KOMAND CCS Support for CICS TS 3.2

IBM has changed the TS 3.2 CPU timer units and the size of the field, as well as the data format. Earlier versions of CICS reported CPU time in 16 Microsecond Timer Units in an eight byte field. The new TS 3.2 reports in plain Microseconds in a twelve byte field with a different format. IBM reports this new format as being more accurate and expects most people will notice an increase in CPU time. If you are using a combination of TS 3.2 and earlier versions of CICS and your version of KOMAND CCS is earlier than V600, you will need to set up separate runs of KOMCCS, one for the TS 3.2 data and one for any earlier CICS data. If all CICS data is from the same version level or you have KOMCCS V600, you only need to run once. However, if you’re charging for combined data, you do need new “CHRG” control statements as described in the attached documentation: Click KOMAND CCS to view documentation.
