7.3.2.1 RESP and INTERVAL Statements

RESP STATEMENT
--------------

The RESP statement allows the system administrator to specify
the response-time limits (L1 to L7) used to define the seven
response-time categories.  The CA MICS Analyzer for CA-IDMS
tabulates the number of responses, which fall into the
categories defined by these response time (measured in
seconds) limits.  The categories are:

                   Response Time

            0  <= response < L1   Category 1
            L1 <= response < L2   Category 2
            L2 <= response < L3   Category 3
            L3 <= response < L4   Category 4
            L4 <= response < L5   Category 5
            L5 <= response < L6   Category 6
            L6 <= response < L7   Category 7


INTERVAL nnn STATEMENT
----------------------

The INTERVAL nnn statement defines the time interval (in
seconds) to be used in summarizing the IDMS System Activity
File (IDMSSY).  This file is maintained at the DETAIL level;
however, individual IDMS transactions are not maintained
separately because of the volume of such transactions.  The
transactions are summarized together in the interval you
choose.  The interval should be less than one hour and should
be divisible into 3600 (the number of seconds in an hour).
