CICS program or system services detail line

This is a third-level detail line shown directly under the CICS® region applid detail line. This line represents a CICS program (usually an application) that was in control during execution of the transaction. The fourth-level lines shown under this item can be either CICS command lines, SQL Request lines, DLI Request lines or Module lines.

If no CICS application program was dispatched, “CICS” is shown under the Name heading and “System Services” under the Description heading.

Under Heading This is Displayed
Name The module name of the CICS program. If lines grouped under this line are CICS command lines, this field is displayed in red. For Module lines grouped under this line, the field is turquoise. “CICS” is displayed here if no application program was in control.
Description If lines grouped under this line are CICS command lines, the description displays “EXEC CICS.” If lines grouped under this line are SQL request lines, the description displays “EXEC SQL.” If lines grouped under this line are DLI request lines, the description displays “EXEC DLI.” Otherwise, if the program name is a recognized CICS module name (a DFH* name), a functional description is shown, and “CICS Program” is displayed if the CICS module name is not recognized; indicating this is likely an application program. “System Services” is displayed if no application program was in control.
Execution The mean time, in seconds, that CPU execution was observed while transaction control was under the CICS program identified in the Name column.
Suspend The mean time, in seconds, that CICS had suspended execution of the transaction while transaction control was under the CICS program identified in the Name column.
Delay The mean time, in seconds, that execution of the transaction was delayed while transaction control was under the CICS program identified in the Name column.
Transaction execution can be delayed for one of the following reasons:
  • CICS dispatch delay
  • MVS™ dispatch delay
  • MVS WAIT
Service The mean service time for the transaction during which control was under the CICS program identified in the Name column. Service time includes execution, suspend, and delay time.
