9.1.1.3 ASG-TMON for CICS Data


The CA MICS Analyzer Option for CICS processes ASG-TMON
system and transaction records, which can be in a compressed
format.  To decompress the data, a special function,
CICMONUT, is called by DAY040 to intercept the SAS INPUT
statement and pass control to ASG-TMON's decompressor
($CRCPRS for Version 8 and above).  After decompression,
control is returned to SAS to continue with normal input
processing.

Although ASG-TMON does not produce data dictionary records,
the $CICDEP informat used to process CMF data is also used to
process the decompressed ASG-TMON data.  During DAY040
initialization, a pseudo dictionary is built for ASG-TMON,
which is then used by $CICDEP to read the data records.
