WRKSYSSTS (Work with System Status)

WRKSYSSTS Command syntax diagram

 

Purpose

The Work with System Status (WRKSYSSTS) command allows you to work with information about the current status of the system. It displays the number of jobs currently in the system, the total capacity of the system auxiliary storage pool (ASP), the percentage of the system ASP currently in use, the amount of temporary storage currently in use, the percentage of machine addresses used, and statistical information related to each storage pool that currently has main storage allocated to it. The statistical information is gathered during an identified time interval (shown as the elapsed time); the data can either be updated by extending the measurement time interval, or it can be restarted to show statistics for the interval starting with the previous display.
