3.2.3 Daily Job Abend Analysis

The Daily Job Abend Analysis inquiry is a tabular report of
the frequency of termination codes listed according to the
first three characters of the job name.  The report can
easily be modified to report on a characteristic other than
the three-character job name prefix.

INTENDED USE:

The report is used to provide a means for analyzing jobs to
determine excessive resource usage due to program or JCL
errors.  For example, by using this report you can determine
how many jobs beginning with the characters "ADJ" were
terminated with a 322 abend (too much CPU time) on the
previous day.

REPORT FORMAT:

The inquiry produces a tabular report for each system
identifier.  Columns and sub headings are described below:

   TERMCODE                 Ending termination status of
                            the job

   JOBADJ                   First 3 character of the job name
                            (each column representing one
                            substring of the job name)

   FREQUENCY                List of termination codes being
                            reported

   TOTAL                    Total number of jobs that abended
                            with the corresponding
                            termination code

A sample report is shown in Figure 3-8.
