At normal database termination, the statistics gathered during AVILOOK processing are written to the database job log.
The following screen is an example of the output provided by AVILOOK.

This screen shows statistics on the command type and quantity of
key-based accesses against the file (for example,
S1
, L3
, and
L9
commands). The statistics are displayed in
descending order by command code (CC) and Adabas two-character field name
(Desc).
In the example, there are 2836 accesses to file 2 using an
L3
command with the Adabas field AA as the primary
sequence field. Such a file, where the predominant access is by a single key,
may benefit from being partitioned using the Adabas field AA as the Adabas
Vista partitioning field.
