to Daniel Erikols, Svenska Handelsbanken, SWEDEN.
Change 35.189 Variables QPAC_PIPE_WAIT and QPAC_PIPE_COUNT are INPUT
VMACDB2 and kept in dataset DB2ACCTP.

====== Changes thru 35.186 are in this MXG 35.08 dated Aug 24, 2017=====
Change 35.186 New variables MKFLAGA/MKRLSOPT/MKLRTIME are created and
VMACEDGS kept in EDGSKREC dataset; variable MKSTORE2 is no longer
Aug 23, 2017 valid, as it now contains the time part of MKLRTIME.
Aug 25, 2017 MKLRTIME='LAST*REFERENCE*DATETIME'
MKFLAGA ='FLAG-A'
MKRLSOPT='RELEASE OPTIONS'
-Aug 25: MKLRTIME was missing value because 2-byte field
before the new date value was not documented, but the
hex record and doc offset showed 2 bytes were inserted.
Thanks to Marybeth Delphia, CPA Texas, USA.
Change 35.185 Change 35.167 forced you to have a PDB libname when you
BLDSMPDB may not have needed one. There are 4 executions of
Aug 22, 2017 VGETSORT within BLDSMPDB with differing needs.
If running with RUNWEEK=YES the LIBNAME pointed to by
WEEKSTRT is used
If running with RUNWEEK=WTD the LIBNAME pointed to by
PDB is used
If running with RUNMNTH=YES the LIBNAME pointed to by
WEEK1 is used
If running with RUNMNTH=MTD the LIBNAME pointed to by
PDB is used
Change 35.184 Test for LIBNAME count was removed as unneeded and it
PDBAUDIT caused termination of the QA test job with 35 libraries,
Aug 23, 2017 and PDB.PDBAUDIT and SPIN.SPINAUDIT datasets not created.
The original error it was supposed to prevent was found
to be unrelated the LIBNAME count.
Change 35.183 Five IFCIDS create new datasets, but only T102S389 and
EX102389 T102S477 have the IFCID-specific variables; the three

Change 35.181 Support for four new SYTSTSCP variables added:
VMACXAM
Aug 16, 2017
Change 35.180 MXG 35.07. SMF 92 Subtype 50 INPUT STATEMENT EXCEEDED due
VMAC92 to MXG typo of 44 vs 4 in the INPUT, but also the 16-byte
Aug 18, 2017 STCKE format SMF92T50 was not decoded correctly. IBM also
changed the format of SMF92RVN from NUM2. to PIB2., which
caused INVALID DATA FOR SMF92RVN error messages.
Change 35.179 Utility reads SMF and writes records for wanted JOBnames.
UWRITSMF

BUIL3005 day, at step initiation, and CPITCTTM CPISRTTM are the
Aug 8, 2017 "term" time of day so those CPU times can be assigned to
the correct time of day (ALOCTIME or TERMTIME). All four
are now kept in both PDB.STEPS and PDB.JOBS.

VMXG70PR LPARs on IFLs. Now both MXGCIN and VMSYSTEM are used to
Aug 2, 2017 remove those unwanted observations.
Thanks to Scott Barry, SBBWorks Inc., USA.
Change 35.169 The incorrectly spelled variable QPSTDTW was kept in both
VMAC115 MQMBUFER and TY115215, but the correctly spelled QPSTDWT
Jul 31, 2017 was only valid in MQMBUFER, and was missing in TY115215.
Now both variables are valid in both datasets.
Thanks to Doris Bentrez, IBM, USA.
Change 35.168 Two errors both would show up when PDB= pointed at more
ANALDB2R than one LIBNAME. First the VGETOBS looking for the
Jul 28, 2017 DB2 datasets would fail looking at multiple libnames.
Once that was fixed ANALDB2R only used the first in the
list of LIBNAMES - now it will use them all.
Change 35.167 BLDSMPDB uses VGETSORT to determine the contents of
BLDSMPDB your LIBNAMES and the sort sequences (or lack) of
Jul 28, 2017 all of the datasets. It inconsistently used differing
libnames to make that determination which could miss
newly added datasets or changed sort orders. It will
now use the BASEPDB (usually PDB) LIBNAME in all cases
so that it will find the most recent examples.
-New option added to RUNWEEK. RUNWEEK=FORCE will force
the running of the weekly processing. Point FORCEDAY
to the last date in the week if running with AUTOALOC.
-If you are running on ASCII with AUTOALOC=YES we do
not recommend using WTD or MTD processing as it can
make ABEND recovery difficult if the WTD or MTD
processing was done prior to the ABEND.
We also do NOT recommend modifying default SORTEDBY
value from NO to YES since a change in sort orders
(as unusual as it might be) could cause problems.
Change 35.166 Support for z/OS 2.3 changes, many new variables, COMPAT.

EXTY9252 never-used ID=126 record type to identify this record has
EXTY9253 the extended header. Note that new SMF exit IEFU86 is
EXTY9254 taken for ALL SMF records, with or without the extended
EXTY9255 header, and existing SMF exits IEFU83/84/85 are called

could show NOZEROCPU when the default ZEROCPU setting was
in effect for the ASI table. Only ASMRMFV was changed.
-With this change if the NOSVP table option is in effect
then the RCD option will be forced to NORCD.

Change 35.153 The IBM RMF CRYPTO report shows a TOTAL EXEC TIME with a
VMAC7072 value of 0.120 but that is actually the AVERAGE EXEC TIME
Jul 7, 2017 per call, and the unstated units are milliseconds, so the
actual average value was 120 microseconds. In TYPE7002
dataset, the actual average value was 120 microseconds.
MXG Variable CRYCTE is the calculated average value,
0.000120 seconds, which is 120 microseconds. When printed
with TIMW13.3 format, only three decimals were displayed
(0:00:00.000), so crypto duration variables are now
formatted TIME14.6 to display as 0:00:00.000120 to show
microseconds.

TYPE74 after IBM SuperPav support is installed, even if you are
Jun 28, 2017 NOT using SuperPAVs. After IBMSuperPAV PTFs, the ESS Rank
data are incorrect. No code was changed in MXG.
Thanks to Jerry Ellis, Liberty Mutual, USA.
Change 35.150 Option %LET CECONLY=YES; creates PDB.ASUMCEC keeping only
VMXG70PR the 68 CEC-Level variables, dropping 2794 LPAR-specific
Jun 28, 2017 variables (generally useless, with unique variable names
for 60 LPARs) and creates PDB.ASUMCELP (no changes, but
with one observation per LPAR, it is THE dataset to use
to report LPAR data, with ONE set of variable names.)
NOTE: ALL LPARS in the CEC are summed into ASUMCEC.
Only the first 60 have sets of kept unique names.
The ASUM70PR/ASUM70LP and ASUM70GC/ASUM70GL datasets are
not created when %LET CECONLY=YES; is placed in your
//SYSIN prior to the INCLUDE of ASUM70PR.
Change 35.149 New BUILDJCL=YES option creates JCL for two step job with
UTILBLDP PGM=IFASMFDP control statements to select ONLY the SMF
Jun 30, 2017 records needed for your UTILBLDP selections.
Sep 30, 2017 On Sep 30, UTILBLDX from this change became UTILBLDP as
had been planned in the original text of this change,
and UTILBLDX was removed from MXG 35.09.
-comparison of CPU savings:
Using IFASMFDP to select SMF records can save CPU time,
especially for Ad Hoc jobs that select a relatively small
number of SMF records. Tests with a 15 GigaByte SMF file
with 25 million records was used, but only 1.4 Million of
those records (1 GB) were actually decoded and output.
But they had to be read and that costs CPU time:
MM:SS
READ ALL RECORDS 14:56
USE MXG MACFILE EXIT TO SKIP UNWANTED 12:43
IFASMFDP READ ALL SELECT/WANTED 0:10
READ SELECTED/WANTED 2:25
-Using MACFILE, _SMF decodes the full header and then
deletes unwanted. Decoding DATETIME variables is the
most expensive INFORMAT so I inserted an exit to skip
the unwanted immediately after the ID was input and
prior to any DATETIME field, but the savings were much
less than hoped for and much less than using IFASMFDP.
MM:SS
READ ALL with _SMF THEN DELETE UNWANTED 6:29
READ ALL, DELETE AFTER ID READ 4:45
-BUILDJCL for extreme cases provides extreme results:
Selecting 194 SMF 115 records in a file of 300 million
records (1 MB from 137 GB) dropped the CPU time from
25 min to only 46 seconds, elapsed from 28 to 13 min.
Change 35.148 RMF III CPUTM in datasets ZRBRCDS and ZRBRCDR is wrong if
ASMRMFV ASMRMFV selected RCD records but didn't select SVP table.
ADOCRMFV Creation of CPUTCBTM/CPUSRBTM from Service Units requires
VMACRMFV the SVPCPU and SVPSRB coefficients. ASMRMFV now selects
Jun 27, 2017 SVP records when RCD is selected. Additionally, variable
CPUTM is set missing if there are no SVP data.
SO YOU MUST HAVE BOTH RCD AND SVP TABLES IN ASMRMFV.
-However, if the SVP table is selected, then the RCD table
is NOT forced. The SVP table is now also moved to the
BASIC option table selection group from the MOST option
table selection group because the RCD was always part of
the BASIC option table group.
-Minor performance improvement to UWD table processing
logic.
-Several documentation Sections are updated to support the
above changes:
Section 0 "Contents"
Section 4 "RMF III Table Selection Parameters"
Section 13 "Filtered Records"
Section 26 "ASMRMFV and MXG PDB Data

Change 35.145 Some zVM VXSYTPRP new SMT variables were incorrectly
FORMATS tested for error conditions with GT 8000000Nx values
VMACVMXA that no longer existed after their INPUT, causing large
Jun 25, 2017 values in occasional observations. They are now INPUT
with IB4 or IB4.3 INFORMATS so the first-bit-value causes
a negative value, and the error tests are now LT 0 to
detect and delete them. The MGVXAER format was revised
decode the negative values to print the error messages on
the SAS log (for the first 3 of each error type).
-Some INTERVAL variables were incorrectly deaccumulated
that also caused occasional large values.
Thanks to Giuseppe Giacomodonato, EPVTECH, ITALY.

VMXG70PR MXGERROR:MISSING TYPE 70 RECORDS FOR ONE OR MORE SYSTEMS.
Jun 23, 2017 MXGERROR:SMF70LAC VALUES FOR THOSE SYSTEMS/CECS ARE INVALID
MXGERROR:SEE CHANGE 35.144 TO CORRECT.
impact the important ASUMCEC and ASUMCELP CEC-level data.
Datasets ASUM70PR and ASUM70LP are impacted, but they
are SYSTEM-Level and are NOT recommended for analysis.
The messages will result if you did NOT process type 70
records from ALL OF YOUR z/OS SYSTEMS in the CEC; for
that case, you need to read all 70 SMF records.
They can also result if your z/OS configuration uses z/OS
SYSTEM names that are set in your SYS1.PARMLIB's IEASYSxx
and are NOT the same as the SMF SYSTEM ID: for example,
if you set SYSTEM names in IEASYSxx to the LPARNAME.
-This change creates a new INCODE70 argument that can be
set externally by macro variable &INCODE70FORPR, so you
can change those SYSTEM name to LPARNAME. Note, this is
only done internally in ASUM70PR code; there is no SYSTEM
variable in ASUMCEC/ASUMCELP. To use INCODE70FORPR, you
first need run this program and look at the output of
PROC FREQ DATA=PDB.TYPE70PR;
TABLES LPARNAME*SMF70STN/NOROW NOCOL NOCUM NOPERCENT;
to verify that LPARNAME equals SMF70STN for ALL systems.
IF THAT IS TRUE, then you need to use either INCODE70= in
your tailored ASUM70PR member (in your USERID.SOURCLIB),
or set the value prior to your ASUM70PR include, using:
%LET INCODE70FOR70PR=%QUOTE(
IF SYSTEM NE LPARNAME THEN SYSTEM=LPARNAME;
);
-Newly added, once you have verified the preceding is TRUE
you can let MXG do the heavy lifting and specify:
%LET INCODE70FOR70PR=ENABLEAUTO;
and MXG will generate the needed code to correct.
Don't hesitate to contact support@mxg.com for help.
See Change 36.026 for an example when LPARNAME is not
equal to SMF70STN.
See Also Change 37.070 that added INTIME70xx macros.
Change 35.143 -The UTIILBLDP option SUPPRESS is enhanced to recognize
UTILBLDP CICS to be the same as 110.
Jun 21, 2017 -If you specified SORTOUT=NEVER (not really recommended,
intended only for internal testing) it didn't work right:
only the datasets where sort IS required were NOT sorted,
(i.e. DIF() required for deaccumulate members) and all
other datasets WERE sorted. Now, NEVER sorts NOTHING,
and SORTOUT=NO option now sorts ONLY those members that
must be sorted for DIF().

Change 35.135 -Enhancements for 4 numeric data filters for RMF Monitor
ADOCRMFV III ASI (Address Space Information) table.
ASMRMFV -A pair of data filters are added to filter ASI entries
VMACRMFV based on the ASICPUTA (Total TCB+SRB time) field for each
Jun 6, 2017 MINTIME interval. These filters are effective only if
the ASI table is selected.
New Parameter Alias(es)
------------- ------------------------------------------
ZEROCPU ZCPU Default
NOZEROCPU NOZCPU, NZCPU
-ZEROCPU is the default and results in all ASI entries
being output to the RMFBSAM file and thus all becoming
observations in the MXG PDB data set ZRBASI (depending
on other ASI filters that may be in use).
The default provides a compatible behavior with prior
ASMRMFV versions.
-NOZEROCPU results in all ASI entries with ASICPUTA=0
being filtered (depending on other ASI filters that may
be in use) and thus these do NOT become observations in
the MXG PDB data set ZRBASI. The data volume to generate
the PDB can be significantly reduced.
In a test group of 21 RMF Monitor III VSAM data sets
78.3% of all ASI entries had ASICPUTA=0. Actual results
may vary.
-While the NOZEROCPU setting might seem to be ALWAYS
desirable there are other considerations:
1) Filtering zero CPU time ASI entries will result in
time series gaps for some Address Spaces in some MINTIME
intervals in charts, plots, or reports.
If such gaps are not acceptable, use the default ZEROCPU
parameter instead. However, there will be a higher
number of PDB ZRBASI data set observations as in prior
ASMRMFV versions.
2) Zero CPU time conditions are NOT always due to pure
idleness for an Address Space.
RMF Monitor III detected delays such as Processor,
Enqueue, Operator Reply, and Operator Mount separately or
in combination can prevent accumulation of any CPU time
for an Address Space in a single MINTIME interval.
The NOZEROCPU parameter used alone with the NOKEEPDELAYS
default will filter out these entries so that further
investigation of a zero CPU time Address Space in a
MINTIME interval based on delays is impossible.
-With the above use of NOZEROCPU in mind an additional
pair of data filters are added to further filter ASI
entries based on the ASISWAIN (Number of Single State
Samples Delayed by ANY Resource) field for each MINTIME
interval.
This filter pair is effective only if the NOZEROCPU
parameter is in effect.
New Parameter Alias(es)
------------- ------------------------------------------
KEEPDELAYS KDELAYS, KDLYS, KEEPD
NOKEEPDELAYS NOKDELAYS, NOKDLYS, NOKEEPD Default
-With NOZEROCPU and NOKEEPDELAYS in effect all ASI entries
with ASICPUTA=0 are filtered regardless if any delays
occurred or not during a MINTIME interval (if not already
filtered by other ASI filters).
-With NOZEROCPU and KEEPDELAYS in effect only ASI entries
with both ASICPUTA=0 AND ASISWAIN=0 (zero delays) in a
MINTIME interval are filtered (if not already filtered
by other ASI filters).
In a test group of 21 RMF Monitor III VSAM data sets with
NOZEROCPU and KEEPDELAYS 75.8% of all ASI entries had
ASICPUTA=0 and ASISWAIN=0 and so were filtered.
This was only 2.5% less data filtered than with NOZEROCPU
used alone. Once again actual results may vary.
-NOZEROCPU and KEEPDELAYS are likely the best compromise
settings between ASI data reduction and retention of
delay information. Neither are defaults.
However, for maximum data reduction use NOZEROCPU alone
if subsequent delay analysis is not required.
-If ZEROCPU/NOZEROCPU is specified multiple times the last
occurrence takes effect.
-If KEEPDELAYS/NOKEEPDELAYS is specified multiple times
the last occurrence takes effect, but both are ignored
if ZEROCPU is in effect.
-The following chart shows ASI entries output to the
RMFBSAM file and thus also to the subsequent observations
in MXG PDB ZRBASI data set based on the settings of
ZEROCPU/NOZEROCPU, KEEPDELAYS/NOKEEPDELAYS:
---------------------------------------------------------
| NOKEEPDELAYS | KEEPDELAYS
| (Default) |
---------------------------------------------------------
ZEROCPU |All ASI entries output |All ASI entries output
(Default)| |
---------------------------------------------------------
NOZEROCPU|Only ASI entries output|Only ASI entries output
|with ASICPUTA NE 0 |with ASICPUTA NE 0
| |OR ASISWAIN NE 0
---------------------------------------------------------
-ASIAND/ASIOR does NOT apply to ZEROCPU/NOZEROCPU and
KEEPDELAYS/NOKEEPDELAYS filters. These are evaluated
independently of other ASI filters.
-The order of ASI filter application is:
1) ASISUBSYS= <----
2) ASIWORKLOAD= |
3) ASIRESGROUP= |
4) ASISRVCLASS= |--< ASIAND/ASIOR applies only
5) ASIRPTCLASS= | to these filters 1) to 8)
6) ASIJOBCLASS= |
7) ASIJOBNAME= |
8) ASIJESID= <----
9) ZEROCPU/NOZEROCPU
10) KEEPDELAYS/NOKEEPDELAYS
-The MXG00 record version is raised to x'09' from x'08'.
New fields added to the MXG00 record include:
ZEROCPU/NOZEROCPU and KEEPDELAYS/NOKEEPDELAYS settings
-Update message RMFV006I to show new output filters
ZEROCPU/NOZEROCPU/KEEPDELAYS/NOKEEPDELAYS.

Change 35.128 Documentation Note. ZFS and ODS users may need to change
IMACINIT the MXG default CAPSOUT option to NOCAPSOUT since those
May 26, 2017 system need to support both cases. I don't think it is
safe for me to change the option as it could impact the
existing users on z/OS where it was originally needed.
But you can add OPTIONS NOCAPSOUT: in the IMACINIT
member of your tailoring library if you determine it can
be changed with no impact.

Change 35.124 Running WPS with more than 20 libnames caused WPS to fail
PDBAUDIT so now with WPS if there are more than 20 LIBNAMES after
May 22, 2017 removing the LIBNAMES not related to PDBAUDIT, MXG shuts
down with a message that only the first 20 were used.
Change 35.123 Support for z/OS 2.2 updates to TYPE991 dataset adds many
VMAC99 new variables.

Change 35.122 Two new parameters added:
ANALCAPD COMPANY= lets you override MXG in title statements
May 22, 2017 OUTDATA= lets you preserve the dataset with actuals and
rolling 4 hour MSU values for further analysis.
-GRAPHICS code is enabled for WPS at 3.3 or higher.
====== Changes thru 35.121 are in this MXG 35.05 dated May 15, 2017=====
Change 35.121 ERROR: MACRO KEYWORD DO APPEARS AS TEXT because the quote
ANALAVAI after "DO'" and several other syntax errors corrected.
May 13, 2017
Thanks to Hai Huynh, Freddie Mac, USA.
Change 35.120 WPS only, MXG 35.04, Change 35.085. A variable with no
VMXGPRNT label generated unintended text with multiple quotes
May 16, 2017 Varname1='Label*(varname)''(next vrname)'
which is valid text for a SAS label, defined as the text
after an equal sign up to the text before the next token
that is followed by an equal sign, but this syntax was
was not accepted by WPS as a label, causing an ERROR.
The circumvention is to create a LABEL='NOLABEL' for
variables that do not have a label.
-VMXGPRNT is used in ANAL113, ANAL116, VMXGFIND, VMXGPRAL
VMXGPRA1, VMXGPRNT, VMXGSRCH, and JCLPDB members.

Thanks to Lynn Hong, UCLA, USA.
Change 35.118 Notes on the use of VIEWs in DATA steps that create more
Document than one DATASET.
May 11, 2017 -Only one DATASET can be a view in a DATA step (and the
BUILDPDB program already has one).
-Any of the datasets can be the view, but that view MUST
be the first dataset referenced (read/sorted), or none
of the other datasets will exist.
-Views can dramatically reduce elapsed and CPU times and
I/O counts and durations, for instance for a DATA step
followed by a SORT, where the VIEW eliminates the write
and read of the dataset that is created without a VIEW.
The VIEW doesn't have any impact on the resources used
by the SORT.
-This example started as TYPE120 with the lower case
lines added. WORK needs to be cleared in case there was
a dataset of the same name, whether it was a view or a
dataset. The /view=typ1209r enables the view and names
the one dataset, and the _st1209r "data set sort macro"
is invoked first, and then made blank so the _S120
"product sort macro" can sort the other datasets:
proc datasets ddname=work mt=all kill;
%INCLUDE SOURCLIB(VMACSMF,VMAC120,IMACKEEP);
DATA
_VAR120 /view=typ1209r
_SMF
_CDE120
run;
_st1209r
run;
macro _st1209R %
_S120;

The DATA/SORT took 6 hours, the VIEW/SORT took 2.

Change 35.116 35.04 only. The TYPSMVJE test was in TESSUSR1 but should
JCLTEST9 have been in TESSOTHR member, so TESSUSR1 step failed
May 16, 2017 because //MVJEIN DD was not found in that step's JCL.

May 10, 2017 analysis of LPAR weights.
Thanks to Andrew Petersen, CSC, AUSTRALIA.
Change 35.112 -MXG 35.04 Only, only with variable names longer than 32
VGETSORT bytes. ERROR Truncated SORTBY variable name not found.
May 9, 2017 The LENGTH for the new SORT variables is $32 now.
May 11, 2017 VGETSORT is used in BLDSMPDB, UTILROLL and MULTIPDB.
-VGETSORT: Cosmetic, UNINIT variable NOBS message because
it was not in the KEEP list, but had no impact.
Change 35.111 DB2 12.1, INVALID QLAC SEG ERROR, LENQLAC=218, new
VMACDB2 field QLACPRLV was inserted by DB2 CONTINUOUS DELIVERY,
VMACDB2H but was unknown to MXG as there was no notification by
May 9, 2017 IBM that a field was inserted. MXG detected the change,
May 11, 2017 printed the ERROR message, and deleted the record, so
some observations in DB2ACCT were not output. The error
led to the discovery of an updated DB2 MACLIB with this
text in DSNDQLAC member:
e26995 Continuous Delivery.
Product functional/build level. QLACPRLV. s28617
but a search for s28617 discovered nothing. Only a
search for the new field, QLACPRLV found it was added.
But there were no other references to the s28617 nor
e26995 tokens in the other MACLIB members.
Of course, now that I know this new field name, Google
found both fields referenced in APAR PI74456:
"IFCID 3 accounting information will now provide the
partner's functional/service/build level in a new
QLACPRLV field."
"IFCID 365 location statistics information will now
provide the partner's functional/service/build level
in a new QLSTPRLV field."
The real issue raised with DB2 support and unanswered
as of this writing is: HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO KNOW that
fields were inserted by Continuous Delivery.
These header fields are now kept in DB2ACCT:
QWHS_MOD_LVL='MOD LEVEL FOR*CONTINUOUS*DELIVERY'
QWHS_REC_INCOMPAT='INCOMPATIBLE*CHANGE*VALUE'
QWHS_REC_COMPAT='COMPATIBLE*CHANGE*VALUE'
QWHS_REC_VALIDITY='CHECK*NEEDED FOR*INCOMPAT*COMPAT'
The current MOD_LVL is V12R1M100 and MXG's COMPAT and
INCOMPAT count of changes is zero before and after this
INCOMPAT change. It is unclear how these fields could
be used, since they are after the record was changed.

Change 35.099 ANALID relocate.
Change 35.098 RMF III Filter enhancements.
ADOCRMFV -Enhancements for character data filtering for RMF Monitor
ASMRMFV III CPU (Processor Data Control Block), CPC (CPC Data
VMACRMFV Control Block), improved message RMFV029* DEAD SPACE
Apr 26, 2017 controls, better error message formats and content, and
other usability and performance gains.
-1 new character filter is added to support CPU entry
selection from this table to the RMFBSAM output file.
This filter is effective only if the CPU or CPC table is
selected and applies to BOTH tables.
New Keyword Aliases
------------ ------------------------------------------
CPUSYSTEM= CPUSYSID=, CPUSID=
Since this is the only filter for this table there are NO
CPUAND/CPUOR parameters.
Syntax and usage mirrors that used for the existing
SYSTEM= parameter for selection by SMF Sysid using ranges
and/or patterns.
-1 new filter is added to support CPC entry selection
from this table to the RMFBSAM output file. This filter
applies ONLY to the CPC (not the CPU) table.
New Keyword Aliases
------------ ------------------------------------------
CPCSYSTEM= CPCSYSID=, CPCSID=
Since this is the only filter for this table there are NO
CPCAND/CPCOR parameters.
Syntax and usage mirrors that used for the existing
SYSTEM= parameter for selection by SMF Sysid using ranges
and/or patterns.
-TUTORIAL:
The new CPCSYSTEM= parameter may appeal to large
installations running multiple z/OS LPARs on a CEC
(Central Electronic Complex) and using RMF Monitor III
gathering data on several of them.
RMF Monitor III creates the CPCDB (Central Processing
Complex Data Block) table for each instance of RMF
Monitor III on a given CEC except if the LPAR is a z/VM
guest.
The CPCDB (aka CPC) has LPAR settings and Logical
Processor data for every image on the CEC whether it be
a z/OS LPAR or not.
There is no RMF III option to turn off CPC data
collection, so this parameter is an alternative.
As long as the RMF Monitor III MINTIME, CYCLE, and SYNC
options are identical redundant CPC tables for every RMF
Monitor III native (non-guest) LPAR on the CEC are
created at every MINTIME interval.
The MXG PDB build will create a ZRBLCP observation for
each Logical Processor for each LPAR for every MINTIME
interval. For installations with several RMF Monitor III
LPARs on a CEC this can result in a lot of extra, but not
useful duplicate SAS ZRBLCP observations.
See new documentation Section 30 "CPC Data Relief
Technique" for more details on use of CPCSYSTEM=.
It is a user responsibility to set up CPCSYSTEM= for each
CEC configuration properly and to track any LPAR SYSID
changes as they occur. An incorrect CPCSYSTEM=
specification will result in loss of data in the MXG
ZRBLCP SAS data set should the SYSID no longer exist
or be misspelled.
-CSR (Common Storage Remaining) processing now moves CSR
entries in blocks for as many entries that fit to the
RMFBSAM output buffer when NO CSR character data filters
are used.
When these filters were added in MXG Change 34.373
processing changed to move one CSR entry at a time to the
output buffer. However, this is an unnecessary overhead
if no CSR filtering is in effect. The earlier processing
technique is restored for this case.
A test with 21 RMF Monitor III sample data sets at the
35.098 level showed about a 1% CPU reduction for CSR
processing with no filters used compared to the 34.373
level. This will vary with the number of CSR entries
and RMF III VSAM data sets processed.
-The MXG00 record version is raised to x'08' from x'07'.
New fields added to the MXG00 record include:
CPUSYSTEM= and CPCSYSTEM= Range/Pattern maximums
CPUSYSTEM= and CPCSYSTEM= Range/Pattern table sizes
% of available TIOT entries used
ASMCPCRX='MAXIMUM*CPCSYSTERM*RANGES'
ASMCPCPX='MAXIMUM*CPCSYSTERM*PATTERNS'
ASMCPURX='MAXIMUM*CPUSYSTERM*RANGES'
ASMCPUPX='MAXIMUM*CPUSYSTERM*PATTERNS'
ASMSHSPL='WARNING*LIMIT*PCT SPACE*USE'
ASMCPCRS='SIZE*CPCSYSTEM*RANGE*TABLE'
ASMCPCPS='SIZE*CPCSYSTEM*PATTERN*TABLE'
ASMCPURS='SIZE*CPUSYSTEM*RANGE*TABLE'
ASMCPUPS='SIZE*CPUCSYSTEM*PATTERN*TABLE'
-TIOT entries used percentage is added to the RMFV000I
message. TIOT usage information is grouped on a single
report line.
-Support for ILIMIT= (alias ILIM=) and SLIMIT= (alias
SLIM=) keywords is added to control appearance of
the RMFV029* DEAD SPACE message (*=I,W,E,S).
Previous versions of ASMRMFV could issue this message for
exhausted RMF III indexes even when the VSAM data set
usage was relatively high. In this case re-allocating
the VSAM data set to make it smaller is not productive.
ILIMIT= specifies a percentage in the range of 0 to 100
as a threshold for RMF III VSAM Data Set Header (DSH)
indexes usage. The default is 100.
SLIMIT= specifies a percentage in the range of 0 to 100
as a threshold for RMF III VSAM Data Set space usage.
The default is 95.
The defaults of ILIMIT=100 and SLIMIT=95 with INDEXES and
SPACE options in effect mean that if all 1110 sample
indexes are exhausted in the Data Set Header (DSH)
record, but the RMF Monitor III VSAM data set is 95% or
more utilized no DEAD SPACE condition is flagged.
See the documentation for RMFV029* for how the settings
of NOINDEXES/INDEXES, NOSPACE/SPACE, ILIMIT=, and SLIMIT=
parameters interact.
Users who find RMFV029* a nuisance rather than an aid
can suppress it completely with ILIMIT=0 and SLIMIT=0.
ILIMIT= and SLIMIT= values in effect are displayed in
message RMFV037I.
Section 22 RMF III VSAM Data Set Index Usage and Sizing
is updated to discuss use of ILIMIT= and SLIMIT= options.
-There are now 4 distinct levels for messages that can
have variable severity based on the settings of the
various existing *ERR= condition keywords:
*ERR Message Return
Setting Suffix Meaning Code
------- ------ ------------------------- ---------
IGNORE I Ignore error/continue No change
WARN W Warn error/continue 0004
ERROR E Issue error/may continue 0008
ABEND S Issue error/Abend U0998 N/A (1)
(1) Abends have a distinct Reason Code but no Return
Code.
In past ASMRMFV versions 'E' suffixed messages
inconsistently may or may not have resulted in an Abend.
-Distributed *ERR settings remain as:
Keyword DEFAULT CONTROLS
--------- ------- -------------------------
ALLOCERR= WARN DYNAMIC ALLOCATION ERRORS
ATTRERR= WARN DATA SET ATTRIBUTE ERRORS
CATERR= WARN CSI CATALOG LOOKUP ERRORS
DEADERR= WARN VSAM DEAD SPACE ERRORS
DSIGERR= WARN DSIG ID (DSH) ERRORS
DSNERR= WARN CSI DSNAME LOOKUP ERRORS
DUPERR= WARN DUPLICATE DSNAME ERRORS
EMPTYERR= IGNORE EMPTY VSAM DATA SET ERRORS
PATTERR= ABEND PATTERN AND/OR RANGE ERRORS
READERR= ABEND VSAM READ I/O ERRORS
TABERR= WARN RMF III TABLE VALIDATE ERRORS
TYPEERR= WARN DATA SET TYPE ERRORS
RCERR= WARN REPORT CLASS FIND ERRORS
RGERR= WARN RESOURCE GROUP FIND ERRORS
SCERR= WARN SERVICE CLASS FIND ERRORS
WLERR= WARN WORKLOAD FIND ERRORS
-ASMRMFV will now generate the correct message format for
variable severity messages during assembly based on the
defaults above. This avoids unnecessary tailoring during
ASMRMFV initiation. Any user overrides of the above
settings will still require tailoring of related
messages by ASMRMFV during start up.
-Internal error message generation interface updated for
following messages:
RMFV004E, RMFV005*, RMFV007S, RMFV034S, RMFV035*,
RMFV056* (*=I,W,E,S)
Improvements for these messages include:
3 separate error messages subroutines replaced by one
for code path length reduction.
Extraneous blanks in these error messages eliminated
for better legibility.
Clearer and less cryptic error descriptions.
-RMFV006E message had incorrect timestamp when FROMDATE=
exceeded TODATE=
-RMFV007S message missing DDNAME when RMFBSAM DD was not
present.
-RMFV007S message will now show N/A when a Reason Code is
not available for a failed function or service.
-Improve logic of DOW= keyword processing when using a
range, i.e. DOW=day1:day2 to examine the last half of
the day of week range if an error is found in the first
half. Also leading and trailing colons are stripped
before length checking.
-Former documentation Section 30 Summary is now Section 31
and former Section 31 Bibliography is now Section 32.
-Several documentation Sections are updated to support
the above changes:
Section 0 "Contents"
Section 5 "Input Data Selection Parameters"
Section 6 "Report Control Parameters"
Section 8 "Error Handling Parameters"
Section 12 "Messages"
Section 13 "Filtered Records"
Section 16 "Return Codes"

Change 35.097 Four IMF variables that are INPUT with TODSTAMP8 are now
VMACCIMS formatted DATETIME25.6 to display full microseconds. The
Apr 25, 2017 other datetimes are limited to DATETIME21.2 resolution.
Thanks to Jan Tielemans, KBC, BELGIUM.
Change 35.096 New UTILROLL utility combines all SAS datasets from one
UTILROLL or more SAS data libraries (think "hourly" PDB runs) into
JCLROLL1 another LIBNAME (think "daily" PDB), either concatenating
JCLROLL2 the new data, or interleaving to preserve the sort order.
VGETSORT If the ROLLTO LIBNAME is empty or the dataset being added
Apr 24, 2017 added to does not exist the code will ignore the ROLLTO
LIBNAME and use only the ROLLFROM to create the ROLLTO
datasets.
-VGETSORT could return bad information if there was
a variable name longer than 8 bytes. Length was
increased to 32 and NOBS ENG were added to the output.
Change 35.095 APPL PCT variables are created in TYPE72GO to match the

APPLIIPCP='APPL PCT*OF 1 CPU*ZIIP ELIG*ON CP'
APPLAAP ='APPL PCT*OF 1 CPU*CPU TIME*ON ZAAP'
APPLIIP ='APPL PCT*OF 1 CPU*CPU TIME*ON ZIIP'
with this code:
IF R723MCF GT 0 THEN
APPLCP= 100*CPUTM/(DURATM*R723MCF);
IF R723MCFI GT 0 THEN DO;
APPLAAPCP=100*CPUIFETM/(DURATM*R723MCFI);
APPLAAP= 100*(256*CPUIFATM/R723NFFI)/(DURATM*R723MCFI);
END;
IF R723MCFS GT 0 THEN DO;
APPLIIPCP=100*CPUZIETM/(DURATM*R723MCFS);
APPLIIP= 100*(256*CPUZIPTM/R723NFFS)/(DURATM*R723MCFS);

-Dataset VXAPLSL0 was "hosed" because my loop was
DO CPUNR=1 TO NRCPUS, but first CPU is CPUNR=0, and
the CPUNR at the end of the segment had been overlooked.
-PFXPRKWT is now deaccumulated.
-The VXAPLSLx dataset only has observations output when
there was activity by the Linux machine; the LINXTIME is
the "wake up" time in this interval and is used to create
DELTALINXTM=MRHDRTOD-LINXTIME with the maxiumum duration
of an interval that that VMDUSER could have been active.

only non-zero field for non-DASD records.
-The SMT Busy Time calculation was revised to
LCXCMTBY=(2*LCUCACTM)-LCXCMTIT
Thanks to Graham Harris, RBS, ENGLAND.
Change 35.078 If you specified SORTEDBY=YES and you run the daily and
BLDSMPDB weekly/monthly processing in the same SAS execution of
Mar 31, 2017 BLDSMPDB the SORTEDBY= was ignored because VMXGSUM used
the same MACRO variable name making it a GLOBAL macro
variable to VMXGSUM and overriding the BLDSMPDB used
parameter. NO data was lost - just not in the order
you may have expected. Circumvented by holding the
value in a LOCAL macro variable and the reinstating
it after DAILY processing is completed.

UTILBLDP and a redundant WANTSMF in one example was removed.

Change 35.067 -Standalone execution failed because &PDBMXG.SMFINTRV
SMFINTRV needed to be &PDBMXG..SMFINTRV, but MXG invocations in
Mar 14, 2017 BUILDPDB/BUILDPD3 were correct so no error there.
Apr 18, 2017 -Three new interval START datetimes are created so you
can directly summarize to that interval by your choice of
START15INT='FIFTEEN*MINUTE*INTERVAL*START'
START30INT='THIRTY*MINUTE*INTERVAL*START'
STARTHRINT='HOUR*INTERVAL*START'
Apr 11: Revised. Those three variables are now created
by VMXGDUR, with the DEFAULT SMFINTSYNC59 "SYNC59" option
defaulting to YES, to be consistent with RMFINTRV.
If your records are NOT "SYNC59", i.e., are written :00
use %LET SMFINTSYNC59=NO; in your //SYSIN.
Unlike other "INTRV" programs that invoke VMXGDUR to
create new summary datasets, SMFINTRV does NOT summarize
TYPE30_V records; instead it only combines the multiple
SMF 30 records (MULTIDD='Y' steps with LOTS of DDs) into
one observation per interval with all EXCPs totaled.
If you do want to summarize PDB.SMFINTRV across intervals
the ANALSMFI program provides that example.
Change 35.066 APAR OA59593 adds new flag variable
BUIL3005 SMF30CAS_INELIGHONOR='ELIG WORK*IS NOT*OFFLOADED*TO CP?'
BUILD005 to SMF 30 TYPE30_V/TYPE30_4/TYPE30_V datasets to identify
VMAC30 jobs whose eligible work was NOT offloaded to CPs for
Mar 19, 2017 help. The variable is also added to PDB.SMFINTRV and
PDB.STEPS datasets.
Change 35.065 Almost "cosmetic": READDB2 could create dataset DB2STATR
READDB2 even though you did not request it, due to Change 34.265
Mar 14, 2017 that overlaid a token for DB2NETZA. No obs were output.
Change 35.064 SMT Mode corrections and enhancements.
VMAC7072 -ZIPACTTM in PDB.ASUMCELP is the best source of per-LPAR
Mar 13, 2017 hardware zIIP CPU busy, created in BUILDPDB/ASUM70PR.
This change adds SMT_NUM to PDB.ASUMCELP to identify the
SMT mode.
-Variable ZIPACTTM in PDB.TYPE70 could be too small for
an LPAR when in SMT_NUM=2; in rare cases the last LPAR's
was not included.
-Correction for ZIPACTTM in TYPE70 also caused
PLATBUSY LPARSHAC LPARSHAR TOTSHARC TOTSHARE
ZIPSHARC ZIPSHARE LZIPSHAC LZIPSHAR
to also be corrected/changed values in compares.
-TYPE70/TYPE70PR variables CPUID SMT_CORE_ID LCPUADDR and
(new) SMT_THREAD are now formatted numeric HEX2. to
to match RMF reporting formats.
-In the ASID TYPE30 and Service Class TYPE72GO data, the
recorded MT=2 CPUZIPTM/ZIPUNITS values are "inflated"
above the actual hardware zIIP time, and the hardware
equivalent can not be calculated using R723MCFS, the
Maximum Multi-Threading Capacity Factor.
LPAR with 7 zIIP engines in SMT_NUM=2 MT=2 mode:
UPTIME: 1:45 ZIPACTTM: 1:31 72-CPUZIPTM: 2:05 hh:mm
105 min 91 min 125 min
"Above Inflation Factor" 125/91=1.37
Interval R723MCFS =1.17871
"MCSF Equivalent zIIP CPU= 125/1.17871 = 106 min
but that is as large as the UPTIME of 105 minutes.
And IBM's range of R723MCFS values is 1.1 to 1.4,
with a theoretical max of 2.0.
So: what to do? Maybe Nothing. This is what is recorded
now in SMF 30/72 records in MT=2 mode (AND ONLY in ASID
and SRVCLASS records): NO INFLATED VALUES IN RMF 70 SMF
data that are used for zIIP capacity metrics. So, while
the values are too large, their interval sum can be used
to determine the proportion of the MT=2 zIIP usage for
each workload, job, or service class.
Apr 10: IBM SMT folks have examined these data and have
confirmed my conclusions that the values are inflated.
August: IBM confirmed that at very high or very low util
the SMT values are inflated; it's unclear if that will
ever change.
Daniel Rosa's available online 2015 SHARE paper "IBM z
Systems z13 Simultaneous Multi-Threading R(Evolution)"
discusses the MT=2 metrics.
Jul 30, 2018: The CAPZIPRT can exceed 100% due to this
inflation of 30/72 CPUZIPTM when SMT Mode is enabled.
Change 35.064A Multi-Volume DCOLDSET records populate some fields only
VMACDCOL in the first (DCDVOLSQ=1) record. When TYPSDCOL program
Mar 10, 2017 is used, these fields are retained from the first record
and are now output in PDB.DCOLDSET.
-Records with DCDVOLSQ=0 were created in WORK.TYPEDCOL
but were then not output in the first record logic, but
now they are output to PDB.DCOLDSET.
Change 35.063 -XAMSYS records with SYTCUP SEGLEN=148 but SYTNLPS=2 or 3
VMACXAM are wrong, protected by changing SYTNLPS to 5 while the
Mar 10, 2017 problem is opened with Barton now to resolve.
-XMTCPSYS dataset variable NAMENODE was blank because the
128-byte CONTACT was reduced to 64, then NAMENODE, then
64 bytes are inserted to keep the original SEGLEN.

Thanks to DJ Chen, AST/Southwood Shared Resource Center, USA.
Change 35.061 Enhancement for PDB.ASUMCELP (per-LPAR CEC data) adds the
VMXG70PR variable SMT_NUM to identify the SMT Mode of zIIPs, from
Mar 7, 2017 the PDB.TYPE70EN dataset, and protection if that dataset
was not copied to the PDB data library. SMT_NUM will be a
missing value for PHYSICAL and IFL-Only LPARS, or LPARS
with no zIIPs.
Change 35.060 Enhancement for SMF 120 Subtype 11 TYP120BL new variables
VMAC120 containing TOTAL, CP ONLY, and ZIP ONLY CPU times:
Mar 5, 2017 SM120BCPUTM='TOTAL*CPUTIME*USED*BCA1-BBZ1'
SM120BCPCPUTM='CP ONLY*CPUTIME*USED*BCA2-BBZ2'
SM120BZIPCPUTM='ZIP ONLY*CPUTIME*USED'
are calculated, thanks to the IBM WebSphere Developer who
educated me that the 16-byte binary TIMEUSED format used
in this record for the START and END Accumulated CPU data
contains two 8-byte CPU times: the TOTAL CP+ZIIP in the
first 8 bytes and the CP ONLY CPU time in the second 8.
Thanks to Giuseppe Giacomodonato, EPVTECH, ITALY.

Change 35.055 Support for Mainview for IP PTF BPN2331 that adds
VMACMVIP variable TNDSTATX='CONNECTION*STATE*ACTIVE*CLOSED?'
Mar 1, 2017 variable to the I490 dataset.
Change 35.054 -RMF Monitor III enhancement for OPD (OMVS Process Data)
ADOCRMFV table character data filtering and usability.
ASMRMFV -These filters are intended for building ad hoc MXG RMF
VMACRMFV III PDBs for studies avoiding the overhead of generating
Mar 1, 2017 a full OPD table-based PDB. They control which OPD table
entries are output to the RMFBSAM file.
-Five new filters are added to support OPD entry selection
from this table to the RMFBSAM output file. These
filters are effective only if the OPD table is selected.
They are applied in the order shown when multiple
different keywords are used.
New Keyword Aliases
------------ ------------------------------------------
OPDPROCNAME= OPDPROCNA=, OPDPROCNM=, OPDPROC=, OSDPROC=
OPDPN=
OPDJOBNAME= OPDJOBNA=, OPDJOBNM=, OPDJOB=, OPDJN=
OPDUSERNAME= OPDUSERNA=, OPDUSERNM=, OPDUSER=, OPDUN=
OPDAND None
OPDOR None
The order of OPD filter application is:
1) OPDPROCNAME=
2) OPDJOBNAME=
3) OPDUSERNAME=
-TUTORIAL:
Ranges of the form keyword=first:last may be used with
any of the above keywords except OPDAND and OPDOR.
The colon character ':' is required for a paired range
specification. All entries GE the first value and LE the
last value are selected for output to the RMFBSAM file.
The first value may not exceed the last value in EBCDIC
collating sequence or an error is flagged.
Single unpaired values may be specified for a range
simply as keyword=first and in this case the colon ':' is
omitted.
Patterns may also be used with any of the above keywords
except OPDAND and OPDOR and include one or more Wild Card
characters to match the respective OPD data field.
A pattern contains one or more special Wild Card
characters as follows:
Wild
Card Matches
---- ------------------------------------------------
* 0 or more characters
% 1 Non-blank character
+ 1 Numeric character (0-9)
_ 1 Alphabetic character or _ (a-z, A-Z, _)
. 1 National character (@, #, $)
! 1 Special character (not a-z, A-Z, 0-9, @, #, $)
? A blank string if used by itself
? 1 Blank character (X'40') if used with any other
characters
Ranges may not be wild carded. If wild carded the range
value becomes a pattern instead and is processed as such.
See Section 25 "Ranges and Patterns" in the ADOCRMFV
member or ASMRMFV source code for more details on usage
of ranges and patterns.
-OPDPROCNAME= selects OPD tables by 1-8 character z/OS JCL
Procedure Name. Proc Name characters are validated to
those allowed by JCL syntax. Both ranges and patterns
with wild cards may be specified. Up to 16 ranges and 16
patterns are supported. The default is OPDPROCNAME=ALL.
NOTE: There is only ONE OSDPROC field per OPD table. If
the OPDPROCNAME= value does not match, then the ENTIRE
OPD table with all entries is excluded. Use OPDPROCNAME=
with care and discretion and only if the OSDPROC contents
are well understood. Almost always OSDPROC is simply
'OMVS'.
-OPDJOBNAME= selects OPD entries by 1-8 character z/OS
Job Name. Job Name characters are validated to those
allowed by JCL syntax. Both ranges and patterns with
wild cards may be specified. Up to 32 ranges and 32
patterns are supported. The default is OPDJOBNAME=ALL.
Job Names must be 1-8 characters in length and may
include any characters A-Z, #, $, or @. Numeric digits
(0-9) may be used only after the first character.
-Examples for OPDJOBNAME= :
OPDJN=PROD1234:PROD5678 selects only address spaces with
a z/OS Job Name GE 'PROD1234' and LE 'PROD5678' as a
range. Note use of the keyword alias OPDJN for coding
convenience.
OPDJOBNAME=.* is a pattern that selects only address
spaces with a Job Name that begins with a national
character.
OPDJOBNAME=*++ is a pattern that selects only address
spaces with a Job Name that ends with 2 numeric digits.
OPDJOBNAME=ABC:ABC88888 is a range that selects only
address spaces with a Job Name that is GE 'ABC ' and
LE 'ABC88888'.
-OPDUSERNAME= selects OPD entries by 1-8 character z/OS
User Name. User Name characters are validated to those
allowed by JCL syntax. Both ranges and patterns with
wild cards may be specified. Up to 32 ranges and 32
patterns are supported. The default is OPDUSERNAME=ALL.
User Ids must be 1-8 characters in length (1-7 characters
for TSO Ids) and may include any characters A-Z, #, $, or
@. Numeric digits (0-9) may be used only after the first
character.
-Examples for OPDUSERNAME= :
OPDUSERNAME=JOE8888 selects only address spaces with a
login User Name of 'JOE8888'.
OPDUSERNAME=JOE:JOE8888 selects only address spaces with
a login User Name that is GE 'JOE' and LE 'JOE8888'.
OPDUSERNAME=.* selects only address spaces with a login
User Name that begins with a national character (@, #,
$).
OPDUSERNAME=*++ selects only address spaces with a login
User Name that ends with 2 numeric digits (00-99).
-OPDAND (default) indicates that selection results from
the two different OPD filter keywords are logically
ANDed.
-OPDOR indicates that selection results from the two
different OPD filter keywords are logically ORed.
Example 1 with OPDAND in effect:
OPDJOBNAME=ABC* OPDUSERNAME=SAM*
only selects Address Spaces in the RMF Monitor III
OPD table that have a Job Name starting with 'ABC'
AND a User Name beginning with 'SAM'.
Otherwise the Address Space is filtered and will NOT
appear in the result MXG PDB.
The logical AND results in more restrictive
filtering because 2 conditions must be met for an
OPD entry to be selected.
Example 2 with OPDOR in effect:
OPDJOBNAME=ABC* OPDUSERNAME=SAM*
selects Address Spaces in the RMF Monitor III OPD table
that have a Job Name starting with 'ABC' OR a User Name
beginning with 'SAM'.
If the Address Space does not match either selection it
is filtered and will not appear in the result MXG PDB.
The logical OR results in less restrictive filtering than
Example 1 above because any of the 2 conditions results
in data selection of an OPD entry.
-The JOBNAME= (alias JOB=) keyword for multi-table
selection is expanded to include job names from the OPD
table as well as the ASI and CSR tables. This is a
convenience feature to avoid having to code the Job Name
parameter three times when the same job names from all
three tables are of interest.
-The ASI, CSR, and OPD tables must all be selected for the
JOBNAME= multi-table selection keyword to function
completely. Otherwise only entries from selected tables
are filtered.
Note that most RMF III tables do not contain common
character data fields, but in this case the ASI, CSR, and
OPD tables all do contain a Job Name.
JOBNAME= Examples:
JOBNAME=ABC88888 selects only address spaces with a Job
Name of 'ABC88888' in either ASI, CSR, or OPD tables and
is equivalent to coding:
ASIJOBNAME=ABC88888
CSRJOBNAME=ABC88888
OPDJOBNAME=ABC88888
JOBNAME=ABC:ABC88888 selects only address spaces with a
Job Name that is GE 'ABC' and LE 'ABC88888' in either
ASI, CSR, or OPD tables and is equivalent to coding:
ASIJOBNAME=ABC:ABC88888
CSRJOBNAME=ABC:ABC88888
OPDJOBNAME=ABC:ABC88888
JOBNAME=.* selects only address spaces with a Job Name
that begins with a national character in either ASI, CSR,
or OPD tables and id equivalent to coding:
CSRJOBNAME=.*
OPDJOBNAME=.*
-Some RMFV001I Execution Environment messages have been
reformatted to include DFSMS/MVS version, CPC Name, LPAR
Name (if not a VM Guest), or VM Userid (if a VM Guest).
TIOT statistics are now grouped on the same message line.
-The Creation date was not valid when non-VSAM data set
was incorrectly provided as a RMF III data set. CRDATE
is removed from the RMFV008I message in this case.
-The MXG00 record version is raised to x'07' from x'06'.
New fields added to the MXG00 record are:
IPL timestamp in LOCAL and GMT time
IPL volume serial
TIOT size in K and bytes
TIOT maximum and used entries
CPC Name, LPAR Name, and VM UserId
DFSMS/MVS level
-Several documentation Sections are updated to support
the above changes:
Section 5 "Input Data Selection Parameters"
Section 12 "Messages"
Section 13 "Filtered Records"
Section 25 "Ranges and Patterns"
Section 30 "Summary"
-VMACRMFV was updated to add new variables to ZRBASM:

Change 35.053 SYSOTHER checking is enhanced. Test for CPUTM NE 0 added
VMXGRMFI to SYSOTHER detection, since if the CPUTM is 0 it cannot
Feb 28, 2017 impact totals, but workload names and descriptions are
identified so you can find the culprit, since nothing
should ever fall thru to Service Class SYSOTHER.
Change 35.052 DATETIME syntax was revised per change 35.022, although
TRNDVMXA the new VMXGSUM correctly supported the old syntax with
Feb 28, 2017 no error.
Change 35.051 Support for Liberty 17.0.0.1 SMF 120 Subtype 12 COMPAT
VMAC120 enhancements, adds these variables to TYP12012 dataset:
Feb 28, 2017 SM120CDO='REFERENCE*TYPE' MG120CD format decodes:
1='1:READER'
2='2:PROCESSOR'
3='3:WRITER'
4='4:CHECKPOINT'
5='5:BATCHLET'
6='6:PARTITION_MAPPER'
7='7:PARTITION_REDUCER'

SM120CDY='SM120CDY*FLAGS'
Next six variables are only valid in step end record
SM120CDZ='STEP*START*LIMIT'
SM120CEA='CHUNK*STEP*CHECKPOINT*POLICY' decodes:

SM120CEB='CHUNK*STEP*ITEM*COUNT'
SM120CEC='CHUNK*STEP*TIME*LIMIT'
SM120CED='CHUNK*STEP*SKIP*LIMIT'
SM120CEE='CHUNK*STEP*RETRY*LIMIT'
Change 35.050 PDB.ASUMCELP REQUIRES SMF 70s from ALL SYSTEMs to be read
VMXG70PR to correctly populate all variables. Each SMF 70 record
Feb 27, 2017 contains a "This System" segment that populates TYPE70,
and an "LPAR Segment" for each LPAR, for TYPE70PR, so the
LPAR data can be reported & summarized from a SMF 70 from
only one system, but then all the "This System" variables
are wrong, notably, SMF70LAC, the IBM 4HR AVG MSU, which
will contain ONLY the MSU from the one "This System".
This change compares TYPE70 and TYPE70PR to detect if
there are missing TYPE70 or TYPE70PR data, printing a
a PROC FREQ with missing systems identified, and printing
a log message that SMF70LAC will be wrong.
Change 35.049 Support for MAINVIEW FOR IMS 5.3 a/k/a IMF or CIMS which
VMACCIMS COMPATIBLY added these variables to the CIMSTRAN dataset:
Mar 12, 2017 TRNMSYS ='MQ*REMOTE*SYSTEM*NAME'
TRNDSYS ='DB2*REMOTE*SYSTEM*NAME'
TRNFLTRD='SOME*CALLS*NOT TRACED*FILTERS?'
TRNPRELD='PGM*WAS*PRELOADED'
TRNINFL ='TRN WAS*CAUGHT*INFLIGHT'
Change 35.048 Support for IWS Version 9.3, a/k/a TWS and was OPC, which
VMACOPC replaces subtype 23 with new subtype 66 with the original
Feb 24, 2017 variables plus these four new variables
TRLDURS23='DURATION'
TRLOID23 ='OPERATION*ID'
TRLOLDST23='OLD*STATUS'
TRLREADY23='START*DATETIME*WAIT*OPR'
The new subtype 66 record is output in the OPC23 dataset
so your reports won't have to be changed.
Thanks to Teuvo Virsu, TIETO,
Change 35.047 Support for IFCID 316 ACCESS CONTROL AUTH EXIT PARMS.
VMAC102
Feb 24, 2017
Change 35.046 Support for IFCID 125 Truncated Package Collection and
FORMATS Package Name fields, and new variables for Runtime
VMAC102 Adaptive Index in T102S125 dataset:

QW0125_FRSN='REASON*LEG*WAS*MARKED FULL?'
Change 35.045 ANALDB2R variable QWHSRELN format expanded from 3.1 to
ANALDB2R 4.1 to print full 10.1 Release value in reports.
Feb 20, 2017
Change 35.044 -The new ZRBCPU SMT Multithreading variables were always
VMACRMFV missing due to an invalid MXG test for LENLEFT.
Feb 20, 2017 -New variables found in the Dec 2016 Programmers Guide:
Dataset ZRBCPU:
CPC_CECNAME='CPC*CEC*NAME'
LPARHWGR='LPAR*HW*GROUP*NAME'
Dataset ZRBLCP:
LCPUHWLW='HW*GROUP*CAP*LIMIT'
LPARHWGR='LPAR*HW*GROUP*NAME'
-APAR OA58688 adds these new fields.
Thanks to MP Welch, Bank of America, USA.
Change 35.043 SMF74NID, the Network ID, contains 26 EBCDIC and 2 hex
VMAC74 bytes that don't "print pretty". Variable SMF74NIDTWO
Feb 20, 2017 keeps those two bytes, formatted $HEX4. for printing.
Thanks to Pierre Pascal Joulin, Societe Generale, FRANCE.
Change 35.042 Sample code that creates charts of resource group CPU
GRAFCAPS usage and capping.
Feb 17, 2017
Change 35.041 DCOLLECT format MGDCOSG adds new 6='6:COPYPOOL' value to
FORMATS map that value in variable DSGFTYPE.

Change 35.040A IBM APAR OA51325 corrects invalid SMF 15 record missing
VMAC1415 the UCB segment causing VOLSER to be truncated to two
Feb 17, 2017 characters. No code change to support the corrections.
Change 35.040 Support for Velocity Software ZWRITE file z/VM MONWRITE
VMACVMXA records which have a new BEGINMTR value for each (hour)
VMXGINIT period, which caused the first interval of each (hour) to
Feb 15, 2017 be lost, because normal MONWRITE records have a single
BEGINMTR value for each file. But the ZWRITE records are
contiguous in spite of changed BEGINMTR, so this support
is enabled with %LET MXGZWRITE=YES; in SYSIN which
will set BEGINMTR only from the first instance so only
the very first interval is lost per day.
// EXEC MXGSASV9
//VMINPUT DD DSN=YOUR.ZWRITE.MONWRITE.DATA,DISP=SHR
//PDB DD DSN=YOUR.ZWRITE.PDB,DISP=OLD
//SYSIN DD *
%LET MXGZWRITE=YES;
%INCLUDE SOURCLIB(VMACVMXA,IMACKEEP);
_TESTVM /*READS VMINPUT */

Change 35.039 MQMQUEUE variable WQQTYPE is mapped by MG116QT format
FORMATS VALUE MG116QT
VMAC116 1='1:LOCAL'
Feb 15, 2017 2='2:MODEL'
3='3:ALIAS'
6='6:REMOTE'
7='7:CLUSTER'
-GMTOFF116 calculation revised correcting occasional
missing values in WQCLOSTI, WQOPENTI, and WQTTTIME.
(WQCLOSTI can be validly missing).
-APAR PI70580 corrects invalid WQBASENA variable values,
which seem to occur in every second segment in each
SMF record, but other segment's values are valid.
Thanks to Raymond Smith, Optum TECH, USA.
Thanks to Pietro Rosella, Canadian National Rails, CANADA
Change 35.038 MXG 34.04 added PROC DELETE DATA=:CIC after PDB.CICINTRV
CICINTRV had been created, intending to delete ONLY CICS Stats
VMXGCICI datasets to free up //WORK space for subsequent use, but
Feb 14, 2017 if CICINTRV was intentionally left in //WORK, it was then
unintentionally deleted by that colon modifier, and ITRM
expected it to be left in WORK as it had been previously.
Since no one had actually asked for this cleanup, it has
been removed from VMXGCIC. But, added at the bottom of
the CICINTRV member, inside a comment block, is the code
to delete all of those CICS Stats, if you do wish to.
Thanks to Don Barnard, North Carolina State Government, USA.
Thanks to Chris Weston, SAS Institute ITRM, USA.
Change 35.037 ASUMDB2P expected variables QPACDBRM/QPACPACK would be
ANALDB2R populated, but those bits were removed in DB2 V10, so now
ASUMDB2P PACKTYPE is blank.
Feb 14, 2017 -ANALD2R was not correctly rolling up the control break
totals in the Accounting SHORT report.
Change 35.036 VMXGSUM will now tell you with an MXGNOTE when it cannot
VMXGSUM use CLASS NWAY and why it cannot. There are two cases:
Feb 11, 2017 - Use of DESCENDING in the SUMBY
- same dataset name for input and output and no OUTCODE
specified
It will also now display the final setting of SUMBYCLASS.
Thanks to Tim Hare, Southwood Shared Resource Center, USA.
====== Changes thru 35.035 are in this MXG 35.02 dated Feb 10, 2017=====
Change 35.035 Protection for Invalid TPX Subtype 7 record with Segment
VMACTPX TPX07LEN=93 but only 44 bytes remain in the record. MXG
Feb 10, 2017 silently deleted the record, because of prior invalid 07x
Feb 14, 2017 causing zero obs in TPXAPLON Logon dataset. The first 44
are now INPUT, and the remainder conditionally input.
-Feb 14: Correction for undocumented 8 byte insert
in '06' and a blank in TPXSNAME.
-Feb 14: Each pair of subtype 01 TPXSTART records have the
same SMF time, but the second record is a continuation of
the first record, which is not supportable; a problem
report will be opened with TPX Support.
-TPX PTFS R088919 and R085818 correct some errors, while
CA Fix TR95030 corrects the bad subtype 1 records which
turned out to subtype 2 records with wrong subtype.
Thanks to Scott Wiig, USBank, USA.
Thanks to Paul Volpi, UHC, USA.
Change 35.034 Support for the BBMQ large segment record structure that
VMACBBMQ are created by the BMC BBM9MD73 utility program that
Feb 10, 2017 extracts the records from the history file for TYPEBBMQ
to then process. Both old and new format records are
supported with this change and there were no changes to
the MXG datasets. This is support for BBMQ 5.3.
Change 35.033 Logic to determine the begin/end of month was robusted
VMXGALOC and non-zero length MNTHKEEP will always display the
Feb 9, 2017 MONTH Libname value.
Change 35.032 Documentation Only. DCOLLECT records can contain the JOB
VMACDCOL and STEP and the TIME of the Creating JOB for DISP=NEW
Feb 9, 2017 datasets, but the EATTR option must be specified either
in the DATACLASS definition or with a DD statement.
Thanks to Paul Newton, IBM RDP Dallas, USA.
Change 35.031 Variable S42DSIOS='RW TO*METRO*MIRROR*SECONDARY' is added
VMACDB2 to dataset TYPE42DS, having been overlooked.
Feb 9, 2017
Thanks to Stephen Hoar, Lloyds Banking, ENGLAND
Change 35.030 DB2 statistics dataset DB2STAT4 QW0225_LMWRITE_REAL and
VMACDB2 _QW0225_LMCTYRL_REAL were incorrectly very large due to
Feb 7, 2017 a 4-byte misalignment.
Thanks to Giuseppe Giacomodonato, EPVTECH, ITALY.
Change 35.029 RACF SMF70DTP/RACFTYPE=6 segment was increased in length
VMAC80A from 124 to 136 but had not been protected for a change.
Feb 7, 2017 Three additional keyword variables ADDLKEY1-ADDLKEY3
are added to TYPE8010 and TYPE8013 datasets.
Thanks to Coen Wessels, GTS Infrastructure, SWITZERLAND.
Change 35.028 Support for RMF III dataset ZRBENC new "long name" fields
ASMRMFV that were added by z/OS 2.1 but not captured by ASMRMFV.
VMACRMFV Variables EDEPCKG EDEPROC EDEUSER EDETRXN ECEACCT were
Feb 6, 2017 increased in length and these new variables are kept:
EDESCHEDENV ='SCHEDULING*ENVIRONMENT*NAME'
EDESCHEDENVLN ='S E NAME LENGTH'
EDESUBSYSCOLLECT ='SUBSYSTEM*COLLECTION*NAME'
EDEPCKGLN ='PACKAGE*NAME*LENGTH'
EDEPROCLN ='PROCEDURE*NAME*LENGTH'
EDECLIENTIPADDR ='CLIENT*IP*ADDRESS'
EDECLIENTIPADDRLN ='CLIENT*IP*ADDRESS*LENGTH'
EDEUSERLN ='CLIENT*USERID*LENGTH'
EDETRXNLN ='CLIENT*TRANSACTION*NAME*LENGTH'
EDECLIENTWRKSTATION ='CLIENT*WORKSTATION'
EDECLIENTWRKSTALN ='CLIENT*WORKSTATION*LENGTH'
EDEACCTLN ='CLIENT*ACCOUNT*LENGTH'
Thanks to Scott Barry, SBBWorks Inc., USA.
Change 35.027 Support for DB2 NETEZZA DB2ACCT Q8AC Accumulated fields:
IMACDBNZ Q8ACINSC='INSERT*STATEMENTS*SENT TO IDAA*FROM DB2'
Feb 6, 2017 Q8ACUPDC='UPDATE*STATEMENTS*SEND TO IDAA*FROM DB2'
Q8ACDELC='DELETE*STATEMENTS*SEND TO IDAA*FROM DB2'

Q8ACROWU='ROWS*UPDATED*ON IDAA*BY DB2'
Q8ACROWD='ROWS*DELETED*ON IDAA*BY DB2'
Q8ACROWC='ROWS*RETURNED*BY IDAA*TO DB2'
These variables are output in DB2ACCT, but they appear
to be defective, as they are supposed to be ACCUMULATED
but the 2012 and 2013 test data I have has breaks in the
expected monotonic increase, so if you are interested in
these fields, please send current SMF 101 data so I can
investigate if the accumulation is now valid.
Change 35.026 If MXG detects Service Class Name of SYSOTHER, error msgs
UTILRMFI are printed when SMF 72 records are processed. SYSOTHER
Feb 1, 2017 should never happen; it is the fall thru service class
when WLM can't classify work and runs at the lowest DPRTY
in MTTW mode, and thus should NOT ever happen! Now, when
UTILRMFI is run to examine the problem, it will also read
the PDB.SMFINTRV or PDB.TYPE30_4 dataset to find what
tasks were classified into SYSOTHER, reporting JOB name,
READTIME, JESNR, and SRVCLASS and RPTCLASS. If there are
type 30 records they will be reported but there may not
be any, if no tasks actually went to the service classes,
or the workload is one where there is no type 30 record
(e.g., DDF). All workloads in your WLM classification
rules should have a default service class SPECIFIED:
-Unclassified work will default to one of two places
- Started Tasks default to SYSSTC
- All other work defaults to SYSOTHER
Neither is a good choice. SYSSTC runs at very high DP
and SYSOTHER runs at very LOW DP. While very low may be
appropriate for workloads you do not know, very high is
almost certainly not.
-Reports 1 thru 3 already exist.
-Report 4 is added to give you the job names, read times
jes numbers, service and report class where the service
class is SYSOTHER, from 30_4 and SMFINTRV.
-Report 5 is added to show you any DB2ACCT records that
may have landed in SYSOTHER as they may not be in a type
30 record.
-Report 6 is added to show you all tasks falling into
SYSSTC, from 30_4, SMFINTRV and 30_6.
-Report 7 is added as a table of CPU consumption by
service class and system, from TYPE72GO.
-Report 8 is added as a table of CPU consumption
by report class and system from TYPE72GO.
Change 35.025 Using the _VMINPUT macro to read VB z/VM MONWRITE data
VMACVMXA incorrectly set the length of VMDUSER to only one byte.
Feb 1, 2017
Thanks to Scott Barry, SBBWorks Inc., USA.
Change 35.024 SMF 120 Subtype 9 variables SM1209EV/EW/SM1209FI are not
VMAC120 kept. In TYP1209U detail dataset, they are output either
Feb 3, 2017 in new variables SM1209xxEJBDET or SM1209xxWEBDET, and in
datasets TYP1209R and TYP1209N they are summed and output
in SM1209xxEJB and SM1209xxWIB variables.
The TIME format was removed from the EW count variables.
Thanks to Giuseppe Giacomodonato, EPVTECH, ITALY.
Change 35.023 MXG 35.01. If UTILEXCL executed with //PDB DD DISP=OLD,
UTILEXCL only the NEW dictionary records read from SMF are used
Jan 29, 2017 to create the IMACEXCL, and old dictionary records are
lost; only the new records are output in PDB.CICSDICT.
(The step DATA _LCICDIC; SET _WCICDIC; to add the LABEL
was changed to SET _LCICDIC to correct this error.)
Thanks to Matthew Chappell, QLD Dept Transport Main Roads, AUSTRALIA
Change 35.022 ANCIENT syntax of DATETIME in SUMBY in user tailored
VMXGSUM invocation of VMXGSUM (pre MXG Version 21 example!) can
Jan 29, 2017 cause VMXGSUM, which is used EXTENSIVELY internally in
MANY MXG members, to fail, sometimes with only a message
WARNING: VARIABLE QWACBSC ALREADY EXISTS ON WORK.MXGSUM3
or it can ABEND with ERROR FUNCTION COMPBL TOO FEW ARGS.
Only three sites reported the error with MXG 35.01/34.34.
Primary exposure was this syntax,
SUMBY= . . .DATETIME . . . ,
ID= . . . QWACBSC . . . ,
DATETIME= QWACBSC,
which caused the output dataset variables QWACBSC and
DATETIME have missing values.
The correct syntax replaces DATETIME in the SUMBY= :
with the DATETIME= variable, and removes the DATETIME=
variable from the ID= argument,
This error was exposed in MXG 34.05 in Change 34.151 for
the CLASSNWAY update that is also corrected. But, even
though unlikely, this change detects the old syntax with
DATETIME in SUMBY= argument, changes to correct syntax,
and tells you what was done for you in a log note.
If you had DATETIME in the SUMBY= list and also did NOT
explicitly use the DROPDT=NO option, then DATETIME
variable is kept in the output dataset.
-Unrelated, this change adds the FLORCEIL parameter to
VMXGSUM so you can create interval start or end times as
you can do in VMXGDUR. Setting FLORCEIL=CDIL sets the END
time or FLORCEIL=FLOOR sets the START time, and the label
indicates START or END.
-Note: this internal MXG Change could be INCOMPATIBLE with
programs that worked perfectly previously; send your code
VMXGSUM invocation and we will update your code.
Thanks to Paul Volpi, UHC, USA.
Change 35.021 MXG 35.01, TYPE78PA variables R782LSMOxx and R782GFMOxxx
VMAC78 and R782GFFRxxx are incorrect; R782LSMOMIN should have
Jan 27, 2017 been INPUT before R782LSMONTME, but statement was lost
causing R782LSMOMIM UNINIT message.
Thanks to Paul Naddio, FISERV, USA.
Change 35.020 MXG 35.01. Spurious MXGWARN: VMXGSUM BACKLEVEL MXG 3434
VMXGSUM note has no impact; the VMXGDUM in 35.01 is correct, but
Jan 25, 2017 the VMXGVERS call was not updated with '35.01' text.
Change 35.019 -Support for changed SYTCPU with SYTNLPS=1 SEGLEN=48
VMACXAM that caused INVALID SEGMENT record, XAMSYT dataset.
Jan 26, 2017 -Support for new SYTLC3 segment in XAMSYS records
Mar 2, 2017 was added on March 2, adding these new variables:
CALLCKID='CALL*CHECKID'
INDEX ='TO MATCH*HISTORY DATA'
SECONDS ='SECONDS'
CALXSCNT='TOTAL*SPIN*TIMES*EXCLUSIVE'
CALXTIME='TOTAL*SPIN*TIME'
CALSSCNT='SPIN*TIMES*SHARED'
CALSTIME='SPIN*TIME*SHARED*MODE'
CALCADSH='CAD*INSTRUCTIONS*OBTAIN*LOCK'
CALCADEX='CAD*INSTRUCT*OBTAIN*EXCL LOCK'
-Support for new HSTME2 segment in XAMTCP was added
on March 2, changing only the length of DESCR to
60 bytes.
Thanks to Patricia Hansen, ADP, USA.
Change 35.018 An extraneous character in the SU_SEC format raised a
GRAFWRKX WARNING but did not cause an error, but ZIPTM, IFATM, and
Jan 26, 2017 ZIETM were not being properly summed, causing the ZIP ZAP
and ZIE graphs to be suppressed.
-ODS PROCLABEL statements added to make the index 'pretty'
when creating HTML or PDF output.
Thanks to Tom MacCabe, Dominion Resources Services, Inc., USA.
Change 35.017 New DB2 ZPARMs are added to T102S106 Dataset:
VMAC102 QWP4MNSU='MATERIALIZE*NODET*SQLTUDF?'

Change 35.016 DB2STATS dataset, these seven storage variables
VMACDB2 QISTWSTG QISTDGTTSTG QISTDGTTCTO QISTDGTTMXU
Jan 24, 2017 QISTWFSTG QISTWFCTO QISTWFMXU
were multiplied by 4096 (page size) instead of by 1024
to convert KB to bytes for MGBYTES. format.
Thanks to Giuseppe Giacomodonato, EPVTECH, ITALY.
Change 35.015 Support for SMF 117 written by GTZ (conflicts with 117
VMAC117 from Message Broker), now GTZ record is ID=125.
VMAC125 -If you use TYPE117, it will delete any GTZ records and
Jan 20, 2017 tell you that they were NOT Message Broker records.
-To process the 117s from GTZ, use this in //SYSIN DD
until you have the APAR that writes them as 125's:
%LET MACFILE=
%QUOTE(IF ID=117 THEN DO;
INPUT @15+OFFSMF SM117SSI $EBCDIC4. @;
IF SM117SSI='GTZ ' THEN ID=125;
END;
);
and tell MXG to process both 117 and 125 records.
====== Changes thru 35.014 are in this MXG 35.01 dated Jan 20, 2017=====
Change 35.014 A variable with DATETIME embedded in the name caused an
VMXGSUM branch in the code building the SUMBY string and caused
Jan 19, 2017 the SORT to fail with a variable not found.
Thanks to Matthew Chappell, QLD Dept Transport Main Roads, AUSTRALIA
Change 35.013 If you used AUTOALOC=YES with RUNMNTH=MTD on the second
BLDSMPDB day of the month, the previous month may have been
Jan 18, 2017 deleted.
Change 35.012 Old protection for APAR OA24074 caused ZERO DIVIDE ID=70
VMAC7072 if CPUUPTM and CPUPATTM were identical, now protected.
Jan 18, 2017
Thanks to Job Varkey, Verisk Analytics, USA.
Thanks to Cesar V. Cocco, Verisk Analytics, USA.
Change 35.011 For local time zones with +GMT, variable GMT115TM was
VMAC115 one hour too large, fortunately impacting only variables
Jan 17, 2017 QJSTIOMAXIOT1-4 and QJSTIOMAXSUST1-4 in MQMLOG dataset.
Thanks to Matthew Chappell, QLD Dept Transport Main Roads, AUSTRALIA
Change 35.010 OSEM User SMF INPUT STATEMENT EXCEEDED, invalid record
VMACOSEM with length of last segment not provided if there was
Jan 26, 2017 more than one segment. The year 2000 vendor DSECT does
Apr 3, 2018 show a '00'x terminates the record, so that is now used
to detect the length of the last segment.
Code sent in Mar, 2018 but VMACOSEM updated in 36.04.
Thanks to Nilton D Junior, IBM, BRAZIL.
Change 35.009 Support for APAR OA48913 metrics for 2GB Memory Frames.

Jan 12, 2017
Thanks to Michael Friske, FMR, USA.
Change 35.007 Liberty SMF 120 subtype 12 TYP12012 dataset variables
VMAC120 SM120CCC and SM120CCD had year 2027 plus 1 day later
Jan 12, 2017 because MXG added the DEL6070 seconds between 1960-1970
TWICE. Variable SM120CCB, also on the 1970 epoch, was
correct as DEL6070 (315619200) was only added ONCE.
Thanks to Steve McKee, FMR, USA.
Change 35.006 Duplicate RMFINTRV obs were created if multiple Capacity
VMXGRMFI Group Names existed in the TYPE70PR data; MXG did not
Jan 10, 2017 select the obs with SYSTEM=SMF70STN and inadvertently
Jan 25, 2017 output duplicated records; Most values were exact dupes,
but SMF70GNM SMF70GMU TOTMEMR values were different.
-This error was introduced in MXG 34.01, Change 34.029.
-Protected archaic DURSET and DETAIL interval Jan 25.
Thanks to Joachim Sarkoschitz, DATEV, DENMARK.
Thanks to Frank Fischer, Concordia, GERMANY.
Change 35.005 RMF III dataset ZRBLCP observations were created for each
VMACRMFV LCPUADDR in the LPAR, only if the LCPU Dispatch Time was
Jan 10, 2017 non-zero, but that test is changed to output LCPUADDRs
that are ONLINE (by testing LCPUONL), so that ZRBLCP has
an observation for every ONLINE LCPU Address, to match
the RMF CPC screen data.
Thanks to MP Welch, Bank of America, USA.
Change 35.004 MXG 34.34. Debugging PROC CONTENTS statements were left
UTILEXCL that caused DATASET PDB.CICSDICT NOT FOUND errors, if the
Jan 10, 2017 //PDB DD had DISP=NEW, Lines 891, 892, and 898 need to be
deleted, but that only exposed a second error causing the
same error message; the PROC APPEND had transposed the _W
and _L tokens - Base must be _L and NEW must be _W.
Thanks to Tom MacCabe, Dominion Resources Services, Inc., USA.
Change 35.003 Cosmetic. Variables ADSRXXXX, ADSRYYYY, ADSR5ST are now
VMACEREP converted to EBCDIC..
Jan 6, 2017
Change 35.002 Another INVALID SMF RECORD Informatica POWER EXCHANGE
VMACPOEX caused STOPOVER ABEND because POEXLEN=52 but there are
Jan 6, 2017 are only 32 bytes left in the record; its missing the
last five counters for the Client POEXCLIE dataset.
Datetime variables POEXSTRX/POEXENDX are now kept.
Thanks to Scott Wiig, USBank, USA.
Change 35.001 The year end interval with STARTTIME=31DEC2016:23:55:00
VMACNMON incorrectly had ENDTIME=01JAN2016:00:00 because MXG used
Jan 4, 2017 the AAA record's DATECH value to get the year, but that
was the date of the start of the monitor. Now, the DATE
in the ZZZZ record is used.
Thanks to Florent Boulesteix, INOVANS partenaire CAAGIS, FRANCE.

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 TS1M3 (9.4M3) printed
as "SAS 9.4 (TS1M3)" or was "SAS 9.4 (TS04.01M2P07232014)" for
"SAS 9.4 (TS1M2)" (on SASLOG, if OPTION VERSIONLONG enabled),
for SAS 9.4 Maintenance Level M3 and m2.
SAS V9.4 M3 Is RECOMMENDED, but MXG executes without error using
SAS Version 9.4 M0, M1, M2, and M3 or SAS Version 9.2 M1 and M2.
SAS V9.4 M2 is USABLE. SAS 9.4 M2 is at LEVEL A SAS Support
SAS V9.4 M1 and M0 had no errors and are at LEVEL A SAS Support
SAS V9.3 SAS 9.3 TS1M2 is USABLE. SAS 9.3 TS1M1 works.
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 ok.
9.2 is LEVEL B Support from SAS, as of Sep 30, 2013.
SAS V9.1.3 must be at Service Pack 4. Additionally, on z/OS 1.10
only, 9.1.3 requires SAS Hot Fix for SN-35332.
9.1.3 is support level C by SAS Institute, Sep 30, 2013.
SAS V9.1.3 is NOT supported by SAS on Windows SEVEN.
SAS V8.2 IS 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 34.07 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 Seven and
Eight (64-bit) on 64-bit hardware, and sometimes on Centos 6.4,
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 z/EC12 with 85+ engines required MXG 30.07.
Support for 255 engines was added in MXG 31.04.
The z/13 with 61+ LPARs requires MXG 32.05 IF NON-SMT MODE.
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.
Availability dates for the IBM products and MXG version required for
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 34.34.
1. Incompatibilities introduced in MXG 34.34:
a- Changes in MXG architecture made between 34.34 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.

NEXTCHANGE
====== Changes thru 34.284 were in this MXG 34.34 dated Jan 3, 2017====
Change 34.284 Primarily used internally by MXG. If it was being used
VMXGOPTR to restore an option to its original setting but had not
Jan 2, 2017 been previously invoked to set the option and the option
required an = (LINESIZE=xxx) it failed lacking the name
of the option and the = so LINESIZE resolved to:
OPTIONS 132;
Change 34.283 -PDBAUDIT failed if the last "PDB" data library happened
PDBAUDIT to be Sequential Format (tape), with the error message:
Dec 31, 2016 WARNING: APPARENT SYMBOLIC REFERENCE LIBCOUNT NOT RES....
Jan 1, 2016 -Could also fail if zero LIBNAMES were selected, with an
error "INVALID OPTION 132".
Thanks to Steve Gear, Integrysgroup, USA.
Change 34.282 Support for IDMS Log records (INCOMPATIBLE, as a third
VMACIDML record per event was added with additional fields).
Dec 29, 2016 Only the IDMLOG02 TASK dataset, has been validated with
Jan 4, 2017 data records, but IDMLOG03 TRANSACTION dataset should be
valid. Unfortunately, there is no GMT offset value in the
log records, so you will need to set the value with
//SYSIN DD *
%LET MACKEEP= MACRO _GMTIDML -4 % ;
for the minus 4 hour GMT offset for US EST.
Thanks to Torstein Netland, CSC, NORWAY.
Change 34.281 IDAA variable Q8STDSKU is disk utilization not bytes, so
VMACDB2 the format and length were removed and the label changed.
Dec 27, 2016 And variables Q8STCCPU_64 Q8STWCPU_64 are also percents.
Jan 13, 2017
Thanks to Tim King, BCBSSC, USA.
Thanks to Terry Johnson, BCBSSC, USA.
====== Changes thru 34.280 were in this MXG 34.10 dated Dec 25, 2016====
Change 34.280 z/VM Linux Appl Datasets VXAPLSLM,SLN,SLP,SL0 deaccum now
VMACVMXA uses new SYNCCNT1=1 OR SYNCCNT2=1 variable's values to
Dec 18, 2016 recognize a reset in accumulated values has occurred. The
Dec 28, 2016 ancient MXG heuristic of a negative time delta to detect
a wrap of the accumulated field (plus first-dot tests)
is insufficient for these four datasets, and caused very
large values or negative values in some variables.
Also, the interval is deleted if SYNCCNT1 NE SYNCCNT2, as
that means the record was updated on the Linux side while
z/VM was still collecting the data, which could then be
inconsistent.
-Dataset VXBYUSR had observations with DELTATM=-9999 that
should not have been output, causing some negative values
in other variables.
Thanks to Graham Harris, RBS, ENGLAND.
Change 34.279 Documentation of ANCIENT z/OS, z/VM APAR OA35675 (2011).
TYPE7072 Support for z/OS under z/VM new RMF VMGUEST option with
Dec 18, 2016 APAR OA35675, populates the Partition Dispatch CPU Time
in two "simplified" Partition Data sections in TYPE 70
RMF records, one with LPARNAME='PHYSICAL' with the z/VM
CPU consumption (IBM RMF Reports LPARNAME *VMSYSTEM*),
and one with LPARNAME='VMSYSTEM' with the z/OS Partition
CPU Dispatch time. Note that SMF70ONT, Online Time is
NOT Populated. From z/VM, this bit on is STILFE.
-MXG Version 29 added variable VMSYSTEM=Y, true for Bit 5
in 2011, but only from the SMF Manual; it was a post by
Martin today that educated me to the actual impact!
Thanks to Martin Packer, IBM, EUROPE!!
====== Changes thru 34.278 were in this MXG 34.09 dated Dec 16, 2016====
Change 34.278 If you specified 0 OBS for 26J2 or 26J3 and did NOT
UTILBLDP specify SPINCNT=something then SPINCNT is set to 0 to
Dec 13, 2016 keep jobs from sitting in SPIN until the SPINCNT is
reached.
Change 34.277 New RMF III ASI fields in z/OS 2.2 suffixed with _LF are
VMACRMFV Long Floating point and with _S are Short Binary informat
Dec 9, 2016 but that was not known and they were incorrectly input.
Some of these fields contain (HATED!) accumulated values,
which have NEVER been in RMF III, and are hated because
the deaccumulation requires two more passes of the data.
But for the important CPU accumulated fields, there is
already an interval variable (e.g., ASICPUTA), so no
deaccumulation was previously necessary. But the higher
microsecond resolution of ASICPUTA_LF, records 20-40%
more CPU time than ASICPUTA, with 1 millisecond.
-However, the several fields that are accumulated are not
always monotonically increasing, so further analysis is
in progress and this text will be revised and MXG will
provide optional deaccumulation if adequate heuristics
can be tested.
Change 34.276 ASCII only, BLDSMPDB would fail to create a weekly and/or
BLDSMPDB monthly PDB if a prior error has set OBS=0, with no clue.
Dec 8, 2016 Now, BLDSMPDB will tell you there were zero observations,
in a WARNING message.
-WTD and MTD processing may have gone to the incorrect
directory - ASCII only and only with AUTOALOC=YES
-New parameter ERASESPIN will delete everything in the
SPIN libname when set to yes - primarily for MXG support
-Checks added to ensure that PDB SPIN TREND WEEK WTD MONTH
and MTD libnames are allocated as needed by the other
parameters used. In the case of WTD/MTD if they are not
found but WEEK/MONTH are a warning is issued and the
libnames that were found are substitute
Change 34.275 Support for ASG/TMON for DB2 IDAA SA and SB records
EXTMD2SA creates three new datasets:
EXTMD2SB DDDDDD DATASET DESCRIPTION
EXTMD2SX TMD2SA TMD2SA IDAA SA Summary
IMACTMD2 TMD2SB TMD2SB IDAA SB Summary
VMACTMD2 TMD2SX TMD2SBD IDAA SB Detail
VMXGINIT
Dec 12 2016
Thanks to Daniel Hamiel, NedBank, SOUTH AFRICA.
Thanks to Mike Lotter, NedBank, SOUTH AFRICA.
Change 34.274 Support for CICS/TS 5.4 Beta 6 INCOMPAT, new CICSTRAN
EXCICMQR fields inserted.
FORMATS -New variables added to CICSTRAN:
IMAC110 ASFREECT='EXEC CICS*FREE CHILD*COUNT'
UTILEXCL ASFTCHCT='EXEC CICS*FETCH*COMMANDS'
VMAC110 ASFTCHCN='ASYNC API*FETCH*WAIT*COUNT'
VMXGINIT ASFTCHTM='ASYNC API*FETCH*WAIT*DURATION'
Dec 15, 2016 ASNATCN='ASYNC API*RUN DELAYEDCOUNT'
ASRMATTM='ASYNC API*RUN DELAYED*DURATION'
ASRUNCT ='EXEC CICS*RUN*TRANSID*COUNT'
ASTOTCT ='ASYNC API*COMMANDS*COUNT'
PTCOUNT ='PREVIOUS*TRANSACTION*COUNT'
PTSTART ='PREVIOUS*TRANSACTION*START*DATETIME'
PTTRAN ='PREVIOUS*TRANSACTION*TRANSID'
PTTRANNO='PREVIOUS*TRANSACTION*sequence*number'
-New CICMQR MQ Monitor statistics dataset from STID=148
is created.
Change 34.273 Internal restructure of ASMRMFV for possible performance
ADOCRMFV improvements and better design for maintenance.
ASMRMFV -Mitigate Store In Instruction Stream (SIIS) conditions
Dec 6, 2016 and other improvements.
-Updating data imbedded in an instruction stream or
modifying instructions results in additional CPU overhead
maintaining the data and instruction caches.
-ASMRMFV is changed to isolate and align all data used in
subroutines on 256 byte cache boundary lines. This
increases the size of the ASMRMFV load module about 7% to
about 272K.
-IBM Service Call macros for OPEN, CLOSE, RDJFCB, and so
on are split into Execute and List forms because standard
macro expansions update parameters in the instruction
stream.
-Limited volume testing showed about a 1% CPU Time
reduction that may vary in actual production use.
-The MODCB Service Call function is no longer used to
alter the VSAM ACB and RPL control blocks. ASMRMFV only
makes trivial changes to these during processing and
Execute and List forms of MODCB generated a lot of
instructions.
-The MODCBERR subroutine used to process MODCB errors
is deleted.
Change 34.272 Support for the MQ SMF 115 Subtype 231 DSP/ADP/SSL/DNS
EXTY115A segments, each of which creates new dataset:
EXTY115D DDDDDD DATASET DESCRIPTION
EXTY115L TY115D MQMDSP MQM DISPATCHER
EXTY115N TY115A MQMADP MQM ADAPTER
IMAC115 TY115L MQMSSL MQM SSL
VMAC115 TY115N MQMDNS MQM DNS
VMXGINIT Their unique variables that were previously incorrectly
Dec 2, 2016 kept in dataset MQMCHIN have been dropped.
-Each segment contains QCTCPTM and QCTELPT, CPU & Elapsed
time; many observations have CPU Time slightly larger
than Elapsed time (largest 15 with QCTCPTM 364 seconds).
IBM Explains:
CPU start and end times are taken directly from the
TCB to minimize performance impact. This field is only
updated when the TCB is undispatched, so if the TCB
has been dispatched for a while when the TCB CPU time
is taken at the start of the request, this value
could be a bit low, which could mean that the TCB CPU
interval calculation returns a value which is slightly
high. This is as-designed, and the data is still
useful. When elapsed time and CPU time are similar,
or when CPU time appears greater than elapsed time,
the task is getting all the CPU it needs, and you can
interpret elapsed time as an approximation for CPU
time. When elapsed time is significantly larger than
CPU time, then the task is having to wait for CPU or
for some internal wait, and that difference may be of
interest.
-APAR PI46585 is required to correct negative or invalid
values in QCTWTTM, QCTLSTM, and QCXTLGTM in these new
ADP/DSP/SSL/DNP datasets.
-The subtype 215 record replaced the subtype 2 record when
OPMODE(NEWFUNC) is specified; the buffer manager data
that was output in dataset MQMBUFER is now instead output
in dataset TY115215.
Thanks to Carol Arnold, Brown Brothers Harriman, USA.
Thanks to Kevin Colish, Brown Brothers Harriman, USA
Thanks to Richard Harran, IBM MQ Support, ENGLAND.
Change 34.271 New ANALDCO1 provides simple DCOLLECT reporting, using
ANALDCO1 the datasets created by JCLDAYDS. See examples in the
Nov 30, 2016 comments.
Change 34.270 -With PDB=RAWDATA and PDBOUT=WORK, a dataset not found was
VMXGDSN created when summarizing data that had been cleaned up
Nov 30,2016 prior to running the code to read tape data.
-Enhanced to allow you to suppress TAPEDATE by using new
TAPEDATA=null string.
====== Changes thru 34.269 were in this MXG 34.08 dated Nov 25, 2016====
Change 34.269 Support for INCOMPATIBLE TPX PTF R085512 and R085513 that
VMACTPX increased Port Number from 4 to 5 digits.
Nov 23, 2016
Thanks to Johanne Goulet, Government of Quebec, CANADA.
Thanks to Christian Roy, Government of Quebec, CANADA.
Change 34.268 Truncated POEX record with only 54 bytes caused STOPOVER.
VMACPOEX Now, the OFFSET just read is compared with LENGTH and the
Nov 22, 2016 first bad record is reported in the log and all deleted.
Thanks to Scott Wiig, USBank, USA.
Change 34.267 Support for RACF OIMID Token creates TOKOIMIC variable
VMAC80A and support for RACF LTL Token creates TOKMLTL variable
Nov 21, 2016 in TYPE80TK dataset.
Thanks to Mark Tomlinson, Lloydsbanking, ENGLAND.
Change 34.266 WPS Only. %MACRO VMXGPRNT invocation with text on col 72
ANAL113 caused error with WPS 3.00 (03.00.02.00.29316 but was
Nov 20, 2016 parsed correctly with WPS 3.02 (03.00.03.00.016221).
The error had ASIC03 for what should have been BASIC03.
Shortening the line did not eliminate the error.
Change 34.265 ANALDB2R could require //PDB DD because updates to READB2
ANALDB2R for DB2SBP and DB2NET had incorrect tokens that should be
READDB2 WORK. MXG code is now corrected, but circumvent with:
Nov 20, 2016 //PDB DD UNIT=SYSDA,SPACE=(CYL,(500,500),DISP=(,PASS)
on temp DASD, since they were not intended to be kept.
Thanks to John Ordman, Wipro, USA.
Change 34.264 -The section of code creating the prior TREND database was
VMXGALOC incorrect and failed to create the directory on the first
Nov 23, 2016 VMXGALOC execution resulting in an error.
-A FORCEDAY test did not have both side's UPCASEd.
Thanks to Job Varkey, VERISK, USA.
Thanks to Patricia J. Jones, DST, USA.
Change 34.263 SMF 6 CA/Dispatch records were increased to LENGTH=371,
IMACCADI adding two new fields CADIDES2 CADICHAR INCOMPATIBLY due
VMAC6 to MXG tests for LENGTH=347 to detect the V10 vs V11 data
Nov 18, 2016 records; those tests for LENGTH and SMF6LEN are unneeded
now and are removed.
Thanks to Glen Bowman, Wakefern, USA.
Change 34.262 -Support for z/OS 2.1+ PARMDD= EXEC statement JCL
ADOCRMFV parameter, enhanced SYSIN DD support, other improvements
ASMRMFV and fixes.
Nov 19, 2016 -PARMDD= is a new JCL parameter available with z/OS 2.1
and up. PARMDD= specifies a ddname of a file containing
parameters to be passed to the invoked program coded with
PGM=.
-If the ddname does not exist within the JCL step a
JCL error occurs with the message:
IEF689I JOB jobname FAILED PARMDD DID NOT OPEN
-The ddname may reference a physical sequential file,
PDS/PDSE member, or subsystem DD * or DD DATA data set.
-Unlike the 100 character PARM= parameter limit the
PARMDD= file may contain up to 32760 characters after
data assembly. If this limit is exceeded a JCL error
occurs.
-During data assembly of the PARMDD=ddname file trailing
blanks are stripped from each record and entirely blank
records are discarded by z/OS.
-Also during data assembly PARMDD=ddname fixed records are
checked for sequence numbers and also stripped if found.
There is no sequence number checking for variable
records.
-Any data stripped from a PARMDD=ddname file does NOT
count towards the 32760 character limit.
-The PARM= and PARMDD= parameters on the JCL EXEC
statement are mutually exclusive. If both are coded,
a JCL error occurs with message:
IEFC009I KEYWORD PARMDD IS MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE WITH
KEYWORD PARM ON THE EXEC STATEMENT
-The PARMDD= parameter supports any RECFM of F, FB, V, or
VB. RECFM=U and Spanned records are not supported.
-The PARMDD=ddname file may have an LRECL up to 32760 for
fixed length records or 32756 for variable length
records.
-The PARMDD=ddname file may be concatenated with other DDs
in accord with usual concatenation rules.
-These are all valid examples of PARMDD=ddname usage:
//stepname EXEC PGM=ASMRMFV,PARMDD=ddname
//ddname DD DISP=SHR,DSNAME=dsname
//stepname EXEC PGM=ASMRMFV,PARMDD=ddname
//ddname DD DISP=SHR,DSNAME=dsname(member)
//stepname EXEC PGM=ASMRMFV,PARMDD=ddname
//ddname DD *
//stepname EXEC PGM=ASMRMFV,PARMDD=ddname
//ddname DD DATA
-For further details see Section 29 "PARMDD=ddname
Support" in the ASMRMFV source or ADOCRMFV members.
-Similar to PARMDD=ddname usage the ASMRMFV SYSIN DD (or
alternate ddname) now supports RECFM FB, F, VB, or V.
RECFM=U and Spanned records are not supported. Prior to
this change only RECFM=FB or RECFM=F was allowed.
-The ASMRMFV SYSIN DD (or alternate ddname) LRECL may
range up to 32760 for fixed length records or 32756 for
variable length records. Prior to this change only
LRECL=80 was allowed.
-A new built-in alternate ddname for SYSIN named SYSINA
may be provided in JCL and will be used instead of SYSIN
if found. It is not necessary to code the SYSIN=SYSINA
ASMRMFV parameter to use this alternate. However, any
other alternate ddnames require SYSIN= in the PARM= field
or PARMDD=ddname file.
-The order of ddname selection precedence for SYSIN is::
1) The SYSIN=ddname parameter in either the JCL PARM=
field or PARMDD=ddname file if present.
2) The //SYSINA DD in JCL if present.
3) The //SYSIN DD in JCL if present.
-A new built-in alternate ddname for SYSPRINT named
SYSPRINA may be provided in JCL and will be used instead
of SYSPRINT if found. If both SYSPRINA and SYSPRINT are
present SYSPRINT is ignored. There is NO SYSPRINT=ddname
parameter because the ASMRMFV log must be opened well
before any parm processing.
-When processing a PARMDD=ddname or SYSIN (or alternate)
files with data exceeding 100 characters in length, the
data is displayed in the existing RMFV002I message in 100
character sections.
-The first and last RMFV002I sections are always shown,
but any intermediate blank sections are not displayed.
The rightmost column for each section display shows the
number of characters remaining to be shown.
-SYSTSIN and SYSPRINA are added reserved ddnames when
SYSIN=ddname is specified.
-RECFM and LRECL are validated for all SYSIN (or
alternate) data sets.
-After MXG Change 34.226 the SYSIN OPEN subroutine
incorrectly attempts to obtain the DSCB for a //SYSIN DD
DUMMY statement. This results in Abend U0998 Reason Code
0018 and has been corrected.
-MXG Change 34.226 incorrectly altered VSAM TESTCB macro
results test for an VSAM RRDS type data set causing a
VSAM KSDS to be accepted as valid as an RMF III data set.
This caused an I/O error on the first read with Abend
U0998 Reason Code 0029 and has been corrected.
-RMFV008I DATASET LAST OPEN and RMFV009I ORIGIN messages
can be missing from ASMRMFV log for some RMF III data
sets after MXG Change 34.133 and this is also corrected.
-Message RMFV056S is now issued when PATTERR=ABEND instead
of RMFV056E as this is considered a severe error.
-SYSIN=ddname processing now correctly issues message
RMFV004E instead of RMFV056E.
-Incorrect test for '*/' end of imbedded comment string
fixed.
-Expand RMFV005E message to contain first 100 characters
of a bad parameter up from 80 as maximum that will fit
within the 126 character WTO text limit. If the
parameter in error exceeds 100 characters only the first
100 characters are shown.
-Correct SRST search handling for parameter strings
exceeding 256 bytes in length.
-Add short problem description text to RMFV005E message
if displayed parameter length will allow.
-Change '=' character search in keyword parameter
processing in PARMS subroutine to use SRST instruction
for better performance.
-FINAL subroutine setting Return Code 0016 when only
warnings for RED Invalid Processor and SPG Internal

-RMFV018S SYNAD I/O error message loop can result after a
subsystem DD * data set for SYSIN (or an alternate)
specifies an LRECL other than 80 in JCL. z/OS apparently
continues to call the SYNAD routine for the same error
repeatedly with a WRONG LENGTH RECORD indication. The
problem has been circumvented.
-RMFV007S message was not always showing Reason Code of
blanks when the Reason Code is not available for the

Change 34.261 Support for Thales Security Record Version x.y INCOMPAT.
VMACTHAL This update supports records with and without subtypes.
Nov 17, 2016 For mapping by record ID, you must define these macros
with YOUR SMF record Ids, either in your IMACKEEP member
or in a %LET MACKEEP= argument in your //SYSIN:
%LET MACKEEP=
%QUOTE(
MACRO _IDTHALS 195 % /*SMF ID FOR SUMMARY RECORD*/
MACRO _IDTHALN 196 % /*SMF ID FOR SNAPSHOT RECORD*/
MACRO _IDTHALC 199 % /*SMF ID FOR CDS RECORD*/
MACRO _IDTHALE 198 % /*SMF ID FOR EXCEPTION RECORD*/
MACRO _IDTHALV 197 % /*SMF ID FOR SECURITY RECORD*/
MACRO _IDTHALR 194 % /*SMF ID FOR RESPONSE*/
);
To process records with SUBTYPES, you need these macros
either in IMACKEEP or with %LET MACKEEP= in //SYSIN:
%LET MACKEEP=
%QUOTE(
MACRO _IDTHALX 200 % /*SMF RECORD ID FOR NO SUBTYPES*/

VMACRMFV z/OS 1.13 nor z/OS 2.1, but the MXG test for ASIVERG3
Oct 27, 2016 used GE '16'x, causing ASIDP to contain characters. IBM
didn't document that the ASI record version was changed
to '1A'x (discovered only in 2.2 data records). Now,
ASIDP is missing in 1.13 or 2.1 and populated in 2.2.

Change 34.245 MXG 33.08-34.07. SMF 42 dataset TYPE42L1 had misaligned
VMAC42 fields starting with SMF42HUA, causing these variables

Change 34.244 A large number of regions could cause ARRAY EXCEEDED
UTILEXCL errors and/or invalid DCN/DRL test values in IMACEXCL if
Nov 9, 2016 an existing PDB.CICSDICT was appended with dictionary
Dec 14, 2016 records with the same SMF times. The MAX NREC value is
now created from PDB.CICSDICT and used for the new NREC
to separate those identical records.
-The Nov 9 change increased arrays from 1999 to 2999 but
the correction eliminated the need for the increase, and
on site encountered a record too long to sort with the
Host sort on z/OS; using the SAS Sort circumvented but
the arrays were reset to 1999 on Dec 14.
Thanks to Erling Andersen, SMT, DENMARK.
Change 34.243 Support for SMF 117 IBM Integration Bus Version 2 format
VMAC117 record (INCOMPATIBLE) that inserted two 26-byte datetime

IBM Support is being contacted.
Change 34.242 If you specified multiple datasets in the INDATA= and
VMXGSUM one of those datasets was also the OUTDATA= and there
Oct 22, 2016 was no OUTCODE= specified AND YOU had told VMXGSUM to
use CLASSNWAY rather than a BY, VMXGSUM would fail with
an error message that you could not open the output
dataset because it was part of SASDSVX. Now if VMXGSUM
sees that the INDATA is not the same as the OUTDATA but
the OUTDATA is part of the INDATA and the length of
OUTCODE is 0 it turns off CLASSNWAY.

Change 34.239 TYPE70PR data for "OTHER SYSTEM" LPARs could have wrong
VMAC7072 LCPUADDR/SMF70CIN values, which could impact the Dispatch
Oct 20, 2016 (CPU) time and other fields in ASUMCELP/ASUMCEC datasets,
if "THIS SYSTEM" is in SMT MODE, but ONLY if there were
NO type 70 records for this "OTHER SYSTEM". Each RMF 70.
record has the details for THIS SYSTEM (70) and for THIS
LPAR (70PR), but only incomplete data in TYPE70PR for
each of the "OTHER LPARs" on the CEC this LPAR reports.
For ASUMCELP/ASUMCEC/TYPE70PR to be perfect, you must
read SMF 70 records for ALL SYSTEMS, so there will be a
"THIS SYSTEM" obs for every LPAR with complete data, and
if you do your own reporting from PDB.TYPE70PR you then
must select the "THIS SYSTEM" obs in TYPE70PR using:
IF PARTISHN=LPARNUM OR LPARNAME='PHYSICAL';
When you don't have 70s for all LPARS, the PDB.ASUMCELP
dataset has only "OTHER SYSTEM" incomplete data, where
these variables always have missing values:
SMF70LAC SMF70PAT SMF70WTS SMF70WTU SMF70WTI SMF70WLA
and where these variables have incorrect values:
LPARCPUS LPARDUR SMF70ONT LPCTBY LPCTOV SMF70WST
PCTZIPBY ZIPCPUS ZIPUPTM ZIPPATTM ZIPWSTTM.
Variable PARTISHN was not kept in PDB.ASUMCELP, but to
select only the "THIS SYSTEM" from PDB.ASUMCELP, use
IF SMF70PAT GT . OR ZIPPATTM GT .;
-Note that in the ASUMCELP dataset, MXG's NRCPUS should be
the number of CP engines ONLINE AND NOT PARKED, the true
capacity available, in the "THIS SYSTEM" LPAR obs. But in
"OTHER SYSTEM" obs, NRCPUS is the number of ONLINE CPs,
because the Parked time is not in the OTHER SYSTEM data.
(In RMF Partition Reports, IBM only reads THIS SYSTEM
so they have to use the ONLINE count, incorrectly,
to calculate the LPAR CPU utilization.)
-ARRAY statements with braces changed to parenthesis to
avoid character translation issues from ASCII to EBCDIC.

STC11NRR='BYTES*WRITTEN*IP*INTERFACE'
STC11NRW='BYTES*READ*HOST*INTERFACE'
STC11NIR='BYTES*READ*HTD*INTERFACE'
See Change 36.084 which corrected these variables.
Change 34.236 -If you have multiple SYSPLEX values on a single CEC or
VMXG70PR multiple capacity groups then ASUM70LP/ASUMCELP could
Oct 12, 2016 have invalid value unless you read all of the data from
all of the LPARs involved in the CEC. VMXG70PR now will
detect these conditions, WARN you about them and drop
the observations that are bad. There are two distinct
cases involved.
-If the LPAR is not part of the same plex as the system
that wrote the 70PR record then that OBS is dropped since
the weights will reflect the weights from the LPAR that
created the TYPE70PR record.
-If the LPAR is not found in the TYPE70 data you will get
a WARNING that there is missing data and some may be
erroneous for those LPARs that are missing but the OBS
are kept.
Change 34.235 Cosmetic. Variables DSGNAME and DVLSTGRP had '00'x pad
VMACDCOL characters if the name was less than eight bytes that are
Oct 11, 2016 now changed to blanks, and variable DSGCSMSS is labeled.

Change 34.234 MQ Series TYPE116 variable WQUSECNT, USE_COUNT, can be a
VMAC116 negative value (-1) to represent a CLOSE with (+1) OPEN,

Thanks to MP Welch, Bank of America, USA.
Change 34.226 -Support for alternate SYSIN ddname input, user control
ADOCRMFV of VSAM CLOSE=FREE for RMF III data sets, and other
ASMRMFV improvements.
Oct 3, 2016 -A new keyword SYSIN=ddname allows ASMRMFV to input
parameters from a file with a ddname other than SYSIN.
This may be useful if ASMRMFV is executed under another
program such as SAS.
-The ddname must be a valid ddname for use in JCL and must
be present in the execution JCL or an error is flagged.
-SYSIN=ddname may ONLY appear in the JCL PARM= field NOT
in the SYSIN stream itself. Otherwise an error is
flagged.
-The SYSIN=ddname value must NOT be a reserved DDNAME used
by z/OS, JES2/JES3, or other important programs. If such
a ddname is used an error is flagged. For a full list of
these ddnames see documentation Section 5 "Input Data
Control Parameters" by SYSIN=ddname.
-The OPEN of the DCB for SYSIN or an alternate ddname now
validates that DSORG=PS, RECFM=FB or RECFM=F, and
LRECL=80 are attributes for the input file to prevent I/O
errors and other undesirable behavior. If these criteria
are not met ASMRMFV abends during parameter processing.
-VFREE (alias VF) and NOVFREE (alias NOVF) are a pair of
new parameters that control how RMF Monitor III VSAM data
sets are processed when closed.
-VFREE deallocates each RMF III data set thus releasing
the SHR enqueue for each data set as processed before the
entire ASMRMFV step ends while NOVFREE keeps the enqueues
for all RMF III data sets until the complete step end.
-For step program names ASMRMF* or IKJEFT* (*=any valid
program name characters), the default is VFREE. NOVFREE
is the default for other step program names.
-VFREE/NOVFREE has been tested successfully under z/OS 2.2
but may not necessarily have effect in other z/OS
releases.
-A new RMFV037I message displays the status of Input
Control parameters SYSIN=ddname and VFREE/NOVFREE.
-The RMFV035* message did not fully support the
TABERR=WARN option. All table errors were counted as
Severe Errors rather than as Warnings.
-When the only table errors are SPG Internal Problem
errors the final return code will now be 0008 instead of
0016.
-SPG Internal Problem errors occur when a coded Storage
Group name is misspelled or is nonexistent in the RMF III
SGSPACE start up parameter. These are NOT fatal to the
MXG PDB build process. There simply are no observations
in the result ZRBSPG SAS data set in the PDB. The
SGSPACE Storage Group name(s) must be corrected for
ZRBSPG to have observations.
-TIOT ddname search performance is improved.
-There is a new Abend Reason Code 40 for a GETDSAB service
failure.
-Additional descriptive problem text is added for OPEN,
CLOSE, and RDJFCB service failure RMFV007S messages.
-ASMRMFV could Abend S0C4 if a non-VSAM data set was coded
with an RMFV*, RMFC*, or RMFD* DDNAME and then opened as
a VSAM data set. Now this condition will be detected and
an error flagged.
-A new additional RMFV008I message will now display the
PDS member name or GDG relative generation if coded in
JCL for a file.
-The MXG00 record version is raised from X'05' to X'06'
and a new Input Options section is added.
-SYSIN=ddname and VFREE/NOVFREE features are not supported
by ASMRMFV versions prior to MXG Change 34.226. If
specified a parameter error will be flagged.
-Documentation Section 20 is retitled as "FREE=CLOSE for
VSAM Data Sets".
-Following documentation sections are
updated:
Section 5 "Input Data Control Parameters"
Section 8 "Error Handling Parameters"
Section 12 "Messages"
Section 14 "Skipped Records"
Section 16 "Return Codes"
Section 17 "Abend Reason Codes"

in CICSTRAN with its many possible optional variables.
Thanks to Andrew Krink, Northern Territory Government, AUSTRALIA.
Change 34.219 -Variables GDGCOMPL and GDGNOEXT and GDGLIMIT kept.

Sep 24, 2016 are input and kept for investigation.
Thanks to Scott Barry, SBBWorks Inc., USA.
Change 34.218 Arrays were incorrectly being initialized causing the
ASUM4HRS 4HR Averages to not be calculated and the resultant value

the average value. Note that if you request 4 Hours then
there will be no average calculated until the 5th Hour.
You may have to read TWO day's SMF to populate the 4 Hour
Average for all hours of today.

variables and PROC FREQs to provide counts of who/why and
then ANALDB2T reports on the top resource consumers.

R749FPGBYTS. And R749FPGBYTR Average Request is now KB.
-Variable R749FPGBPRT is now equated to R7491BPC for the
Buffer Pool utilization.
Thanks to Giuseppe Giacomodonato, EPVTECH, ITALY.
Change 34.207 VMXGRMFI summarization with large INTERVAL= DATE or SHIFT
VMXGRMFI or even TWOHOUR could produce incorrect results with no
Sep 14, 2016 error messages. The value of SHIFT could be incorrect,
which could cause the date to be one day wrong. Only
user-created invocation of VMXGRMFI are exposed; none of
the MXG-supplied VMXGRMFI members have large intervals.
-The exposure is when the requested INTERVAL spanned a
shift boundary or did not align perfectly with the shift
times; to get FOURHOUR FOURHOUR summary you must have
SHIFT boundaries of at 0/4/8/12/16/20.
-Using INTERVAL=SHIFT produced wrong results if your
interval spans a shift boundary, but it is likely that
what you really wanted was by DATE and SHIFT, so VMXGRMFI
has new INTERVAL=DATESHIFT/WEEKSHIFT/MONTHSHIFT/
MONTHSHIFT/QUARTERSHIFT/SEMIANNSHIFT/ANNUALSHIFT. These
new options set the INTERVAL=DATE/WEEK/etc., and add
variable SHIFT to the end of the SUMBY list. In
addition, new &RMFIBY macro variable with default
RMFIBY=SYSPLEX SYSTEM SYSNAME STARTIME
is created to allow more extensive tailoring if needed.
If you use this interval structure (xxxxSHIFT) you must
also use the same RMFIBY to put the resulting data
through TRENDing to preserver the SHIFT value.
-SHIFT added to the RMFWKLRV dataset.
-SHIFT is blank for INTERVAL= that span shifts (DATE, etc)
since there is no value possible with multiple shifts.
-Two PROC SORTs were replaced by MEANS with CLASS..
-If Reporting Classes are used for Workload Definitions,
the WKLDDESC='REPORTING CLASS' value is set for that
variable because they don't have WLM WORKLOAD values.
-Messages that SRVCLASS='SYSOTHER' was found in TYPE72GO
input are now always printed; this is NOT due to MXG but
is a fall-thru service class used by IBM when your WLM
rules failed to classify work, and should never exist.
Thanks to Andre Gustavo Moretto, IBM Global at Delta, USA.
Change 34.206 -Support for Top Secret R15. Changed was RACFVRSN='F0'x.
VMAC80A Without change, dataset TYPE80TS had zero observations.

Oct 5, 2016 Oct 5.
Nov 5, 2016 -Format $MG080TS created to map Resource Code to Class by
FORMATS reading the RDT.TXT table. A program to re-create that
format is in comments at the end of this VMAC80A.

======= Changes thru 34.198 were in MXG 34.06 dated Aug 18, 2016========
Change 34.198 -Enhancement for Relative Time filtering for FROMTIME=
ADOCRMFV and TOTIME= parameters using the current Time of Day
ASMRMFV (TOD) timestamp.
Aug 18, 2016 -The TOD value as shown in the ASMRMFV RMFV001I log
Aug 20, 2016 message and obtained as execution begins is the basis for
Relative Time calculations.
-Relative Times are specified as either hour or minute
offsets from the current TOD. The default is hours if
the unit is not explicitly coded.
-Improved handling of midnight crossover condition when
Relative Time offset exceeds current TOD Time.
-All of the following formats are supported for FROMTIME=
Relative Times:
FROMTIME=*- FROMTIME=- FROMTIME=*-
FROMTIME=*-0 FROMTIME=-0
FROMTIME=*-00 FROMTIME=-00
FROMTIME=*-0H FROMTIME=-0H
FROMTIME=*-00H FROMTIME=-00H
FROMTIME=*-0M FROMTIME=-0M
FROMTIME=*-00M FROMTIME=-00M
FROMTIME=*-000M FROMTIME=-000M
FROMTIME=*-0000M FROMTIME=-0000M
h is hours (0-9) hh is hours (00-24)
m is minutes (0-9) mm is minutes (00-99)
mmm is minutes (000-999) mmmm is minutes (0000-1440)
-The maximum hour offset supported is 24 hours.
The maximum minute offset supported is 1440 minutes.
-'H' suffix is optional for hour offsets.
'M' suffix is required for minute offsets.
-The default offset is 0 hours for these formats:
FROMTIME=* FROMTIME=*- FROMTIME=-
-The following forms for FROMTIME= all result in the
current TOD being used as a data selection start
time:
FROMTIME=*- FROMTIME=- FROMTIME=*-
FROMTIME=*-0 FROMTIME=-0
FROMTIME=*-00 FROMTIME=-00
FROMTIME=*-0H FROMTIME=-0H
FROMTIME=*-00H FROMTIME=-00H
FROMTIME=*-0M FROMTIME=-0M
FROMTIME=*-00M FROMTIME=-00M
FROMTIME=*-000M FROMTIME=-000M
FROMTIME=*-0000M FROMTIME=-0000M
-These forms are of no practical use when FROMDATE=*
(current date) is also coded because the selection start
time will result in little if any data being actually
out
