Statements for nonprivileged users

INTERVAL

Specifies the output mode.

=number

“number” defines the output cycle during which the reports are to be
output at regular intervals.

This can be an integer between 10 and 3600 seconds.

The INTERVAL=number specification is not mandatory. If it is
omitted, SM2 inserts the value for the output cycle by using the
value of the online monitoring cycle (default). An exception to this is
the first output cycle, in which the reports are output in direct
succession. With a normal workload, the system requires approxi-
mately one second to output a report. The value for the output cycle
should be at least as large as the sum of the output times of the
selected reports.

=CONTROLLED

Each report is output only at the request of the user (controlled
mode). The reports of the last completely executed cycle are
available for output. Each report can be requested using a paging
statement (see page 152) once SM2 displays the ENTER
COMMAND message. In place of the paging statements, any other
statement can also be used to request the report. The statement
OUTPUT INTERVAL=number can be used to switch to automatic
output mode.

Before changing the output cycle, please refer to “Relationship between the monitoring
cycle and the output cycle” on page 153.

OUTPUT INT=C

SM2 output is prompted via the data display terminal. Following every output
operation, the user is requested to enter a command. SM2 then executes the
statement. The user also has the option of controlling report output.

OUTPUT TER=NO,HC=YES

SM2 output is to the SYSLST system file. There is no output to the data display
terminal. Output takes place in automatic mode. The analysis period is equal to the
monitoring cycle.
