STATS: Requesting CLOSE Statistics

Default: NOSTATS

The STATS constraint requests CA Hyper-Buf to display file statistics at CLOSE time. STATS can be specified at any level. The statistics are displayed only for CLOSEs that match a level selector which specifies STATS. The statistics are displayed on the job log.

The STATS constraint requires no operands. You can specify STATS independently of MSGLEVEL. You can specify STATS to be displayed whether CA Hyper-Buf modifies the buffers for an OPEN.

You can use STATS to 'benchmark' CA Hyper-Buf performance. For example, you can run two identical job streams with two different job names. One of the jobnames should be buffered by CA Hyper-Buf; the other job name should be EXCLUDED. STATS should be specified for both jobs, or as the SYSTEM_DEFAULT. By running these 'parallel' jobs, you can see the difference in EXCP caused by CA Hyper-Buf by comparing the job logs after they complete execution.
