SMF OPEN Statements
Certain batch jobs do not have turnaround measures applied to them. An example is the IMS Control Region run as a batch job. SMF records data for it as it would for any batch job, but standard and deadline turnaround definitions clearly do not apply. It is important not to report such activity with normal batch activity. The purpose of open JOBGROUPs is to separate such activity from normal batch work. JOBTURTM (Job Turnaround Time) is set to missing for jobs assigned an open job group.

Open JOBGROUPs are defined to
MICS
with OPEN statements that follow the DEADLINE (if present) statements in prefix.MICS.PARMS(JOBGROUP). OPEN statements provide a JOBGROUP number, service factor, and descriptive name for each OPEN job group.As with most
MICS
PARMS members, the format of statements is free-form, but positional. Blank statements are allowed. Comments are coded by beginning the statement with an asterisk (*). You should modify the sample JOBGROUP member supplied with the MICS
.PARMS library distributed with the MICS
system rather than code it from scratch. An OPEN statement has the following format:OPEN nnn sf 'descriptive text'
where:
nnn
the number of this JOBGROUP (180-195). Numbers must be specified in order from lowest to highest, but gaps should be left for future expansion.
sf
the service factor, which allows priority accounting by
MICS Accounting and Chargeback
. It allows a discount or surcharge factor to be specified for particular JOBGROUPs to reflect the level of service requested by the user. The service factor is only applied if the service request is met or exceeded. The allowable range of values for the service factor is 0.1 through 99.9.For more information about service factor, see Using Accounting and Chargeback. This parameter must be specified even if
MICS Accounting and Chargeback
is not installed. September 'descriptive text'
a 1- to 30-character title that describes this JOBGROUP. This title must be enclosed in single quotes.
