You can access this panel by any of the following methods:

• Line command O from the Job List panel
• Line command O from the Alert List panel
• Line command O from the Job Overview panel
• Primary command O from the Job Overview panel

If you access this panel by using line command O from the Job Overview panel, all options are available and are highlighted. If you use any of the other available methods to access this panel, option 2 is not highlighted and is not available.

The number of history entries in option 3 is a variable that can be set from 01 to 10. The default is 03.

The following provides an overview of the options on the Overtake Functions panel:

Reset statistical values to zero

With this option, all current averages and variances of the selected job step are cleared to zero. The statistical calculation will start from zero with the next execution of the job step.

This option is available when you access the Overtake Functions panel with any of the following methods:

• line command O from the Job List panel
• line command O from the Alert List panel
• line command O from the Job Overview panel
• primary command O from the Job Overview panel

Build statistical values from selected job step execution

The job step execution values of the selected history entry are set as new average values. Based on the averages, new values are calculated for the variances.

This option is only available when you access the Overtake Functions panel with line command O from the Job Overview panel.

Calculate statistical values based on the last nn history entries

With this option, the statistical values (averages and variances) will be recalculated based on the most recent n job history entries. n is the user-defined number of most recent entries (1 - 10) to consider.

This option is available when you access the Overtake Functions panel with any of the following methods:

• line command O from the Job List panel
• line command O from the Alert List panel
• line command O from the Job Overview panel
• primary command O from the Job Overview panel

Edit statistical values

Use of this option is a very delicate operation and should be used with caution.

You can enter your own average values. For each average value that you set, the variances are recalculated based on the new average entry.

This option is available when you access the Overtake Functions panel with any of the following methods:

• line command O from the Job List panel
• line command O from the Alert List panel
• line command O from the Job Overview panel
• primary command O from the Job Overview panel
