SM2 information screens
SM2 screen output
The header line of each screen contains global information, namely:
CYCLE
Duration of the (online) monitoring cycle in seconds, i.e. period after
which the collected values are available for output
which the collected values are available for output
SAMPLES
Number of samples taken within the (online) monitoring cycle
These values are output if they are relevant to the current screen.
The host name is output in the top left-hand corner.
The date and time are output in the top right-hand corner of the screen. In the case of
statistics screens, this is the point at which the last (online) monitoring cycle was
terminated. For all other screens, it is the current time when the screen is output.
statistics screens, this is the point at which the last (online) monitoring cycle was
terminated. For all other screens, it is the current time when the screen is output.
In the screens which concern the host network (GLOBAL, NSM, SHARED-PVS), the
header line displays the data of the first host listed in the report or of the first selected host.
If the list of selected hosts contains the local host, this host is always the first one in the list.
The remaining hosts appear in the order in which they were specified by the user in the
SELECT-HOSTS statement.

Representation of values in SM2 output screens
The string ***** is output in place of a value if no value is available.
The string <<<<< is output if computation is not possible. The string >digit digit digit ... is
output if the value does not fit into the available space.

Special terminals
–
3270 terminals
The reports can also be output on a 3270 terminal. The terminal type is queried (by
means of the TSTAT macro) and, if the 3270 terminal is recognized, the 23rd line (blank
line) of each report is omitted.

Terminals with a German keyboard
When reports are output on terminals with a German keyboard, for the sake of clarity,
the delimiter “|” is output as “!” rather than “ö”. The TSTAT macro is also used to query
the keyboard. In this case, PDN must be generated appropriately. When generating
PDN, the parameter DEUTSCH = JA / NEIN (German=yes/no) in the XOPCH macro
must be set to JA. The default setting is NEIN (see the “PDN Generation" manual [12]).

Terminal emulations on the PC
In the case of terminal emulations on t he PC (e.g. MT9750), the character set “Inter-
national” must be set in the keyboard configuration in order to output the delimiter “/”.
