Function: This chart helps identify the amount of CPU time
          being expended in recovery activities for job
          abends related to DASD space shortages.  These
          shortages can be caused by poor JCL parameters, by
          fragmented DASD space, or by a shortage of free
          space for certain departments or during certain
          time periods.  This report gives the Storage
          Administrator a broad overview of the groups or
          users that are having problems, and helps identify
          specific time periods in which problems occur.
          This chart helps the Capacity Planner calculate the
          amount of processor resources wasted in recovery
          activities.

Features: The detection and calculation of resources expended
          doing recovery activities could save much
          time-consuming manual research.  A wide variety of
          filtering and reporting options allow many views of
          the data, such as a broad system-wide view, a
          narrow view related to an individual time or
          department, or a view of a specific time period.
          This report could be run on a daily basis to give a
          general indication of storage system health.  On
          days when anomalies occur, running the Allocations
          Problems analyses again with more detailed options
          could help isolate the problem.  Both color
          graphics and printer graphics are supported by the
          report.

SMS
Issues:   Users implementing SMS may want to identify
          departments having space-related abends as
          potential candidates for movement to SMS Storage
          Groups.  After SMS is implemented, this report can
          help make sure abends are not occurring for
          managed users, and to alter SMS parameters if
          necessary.

COLUMN DESCRIPTIONS

    Pie Slices
          The pie slices represent the total amount of
          processor time (TCB plus SRB CPU time) required to
          perform recovery for all the space-related failures
          within this group.  This includes the CPU time of
          the failing steps, and the CPU time used by any
          steps running under the same job names during the
          recovery period.  It does not include the CPU time
          used by the recovery steps.  If no recovery steps
          are found for the jobs in this group, this will
          only include the CPU time used by the original
          failing steps.

    Pie Labels
          The labels on each slice identify the name of the
          group for which this summarization was performed.
          Depending on the values coded on the report option
          panel, this value can represent one or more of the
          BATPGM file accounting fields, or can be one of the
          following:

          JOBCLASS = (Summary by Job Class of failing jobs)
          ZONE =     (Summary by ZONE of the failing jobs)
          HOUR =     (Summary by Hour of the failing jobs)
          TYPE =     (Summary by space-related abend type)
