Block             (Overview)

DESCRIPTION
"Block" shows the record number within the "Dataset" that the transaction 
("Transid") is currently accessing. Sun MTP reads a dataset into memory using
blocks of records at a time.  If the dataset is relatively small, there will
only be a small number of blocks used (and possibly only one).


VALUES
The value of "Block" ranges from 1 to n, where n is the number of blocks in
the "Dataset".


INTERPRETATION
The "Block" number can help determine if a bottleneck is present in the
database. For example, if many transactions access the same "Block" within the 
same dataset, the transactions could be waiting too long for records and cause 
system degradation.


CONCLUSIONS
Use the "Block" field together with the "Dataset" field to discover problems
with a transaction's database access.
