SMFDLS Control Statement Reference › ENDTIME

ENDTIME

The ENDTIME statement is not required and can only be used if the ENDDATE statement is used. ENDTIME lets you limit the date range of dumps for a logstream.

Statement Format:

ENDTIME

►►─ ENDTIME(hhmmssth) ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────►◄

Operands and Descriptions:

(hhmmssth)

Specifies which records should or should not be dumped. The value indicates that only records with a timestamp value that is less than the value indicated will be dumped. The syntax is a 4, 6, or 8 digit 24-hour clock value.

• If the value is 4 digits long, the digits are processed as a two digit hour and a two digit minute.
• If the value is 6 digits, the value is processed as hours, minutes, and seconds.
• If the value is 8 digits, the value is processed as hours, minutes, seconds, and hundredths of a second.

The default is the current time of day unless the ENDDATE statement is coded and specified as a date other than today's date, in which case the default is 2359.

The control statements that are generated for IFASMFDL will only reflect the hour and minute values from the ENDTIME control statement due to the syntax of the IFASMFDL control statements. The generated control statements are printed in the CAF4035I message in the SMFDLSPR print data set. The exits that are used by SMFDLS to interact with IFASMFDL will ensure that the seconds and fraction are honored during the dump process.
