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

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

====== CHANGES THRU 38.234 ARE IN MXG 38.38 DATED Jan 4, 2021 ========
Change 38.234 zVPS/XAM datasets XAMIFLBY & XAMIFLTO now have zero obs.
VMACXAM Dataset XAMCPUTO contains the CPID=TOTAL/GPs/IFLs types
Dec 29, 2020 (TOTAL is all engines, GPS GP engines IFLS IFL engines)
for each interval. (Previously only had TOTAL and GPS).
The individual CPnn engine values are in XAMCPUBY and the
PFXCPUTY variable identifies if the engine is GP or IFL.
-HEX format added for CALMNEST RCCTOPDS DSVASSOC DSVUNPRK
-CPID is UPCASED so GPs or IFLs values will be GPS/IFLS.
Thanks to Douglas C. Walter, CITIGROUP, USA.
Change 38.233 Six variables added to TRNDRMFI:
VMXGRMFI MAXZIPBY - maximum PCTZIPBY
Dec 23, 2020 MAXZIPTM - maximum ZIP time
MAXZIETM - maximum ZIP eligible time
MAXCPUTM - maximum CPU time
CPCFNAME - processor type
LPARSHAR - initial LPAR share
to prevent UNINIT messages and missing values using
GRAFWRKX with PDB=TREND.
Change 38.232 ANAL119 report TNRPTS has TTTELUNA/APIREMOT UNINITIALIZED
ANAL119 if there is no //IPHOSTS file. Logic to read IPHOSTS was
Dec 21, 2020 revised to skip incomplete entries.
====== CHANGES THRU 38.231 WERE IN EARLY ADOPTER 38.38 Dec 23, 2020 ====
Change 38.231 GOUT is suppressed when running WPS since WPS does not
GRAFCEC support graphic catalogs. These members also did not
GRAFWRKX recognize PDB=TREND and printed blank pages when the
Dec 18, 2020 response variable was missing values in all OBS. Both
issues were corrected.
Change 38.230 -The UTILWORK report helps you set up RMFINTRV WORKLOADS.
UTILWORK If the sum of CPUTM from service classes is greater than
Dec 31, 2020 the sum for report classes that means not all workloads
have a report class defined and you may not use report
classes to define workloads. Now USERPRT is set to NO to
force using service class.
-If you have an environment with multiple plexes then the
WLM policies may be different. UTILWORK now adds SYSTEM
and SYSPLEX to the skeleton RMFINTRV member. These can be
removed in your editing of the member if they are not
needed in your environment.
Change 38.229 Four variables added to TRNDRMFI:
VMXGRMFI MAXZIPBY - maximum PCTZIPBY
Dec 18, 2020 MAXZIPTM - maximum ZIP time
MAXZIETM - maximum ZIP eligible time
MAXCPUTM - maximum CPU time
Change 38.228 Support for TMON/CICS changes to 4.1, INCOMPATIBLE
IMACTMO2 No ERROR Messages, but INVALID Values because fields were
VMACTMO2 increased from 4 to 8 bytes.
Dec 16, 2020 -MONIARQ dataset, TAARQRCN was increased to 8 bytes,
misaligning TAARQRTM,TAARQRCN,TAARQWTM TAARQTXT,TAARQICT
which were also increased to 8 bytes.
-MONISYS dataset. TIHDASSZ and TITERILG byte counts have
some negative values; they were 1E19 when INPUT as PIB8.
-MONITASK dataset PRIINCHR byte counts can be negative.
Variable FILEIOCN was increased to 8 bytes causing
FCDELCN,FCGETCN,FCBROCN,FCADDCN and FCUPDCN to be wrong
and those fields were also increased to 8 bytes.
-MONIEXT dataset. All EBCDIC64 variables translate '00'x
to a blank.
-MONIDBDS dataset, for DB2 the VOLSER starts with two null
bytes and only the last four bytes are populated.
-MONIAWT dataset. TAAWTTCN was increased to 8 bytes
misaligning TAAWTTTM TAAWTFLG TAAWTWRC TAAWTWRT variables
that were also increased to 8 bytes.
-MEMBER IMACTMO2 example enables TMON exit in SYSIN; using
the EXITMON6/TMON Infile Exit saves significant CPU time.

Change 38.227 SMF 119 Subtype 3 FCBYTES with z/OS 2.1 is wrong; there
VMAC119 are two inputs, the original PIB8 64-bit binary field and
Dec 16, 2020 the RB8 float field added to support larger values. Data
records with valid binary (9.2 million) and invalid float
(1.16225) values are created, and that float value is the
one that is output. This change inputs float as FCBYTES2

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

Change 38.187 -If you suppressed CICSSTAT that also unintentionally
UTILBLDP suppressed ASUMUOW and ASUMCICX. Now if you want to
Oct 27, 2020 suppress ASUMUOW ASUMDBAA or ASUMDBSS you can add them to
the SUPPRESS= parameter by name. In the case of ASUMUOW
this also suppresses ASUMCICX but if you did not suppress
CICSTRAN then ASUMCICS is substituted. These four members
CICSSTAT ASUMUOW ASUMDBAA and ASUMDBSS are all resource
intensive, and if you don't use them you can save those
resources by suppressing them.
-If you suppressed ID and used BUILDPDB=JES3 you got an
error message that the type of VIEW could not be
determined. There were many other spots which looked only
for YES or NO that were fixed. The value of BUILDPDB is
now validated and if it is not blank, NO, YES, or JES3
UTILBLDP will end with error messages.
Change 38.186 MXG estimate of DOWNTM prior to an IPL used the PREVTIME
VMAC0 of the last record, but what was needed was the PREVTIME
VMAC90A of the ID=0 record, and the IPLTIME of the ID=0 is now
Oct 26, 2020 retained in TMP0TIME and used for the IPLTIME in the
DOWNTM calculation in the ID=90 ST=10 IPL SRM record.
-Processing ID=0 record, the GMTOFF was off by one second.
-Variable SMF90STE was INPUT, but see Change 38.220 ABEND.
Thanks to Tore Hansson, IBM Services, NORWAY.
Change 38.185 MXG 38.03 Change 38.051 set MXGABND=1 for missing SMFTIME
VMACSMF value when using the SAS FTP Access Method, because we
VMXGINIT have seen that associated with an FTP "hang" until it was
Oct 21, 2020 cancelled, and by forcing an ABEND you can avoid the hang
and if you've pointed the LOG option to a file, you can
see if there were other error conditions. But MXGABND is
is macro variable used in many members so you can choose
an ABEND instead of ERROR messages (like TYPE110, where
some sites want an ABEND alert when EXCLUDED FIELDS are
detected). In this case, the CPUTM GT ELAPSED condition
in TYPE110 tested MXGABND GT 0 and cause an unwanted
ABEND. Now, macro variable SMFMISS is created and can be
used to cause the abend when SMFTIME is missing using the
FTP access method, using %LET SMFMISS=NNN; in your SYSIN
to cause ABORT ABEND NNN instead of the ERROR and a hang.
Thanks to Harald Seifert, HUK-COBURG, GERMANY.
Change 38.184 MXG 38.08. ERROR: File WORK.PDBTYPE70.DATA does not exist
VMXG70PR if you tailor and invoke %VMXG70PR with no PDB= argument.
Oct 19, 2020 We recommend you always use %INCLUDE SOURCLIB(ASUM70PR);
instead of putting a tailored VMXG70PR in USERID because
IBM changes may require incompatible changes in VMXG70PR,
but we can protect ASUM70PR from the need for change.
In general, if there is an ASUMxxxx that invokes VMXGxxxx
its always safer to use the ASUMxxxx member.

OUTCODE= a stub of code just after PCTAVAIL is
calculated
SCHEDULED= stub of code allowing you to specify
scheduled outages for each app.
see doc and examples in member.
Update in MXG 38.09 dated Nov 4, 2020:
If you were not very careful building schedules and
outages, duplicate obs could skew percentages. SORTS with
NDDUP added to eliminate duplicate obs. Also outages were
not carried into month totals resulting in availability GT
100%.
An Example of invoking %ANALAVAI:
When building schedules it is critical that you always
output either outages or scheduled for each app with a
schedule.

Change 38.182 -If you specified BUILDPDB=NO with SUPPRESS=x you got an
UTILBLDP invalid compare on several FLAGxx macro variables used to
Oct 21, 2020 keep track of suppressed items for BUILDPDB. SUPPRESS= is
ignored when BUILDPDB is set to NO as the only records
read are those in USERADD=. Comments updated for MXGINCL.
-If you specified OUTFILE=XYZ and XYZ did not exist you
got an unresolved macro reference. On zOS you must have
a DD or a filename statement for the OUTFILE= parameter
unless you use the recommended INSTREAM.
-Comments added to handle products with multiple SMF IDs.

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

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

to prevent errors if merging old and new ZRBSCM.
-Variables CFISCMAX,CFISCFAU,CFISCIAU,CFISIUS were not

Change 38.142 -When creating PDB.ASUMCELP and PDB.ASUMCEC datasets with
ASUM70PR CECINTRV=HOUR, from PDB.TYPE70/PDB.TYPE70PR with QTRHOUR
ASUM70WK intervals, the ASUMCELP/ASUMCEC has 23 valid hourly obs,
VMXG70PR with two additional obs, one from the last interval of
Aug 25, 2020 yesterdaq with (DURATM 15 min) and one from the last hour
of today (DURATM 45 min). To report only full hours, you
can select obs with IF DURATM GT 3400; in your reports.
-This new ASUM70WK program reads your WEEK.TYPE70/70PR to
create two weekly hourly WEEK.ASUMCEHR and WEEK.ASUMLPHR
(like CEC/CELP) with all intervals one hour. The two
partial intervals are not output, but they are from the
SMFDUMP time on the weekends and presumably unimportant.
-Enhancements were needed in VMXG70PR.
-The PDB= argument for the libname of input datasets was
incorrectly ignored, and the &PTY70 and &PTY7072 tokens
were used. Now it will be used, but VMXG70PR checks for
the existence of TYPE70 & TYPE70PR if PDB= is nonblank,
and terminates if either has zero obs or isn't there.
-New PDBOUT= argument names the output LIBNAME for the
two new datasets, if argument is non-blank.
-OUTCODE70PR= Your SAS code that will let you control
what observations are output to ASUM70PR.
-OUTCODE70LP= Your SAS code that will let you control

the two OUTCODEs use IF DURATM GT 3400; to only create
full hourly data for the week.
%VMXG70PR (PDB=WEEK,INTERVAL=QTRHOUR,CECINTRV=HOUR,

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

VMXG70PR was required with MICS, and while MXG summarization can
Jul 30, 2020 take it into account, there is intrinsic inaccuracy as

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:

Change 38.128 -ASMRMFV Field Data Filter (FDF) support for the RMF III
ADOCRMFV XCF Activity Data Table (XCFG3) and an IMPORTANT FDF FIX.
ASMRMFV -The Field Data Filter (FDF) feature of RMF III was added
Jul 30, 2020 in MXG Change 37.089 and allows you to filter raw RMF
reducing the size of the created RMFBSAM file. You can
filter table entries based on one or more numeric and/or
character fields, and is intended for advanced MXG users
building ad hoc data collection of RMF III data.
-ASMRMFV FDF can fail to correctly translate X'00'
characters to X'40' blank characters for RMF III field
names in FDF expressions that can contain nulls. This can
cause filter comparisons to be FALSE instead of TRUE.
-The example JCLRMFV/JCLCRMFV/JCLDRMFV members have been
integrated into Sections 48, 49, 50 in ADOCRMFV, with new
FDF examples; the old members are pointers to ADOCRMFV.
- J is now an alias for SCM table selection.
- -J is now an alias for SCM table exclusion.

51 Summary
-TUTORIAL:
This level of ASMRMFV introduces the concept of
Independent Data Sections when using FDF.
An Independent Section is an ASMRMFV term for a RMF III
data section containing data unrelated to other sections
in the same RMF Monitor III table. Examples of this are
the Group Data, Path Data, and System Data Sections of
the XCFG3 table.
ASMRMFV does not support logical FDF ANDing of filters
from two different Independent Sections because the data
is not logically related.
ASMRMFV FDF processes each Independent Section
separately. If ANDIF= expressions for 2 fields in two
different Independent Sections occur FDF will bypass any
IF expressions for fields not contained in the section
being currently processed.
Data dictionary sections in ADOCRMFV for tables now
identify the Section when Independent Sections are
applicable an RMF III table.
Change 38.127 Using ANAL119 with PDB=SMF without a PDBOUT=, 0 OBS were

Change 38.126 When SMF Logger outputs sysplex data for multiple systems
VMAC7072 records are interleaved, so it is no longer possible to
VMXGINIT retain TYPE70 variables like CECSER/CPCMODEL from the 70
Jul 29, 2020 into the TYPE72GO dataset, where they are frequently
missing values. This change revises the _STY72GO dataset
sort macro to sort and merge the two datasets to populate
CECSER and CPCMODEL whenever possible (if a 70 ends an
SMF dataset, the subsequent 72 read tomorrow won't have a
matching 70 even with the new sorting logic).
-All of the 7072 processing programs that sort and create
PDB datasets, like BUILDPDB/BLDSMPDB/UTILBLDP/TYPS7072
already invoke the _STY72GO macro so this change will be
transparent. However, if you use only TYPE7072 to write
only to //WORK, you will need to use this syntax to sort
and create the correctly populated TYPE72GO dataset:
%INCLUDE SOURCLIB(TYPE7072);
%LET PTY70=WORK;
%LET PTY72GO=WORK;
_STY72GO;
RUN;
-And new macro variable &SSTY72GO is added in _STY72GO so
you can insert code to create new variables from the
CECSER/CPCMODEL variables into your TYPE72GO dataset.
Thanks to Kurt Gramling, T-SYS, USA.
Change 38.125 Change 38.117 test for QLSTVRSN='000001' was changed to

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

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

Change 38.099 Sorts of CICS stats sometimes calculated negative DURATM
VMAC110 values for CICS statistics datasets. We also found that
SCICSORT some no longer needed to be deaccumulated. The sort order
UTILBLDP was changed to correct the DURATMs and the DIF logic was
VMXGCICI removed. In addition, only the records which contained
Jul 3, 2020 activity are now output. VMXGCICI was revised to remove
sorts and DIFs that were being done and many steps were
eliminated since it is now a single VMXGSUM execution.
-The CICLDR dataset was missing obs and incorrectly
and accidentally had a number of LDGxxxxx variables
that are now removed. Note that the new logic will
only output observations that had activity. For LDR,
there were 1,098,909 WORK.CICLDR observations but
only 2982 obs were in PDB.CICLDR that actually had
any activity.
-CICFCR dataset now only contains obs with activity,
with 15195 WORK.CICFCR and only 214 PDB.CICFCR.
-Protection for new MNSEGCL=5 5th and 6th triplets for
URIMAP and WEBSVC prevents a STOPOVER, but the two new
datasets were not created until Change 38.114.
Change 38.098 BMC SMF 74 CMF records variable R744STRC was zero, now
VMAC74 corrected by PTF BQM1658 for 6.1, BQM1659 for 6.2.

Change 38.095 Variable CMFPROD is now created for all SMF 70-79 records
VMACSMF and will be RMF or CMF-CPM or CMF-IPM and must be used
Jun 17, 2020 TO SELECT CMF or RMF if BOTH ARE WRITING SMF 70-79 data.
MXG can NOT correctly process that duplicated data in
one job. You would use this logic in //SYSIN:

-ERROR: A lock is not available for WORK.OPTVAR.DATA.
This is extremely random and can occur anywhere in the

of software as noted in SAS NOTE 36803. SAS suggested
that the following types of datasets be excluded from
monitoring. Disabling Carbon Black resolved the error.

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

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

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

ANAL119 37.37 version (extraneous 3 preceding a RUN.) IPHOSTS DD
May 16, 2020 is no longer required but will be used if it is present
and all data steps are skipped if the input datasets are
not found.
Thanks to Tom Kelman, ATOS, USA.
Change 38.072 Type 30 Subtype 6 records have accumulated values but not
VMAC30 all INST counts were deaccumulated, CPUASRTM correction
May 15, 2020 was subtracted from raw rather than DIF'd values causing
a spurious warning message, and minimum SMF time .01 sec
was only a few hundred CPUUNITS which caused some small
negative values when CPUASRTM was non-zero.
The subtype 6 interval records are written instead of 2/3
for Early ASIDs, STCs that start before JES is up, like
ALLOCAS CAMASTER CONSOLE GRS JES2AUX PCAUTH RASP

====== CHANGES THRU 38.071 WERE IN MXG 38.03 DATED MAY 7, 2020 ========
Change 38.071 SAGANAL option SYNC59 was incorrectly flooring ENDTIME,
SAGANAL but now uses VMXGDUR to set the Interval Started. SYNC59
May 6, 2020 adds 1 minute and uses that hour, so with 15 min interval
data written at SYNC59, these are the hour intervals into
which the 15 min interval data is assigned.
Original 15:59 16:14 16:29 16:44 16:59 17:14
SYNC 0 hour 15 16 16 16 16 17
SYNC 59 hour 16 16 16 16 17 17
Using SYNC59 for SYNC59 data matches common sense.
Change 38.070 CICS Statistics 110-2 with SMFSTRQT='EOD' End of Day data
VMAC110 have invalid large values, with the same value repeated
May 2, 2020 for dozens of unique events in time sequence that would
normally be accumulated values with zero deltas when they
are deaccumulated, BUT EOD are NOT accumulated data. Each
obs is a separate event, and most values are wrong. In
addition, when EOD obs go thru MXG deaccum, obs are lost.
Intervals of 24 hours are not very useful for analysis.
EOD was accidentally set, and you can sum INT data to get
daily totals if that's what you need.
So, I can not make a business case that the EOD interval;
is needed, and with a circumvention, I'm not going to
pursue a PMR that would waste IBM and Customer time.
-When EOD records go thru Deacculation, many observations
are lost; I experimented with CICXML to bypass deaccum
for EOD, which did preserve observations, but I'm not.
going to implement that for other statistics datasets.
DO NOT USE EOD FOR SMFSTRQT STATISTICS REQUEST TYPE.
Change 38.069 XCOM input did not skip the 461 bytes added in 12.0.

Thanks to Peter J. Gray, DXC, AUSTRALIA.
Change 38.068 Support for Comm Server SMF 119 Subtype 11 ZERT revised
EXT119ZE to create new TYP119ZE dataset for each Zert instance,
IMAC119 which can have more than one obs per record, and remove
VMAC119 those variables from TYP11911 which has only one obs per
VMXGINIT SMF 119 subtype 11 record.
Apr 30, 2020 Updates to 73/74 for ICN1762 for IKET are not done, may
need data.
Change 38.067 Yet another TYPE42 invalid LENSR in Subtype 5 records has
VMAC42 revised the logic to compare the delta between offsets
Apr 30, 2020 with NRSR*LENSR, and if they do not, recalculate length
by dividing the delta by the NRSR, and if the CALCSRLEN
is an integer, use the new length for LENSR, or delete.
This was from old customer data and may not be a current
value, but this should finally eliminate exposures.
Thanks to John Compton, World Programming, ENGLAND
Change 38.066 Dataset ASUMCAPT was not labeled.

Apr 24, 2020
Thanks to Randy Hewitt, DXC, USA.
Change 38.065 UTILROLL will rollup all observations in all datasets in
UTILROLL a data library into all datasets in another data library.
Apr 29, 2020 New examples added to combine PDBs created every four
hours into a daily PDB library, and to copy multiple days
back to WORK for reporting. Modified to use PROC SQL to
get the engine of the output libname on z/OS so it works
for tape or sequential PDBs. Also added FORCE to the
PROC APPEND to prevent warnings and added SORTEDBY and
ALLDATA datasets created by the macro to ROLLDROP.
Change 38.064 -After New Function APAR OA58759 of 3/26/2020 for RMF the
ASMRMFV ERB3RDEC decompression load module does not contain an
Apr 24, 2020 expected FMID. As a result ASMRMFV issues warning message
RMFV091W that the module is not from IBM. Processing
continues normally, but Return Code 0004 is set.
-ASMRMFV will now also check for an 'IBM' character string
in ERB3RDEC before issuing RMFV091W. The RMFV091W message
was also incorrectly formatted.
Change 38.063 Variables WKRSENCP/WKRSENCV/WKRIENCP/WKRIENCV caused
VMACCMFV INVALID DATA messages because they were INPUT as &RB.4.
Apr 24, 2020 (which worked fine when the fields were zeros) but they
are non-zero and are input with &PIB.4 informat.
Thanks to John Kim, TELUS, CANADA.
Change 38.062 -DB2STAT0 variable QW0225_WARN was incorrectly treated as
VMACDB2 bytes, and it is SERVICEABILITY.
Apr 22, 2020 -Support for APAR PI92652 that adds I/O Interrupt CPU time
variables QWSxIIPT variables in dataset DB2STAT4.
-Support for APAR PI82191 that adds 3 _DPAGE variables to
dataset DB2STAT4, which per the APAR text, are now also
subtracted to correct the three _REAL variables. The
APAR text listed a fourth PVTSTG_DPAGE field, but it
does NOT exist in the records with segment length 320.
Thanks to Scott Barry, SBBTechLLC, USA.
Change 38.061 Support for z/OS Connect EE SMF 123 Version 2 Subtype 1
EXTY1232 records create new TYPE1232 dataset:

Apr 30, 2020 TY123C TYPE123C z/OS CONNECT EE API REQUEST 2
Jul 15, 2020 The subtype 1 new version 2 record created new TYPE1232
Feb 2, 2024 to replace TYPE123A because of many new variables.
-Member TYPE123A creates TYPE123A and TYPE1232 for EE
from subtype 1 and added TYPE123C from subtype 2
in Change 39.043 in 2021.
-Member TYPE123 is archaic, for the S/390 Parallel Query
Server SPQS SMF 123 Record datasets DB2SPQS/DB2SPQAB.
-Jul 15 typo spelling SM123SORRCVD corrected.
-Feb 2: no code change, this text was clarified.

Thanks to Robert Richards, PNC, USA.
Change 38.060 CICSTRAN observations are written at task termination,
VMAC110 so long running transactions won't have observations,
Apr 9, 2020 but the CICS SET MONITOR command FREQUENCY argument will
create interval CICSTRAN observations, which can be
identified with RTYPE='F'. RTYPE formatted values:
'C'='C:TERMINAL CONVERSE'
'D'='D:USER EMP DELIVER REQUEST'

Thanks to Rob Hollingum, HSBC, ENGLAND
Thanks to Renata Hoyland, HSBC, ENGLAND
Change 38.059 -zVPS XAMCUV records with LPARNAME='TOTAL' weren't output
EXXAMCUV because they duplicate the detail record's values. zVPS
FORMATS now sets LCUCPUID=96 for all total records, so the test
VMACXAM to NOT output in EXXAMCUV now tests to skip the 96's.
Apr 8, 2020 This test is located in the Data Set Exit member so that
you can always override my decision to not OUTPUT them.
-Variables LCUCPUID LCXCPTYP are added to the _BXAMCUV BY
list for dataset XAMCUV.
-XAMCUV records have LCXCPTYP=1 for CP/GP engine instead
of zero, so the MGXAMTY format now maps that value also.
Thanks to John Holiday, Queensland Government, AUSTRALIA.
Change 38.058 CIMS/IMF datasets CIMSDBD,CIMSDB2,CIMSMQ had zero obs
VMXGINIT in 37.37-38.02 because the three SELECTDBD/DB2/SELECTMQ
Apr 21, 2020 macro variables added for BUILDIMS were only %GLOBALed
in VMXGINIT where they should have been %LET to defaults.
The three statements have been added to VMXGINIT, but you
can insert these three statements in your //SYSIN for
your CIMS/IMF processing jobs and they will be populated.
%LET SELECTDBD=%STR(OUTPUT _WIMFDBD;) ;
%LET SELECTDB2=%STR(OUTPUT _WIMFDB2;) ;
%LET SELECTMQ =%STR(OUTPUT _WIMFMQ;) ;
Thanks to Andreas Menne, Finanz Informatik, GERMANY.
Change 38.057 Support for SYSVIEW Subtype 2 record creates new datasets
IMACSVIE PDB.SV02INT - Interval Data - One Obs per Minute.
VMACSVIE Merge of 263 datasets, 1440 Obs daily.
VMXGINIT PDB.SV02MQ - MQ Interval Data - One obs per MQ Subsys

Change 38.056 -If you tried to reset an option with VMXGOPTR to ORIGINAL
ANALHSM that hadn't previously been set using VMXGOPTR, the code
VMXGOPTR generated here was "OPTIONS 1;" which caused ERROR 13-12:
Apr 6, 2020 Unrecognized SAS option name 1, and execution terminated.
-Now: VMXGOPTR detects that that option had not been set,
stores the current value and does not execute OPTIONS.
-ANALHSM was the culprit that exposed the error and was
corrected.
Thanks to Jack Hyde, OPTUM, USA.
Change 38.055 Change 37.123 (MXG 37.04) incorrectly changed variable
VMAC7072 PCTMVSBY which impacted PLCPRDYQ and SHORTCPS in datasets

Change 38.054 -ALL ASCII SITES SHOULD ENABLE %AUTOINST IN IMACINIT.
AUTOINST -Concurrent ASCII SAS sessions can error due to INSTREAM
IMACINIT file sharing. The same INSTREAM.SAS file is used on ASCII
May 3, 2020 for every session, so multiple concurrent sessions error
because of the unintended file sharing. The new &AUTOINST
%MACRO creates the temporary INSTREAM file in the session
WORK libname, which is not sharable with other sessions.
FILENAME INSTREAM CATALOG 'WORK.TEMP.INSTREAM.SOURCE';
a. Put the %AUTOINST; statement in the member IMACINIT
in your "USERID.SOURCLIB" tailoring library and the
unique file name will always be allocated.
b. Put the %AUTOINST; in AUTOEXEC, replacing the
INFILE INSTREAM statement.
c. Issue the %AUTOINST; in your SYSIN at start.
-ALL ASCII SITES SHOULD PUT %AUTOINST IN IMACINIT.
-z/OS sites can enable %AUTOINST in IMACINIT and then the
INSTREAM filename will always be created if it was not
already allocated.

Change 38.051 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 Banking, 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

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'

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.

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

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 38.017 -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 Andreas Menne, Finanz Informatik, GERMANY.
CHANGE 38.012 The MXG member DOCVER documents all variables in all MXG
DOCVLONG datasets, originally one line per variable, but the long
Jan 25, 2020 variable names and MXG's 72-character z/OS limit caused
two lines to be needed. The DOCVLONG program creates the
"DOCVLONG.TXT" file with one line per variable with new
LRECL=94 to contain all the information. This change
corrected an ERROR if the variable name ended in NUM and
was 13 characters long.
ON Z/OS:
// EXEC MXGSASV9
//INDOCVER DD DSN='MXG.SOURCLIB(DOCVER),DISP=SHR
//DOCVLONG DD DSN='MXG.DOCVLONG,TXT,DISP=(,CATLG),
// DD RECFM=FB LRECL=94 BLKSIZE=34500.
// DD SPACE=(CYL,(40,4))
//SYSIN DD *
%INCLUDE SOURCLIB(DOCVLONG);
ON ASCII:
FILENAME INDOCVER 'D:\MXG\SOURCLIB\DOCVER.SAS';
FILENAME DOCVLONG 'D:\MXG\USERID\DOCVLONG.TXT';
%INCLUDE SOURCLIB(DOCVLONG);
CHANGE 38.011 Support for APAR OA57718 that adds new zHyperlink write
VMAC42 statistics to TYPE42DS dataset.

Change 38.010 If you changed the default SMFAUDIT=YES option to NO,
ANALID to suppress the SMF Audit Report (BUILDPDB,ANALID),
Jan 24, 2020 inside ANALID, the VMXGOPTR utility could fail
MXGNOTE: END OF ANALID
NOTE: Line generated by the macro variable "OPTORG4".
Change 37.245's setting options with VMXGOPTR in ANALID
were mis-located inside SMFAUDIT=YES block in MXG 37.08,
now relocated in MXG 38.01.
Thanks to John Milne, IBM, AUSTRALIA
Change 38.009 If you specified GRAPHS=YES and your system is old and
ANALSIIS not have the option SYSODSGRAPHICS or you are on z/OS
READRATE where it is 0 until an ODS GRAPHICS command is issued,
Jan 24, 2020 the code defaulted to using PROC PLOT where XAXIS is not
supported. ANALSIIS and READRATE were both modified to
use the version executing to choose SGPLOT vs PLOT, and
XAXIS was removed from the PROC PLOT.
Thanks to Mike Martin, North Carolina NCSECU, USA.
CHANGE 38.008 Change 37.149 was in error if first USERADD= was IDMS.

Change 38.007 The BY LIST for PROC MEANS DATA=_LVMAINT inside INTVBLD
VMACVMXA is changed to BY CECSER SYSTEM, removing BEGINMTR, which
Jan 21, 2020 caused tens of thousands of useless statistics.
Thanks to Scott Barry, SBBTechLLC, USA.

Change 38.005 "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.

VMACIDMS TASCUOWI='CICS*UOW*ID'
Jan 24, 2020 TASCUOWS='CICS*UOW*SEQ'
TASCNETN='CICS*NETWORK*UOW*ID'
-Variables TASUFLD1-TASUFLD3 are now correctly input for
CICS records (IDM6623 corrected IDM6618).
Thanks to Scott Barry, SBBTechLLC, USA.
Thanks to Paola Rosero, Centre de services partages du Quebec, CANADA
Change 38.002 Variable BYTEPRC='PCT OF*BYTES*WRITTEN' is added to both
VMACTMS5 TMS.TMS and variable BESKEY='TAPE*ENCRYPTION*KEY*INDEX
Feb 7, 2020 is added to TMS.DSNBRECD.

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.
