The INQUIRE STATISTICS command returns information about the recording of CICS resource and system statistics. CICS records system statistics periodically if the RECORDING switch is on, at a frequency governed by the INTERVAL option. These statistics are called interval statistics. At end-of-day time (the ENDOFDAY option), CICS records end-of-day statistics--which are the statistics for the interval since the last resetting--whether or not the switch is on, ensuring that statistics are written at least once a day. Recording occurs on a system management facility (SMF) data set, and the counts are reset after recording.
There are two formats for each of the time values that you can retrieve with this command (the end-of-day time, the recording interval, and the next time that recording will occur):
The CICS® Performance Guide contains more detail about CICS statistics, and the SET STATISTICS command describes the relationship between the interval and end-of-day times.
