Detail lines reported for PSW sampling

Various report detail lines quantify activity on the basis of the PSW (Program Status Word) address values observed at the time of the sample. One PSW observation is recorded for each TCB. Depending on the report, the 'activity' might be: CPU usage, WAIT time, Queued time, or overall service time.

The analysis reports classify the PSW address values and aggregate them into 'objects'. The reports show each of these objects in one detail line arranged in a hierarchy. Each successive level in the hierarchy represents a more granular breakdown of the quantifications reported in the higher level items.

These objects are reported with a Name field, a Description, a quantification expressed as a percentage, and a histogram depicting the quantity. Descriptions of these detail lines are presented here.
