Function:  This report helps identify conditions that cause
           batch job abends related to DASD space shortages.
           These causes can include poor JCL parameters,
           fragmented DASD space, or a shortage of free space
           for certain departments or during certain time
           periods.  This report helps the Storage
           Administrator focus on particular groups or users
           that are having problems, or to identify specific
           time periods in which problems are occurring.
           This report helps the Capacity Planner calculate
           the amount of human and machine 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.

           Generation of the summary report is automatic.

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
           be used to make sure abends are not occurring for
           managed users, and to alter SMS parameters if
           necessary.

COLUMN DESCRIPTIONS

    Summary Group
           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)

    Recovery Elapsed Time
           The total amount of elapsed time necessary for the
           recovery process to complete for the jobs in this
           group.  This is defined as the sum of the
           difference between the start time of the original
           failing step and the start time of the recovery
           step for all the jobs in this group.  If no
           recovery steps were found for any of the jobs in
           this group, a value of zeros will be present.

    Rerun Steps
           The number of job steps (program executions) that
           had to occur to effect the recovery process for
           the failures within this group.  This does not
           include the original failing steps, but does
           include the recovery steps, plus any steps that
           ran during the recovery periods with the same
           jobnames as the original failing jobs.  This will
           have a value of zero if no recovery steps were
           found for any of the jobs in the group.

    Rerun CPU Time
           The amount of processor time (TCB plus SRB CPU
           time) required to perform recovery all the
           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.

    Rerun EXCPs
           The number of I/O requests issued to perform
           recovery for this step.  This includes the I/O
           counts of the failing step, and the I/O used by
           any steps running under the same job name during
           the recovery period.  It does not include the I/O
           used by the recovery step.  If no recovery step is
           found, this only includes the I/O counts used by
           the original failing step.
