Dispatcher Tables Summary report

The Dispatcher Tables Summary Report provides a summary of the processing performed by CICS PA. It can provide valuable information for problem determination. If no records are being processed for your requested reports and extracts, there is an excellent chance that the Dispatcher Tables Summary provides all the information needed to resolve the problem.

Report command

The report is automatically produced before report and extract processing. It cannot be explicitly requested.

The Dispatcher Tables Summary contains the following information:

Start of changeSMF DD or Log Stream nameEnd of change
The DDname of the SMF input file, followed by a plus (+) sign if more than one DDname was specified in the INPUT operand.
Off
This is the offset into the data record that the CICS PA scan program uses to determine whether or not the record should be processed.
PreScan
The CICS PA module name that pre-processes each CMF record before they are passed to the record processors.
Routine
This is the name of the record processing module. Each specification of the program causes a separate use of the module. However, only one copy of the module is loaded.
Output
The output file DDname that was either specified in the OUTPUT operand or assigned by CICS PA. The name is followed by a (NO) if the file failed to open. It can also be followed by a (DY) if the file is a DUMMY data set.
EOF
A Y in this column indicates that the record processor is invoked at End of File of the input file.
ParmName
This name is assigned by CICS PA to uniquely identify each invocation of a record processing module.
Codes
This field represents the CMF record codes which are checked at the offset location (Off) in the data record.

An asterisk (*) next to the PreScan routine, Record Processing routine or Output DDname signifies that this entry has been used by a previous report. Try to avoid reusing Output DDnames, as the report output might be merged or difficult to distinguish.
