******************************* Bottom of data *******************************
Note: The Type column indicates both the system type, such as TS for CICS® Transaction Server or TG for CICS Transaction Gateway, and the collection type, such as INT or EOD. For a CICS TG system, the VRM column indicates the CICS TG VRM.

Enter line action S to select the required interval to start reporting.

Line Actions: The valid line actions for the list of intervals are:
Display the menu of line actions
S
View statistics reports
P
Print statistics reports
D
Delete the collection interval (from the display only)
Primary Commands: The following primary commands are available:
RESET
This command (or RES) removes all unprocessed line actions and reinstates deleted intervals.

Also available from Edit in the action bar.

SORT SYSTEM|TYPE|COLLECT
This command sorts the list of CICS Statistics intervals:
SYSTEM
Sorts intervals by system name (the System column). Intervals for the same system name are sorted by collection time in reverse chronological order (most recent first). This is the default sort order.
TYPE
Sorts intervals by the Type column: the system type, such as TS for CICS Transaction Server or TG for CICS Transaction Gateway, then the collection type, such as INT or EOD. Intervals for the same system type and collection type are sorted by collection time in reverse chronological order.
COLLECT
Sorts intervals by collection time in reverse chronological order.

You can also sort by selecting a point-and-shoot column heading.

FILTER [ON|OFF]
Filters allow you to control the information displayed. When filtering is in effect Filter Mode - More: is displayed in the top right corner of the panel.
There are three forms of the command:
  • FILTER displays the active Filter where you can view or change the filtering criteria. See Figure 1.
  • FILTER OFF suspends filtering and displays all the intervals.
  • FILTER ON resumes filtering.

Also available from Filter in the action bar.
