SMF Printer Device Activity
The BATSPL file contains information about print activity at the I/S facility. The Device Name (DEVNAME) data element contains the installation-defined logical device name for JES output writers. For local printers, this data element will contain PRINTERx or PRTxx where xx is an installation-defined printer number.
rm
For remote printers, the DEVNAME data element will contain Rnn.PRxx (.PUxx) where Rnn is the remote terminal number and PRxx (PUxx) is the printer/punch number at the remote. When PSF processes the output and the device is a 3820, DEVNAME will contain the VTAM logical unit name.
A simple SAS PROC FREQ on the DETAIL time-span of the BATSPL file will show how the various printing devices at the I/S facility are utilized:
DATA TEMP ; SET &BATX..BATSPL01 ; PRTLINES=SUM(SPLNLR+SPLPNLR) ; PROC FREQ DATA=TEMP ; TABLES SUBSYSID*DEVNAME ; WEIGHT PRTLINES ; TITLE1 "PRINTER UTILIZATION AT MY CORP"; RUN;
by producing a report something like this:
