OPS/REXX Built-in Functions › OPSCPU Function

OPSCPU Function

The OPSCPU function returns information about the processors. You can use this function as follows:

• In OPS/REXX programs or AOF rules
• Only on z/OS 1.6 and higher systems. If used on prior levels of the operating system the function always returns a value of zero and no lines are added to the EDQ.

Note: This function returns data similar to the array of processor data returned by the z/OS DISPLAY M=CPU command. However, you can use the OPSCPU function synchronously in rules or OPS/REXX programs without waiting for a response.

This function has the followings format:

var = OPSCPU(func)

func

Defines the type of call you want the OPSCPU function to make. Currently, the only valid function call is I, for inquiry. You must always specify the func argument. This argument is not case sensitive.
