5.2.5 System Task Program Activity File (BAT_ST)

The System Task Program Activity File (BAT_ST) quantifies
system task resources, load, and usage.  It contains one
record for every system task step completion or system task
step interval completion, and one for any bypassed job steps.
This file is derived from the type 30 record, subtypes 2, 3,
and 4.  The BAT_ST file contains data only if system task
recording is turned on in the SMFPRMx parameter in
SYS1.PARMLIB.

NOTE:  This file is a parallel file of the BATPGM file, so
       its elements are the same as those of the BATPGM file.

The following sections describe the file's organization, list
the data elements maintained, and provide usage hints.
