User fields

User fields can be one of the following types:
CHARACTER
Character string
COUNT
Binary or Packed counter
CLOCKTIME and CLOCKCOUNT
The two parts of clock type fields:
CLOCKTIME
The elapsed time part
CLOCKCOUNT
The count of the number of times the condition occurred

The format of the command for requesting user fields in the Performance List report is:

For character type user fields:
CICSPA LIST[(FIELDS(CHARACTER(OWNER(owner)
                [,SUBSTR(offset,length)])))]
For numeric type user fields:
CICSPA LIST[(FIELDS(COUNT|CLOCKTIME|CLOCKCOUNT(
                 OWNER(owner),NUMBER(nnn))))]
The options are:
OWNER(owner)
Must be specified for all user field types. It is the 1-8 character owner of the user field, identified by the entry name in the ID= parameter of the TYPE=EMP entry in the MCT, or the CICS-assigned default name of USER (no entry name in the ID= parameter).
SUBSTR(offset,length)
Optional. Applies to character fields only. It specifies that only part of the user field is to be reported; that part starting at the offset position (where 1 is the first character in the field) for the number of characters specified by length. If SUBSTR is not specified, the default is the entire field (although limited to 8 characters for the Performance Summary report).
NUMBER(nnn)
Must be specified for all numeric types (COUNT, CLOCKTIME, CLOCKCOUNT). It specifies the three-digit number that identifies a specific count or clock type field. For each owner, up to 256 count type and up to 256 clock type user fields can be defined to CICS®, whereas for character user fields, only one can be defined for each owner.
