INput

The syntax for this operand is INPUT(ddname1,ddname2,...) if one or more CICS® systems, or INPUT=ddname if only one. Use this operand to specify the ddnames of the input data sets or log stream for each CICS system to be reported. If not specified, the default ddname is SMFIN. The CICS PA dialog, however, assigns ddnames in the format SMFINnnn where nnn is a sequential number in the range 001-999 to uniquely identify each CICS system's data sets.

For example, in the following statement the input for the Performance List and Performance Summary reports is taken from SMFIN004:
CICSPA INPUT(SMFIN004),
       LIST,
       SUMMARY

Specifying data input

The input data sets to be processed by CICS PA reports and extracts must be specified in your JCL. To do this:

  1. Nominate the data sets in the SMFINnnn DD statements of your JCL, where nnn is a sequential number 001-999 to uniquely identify the data sets. (CICS PA will accept other ddnames of your choosing.)
  2. Code the command CICSPA INput(ddname) where ddname is SMFINnnn corresponding to the data files to be processed.
Figure 1 shows an example of the JCL.
