CPU Time          (PCT)

DESCRIPTION
The "CPU Time" column shows the accumulated amount of CPU time spent executing 
a particular "Transid" since initiation of a Sun MTP system.


VALUES
Sun MTPScan displays the "CPU Time" in the following format: hh:mm:ss.


INTERPRETATION
The "CPU Time" of a transaction includes both kernel (system call) and user
(application code) execution time. If a Sun MTP system uses a database access
method instead of the Sun MTP VSAM method (e.g. a database server such as Oracle,
Informix, Sybase, . . .etc), the "CPU Time" does not reflect the execution time
spent by the external database server. 


CONCLUSIONS
If a transaction executes only a few times (small number of "Executed") and 
the "CPU Time" indicates it executes for a longer than expected period of time,
the "Transid" is either a candidate for optimization or the victim of a program
logic error. In either case, the application program code requires attention.
