3.2.5 Operational and User Program Abends

The Operational and User Program Abends inquiry is a summary
of resources wasted (execution time and CPU time) because of
operational type abends such as 322 (running too long on a
system than time allowed), D37 abends (output operation on
requested DASD), and user program abends (0Cx abends).

INTENDED USE:

The report is used to provide a detailed and summarized
analysis of CPU resources used on abended jobs.  The
information can be used as a starting point for analysis of
resource usage based on user or program.

The report can also point out areas needing attention.  For
example, if heavy amounts of resources are used by jobs
ending with x37 type abends, it may be useful to further
investigate the disk subsystem.

REPORT FORMAT:

This inquiry produces a tabular report with the following
columns described below:

   SYSID                    Translated ORGSYSID

   Abend Code               Termination code

   Execution Time           Job's execution time until the
                            abend

   CPU Time                 Jobs's total CPU time expended
                            until the abend

   Totals                   Total execution time and total
                            CPU time for all jobs running on
                            the system (SYSID)

A sample report is shown in Figure 3-10.
