Local Data Area View Description

In the following table, all fields are listed and described in the order in which they appear in the local data area L-NMHIST. The actual file listing follows the table.

The letter D in the DE column indicates that the field is a descriptor. A format indicator followed by a numeric field length is found in the Format/Length column. Possible format indicators include A (alphanumeric), B (binary), and N numeric.

Description
1 REVIEW-NM-FILE-VIEW     View name to be used when reading the Natural Monitor repository file.
2 CONTROL-FIELDS     History record control fields group name.
3 NM-SUBSYSTEM   A2 Natural Monitor subsystem type. Response time subsystem history records have a NM-SUBSYSTEM value of RT.
3 NM-DATE-SAVED   N8.0 For RT subsystem history reports this field contains the date (in YYYYMMDD format) that the record was saved.
3 NM-TIME-SAVED   N6.0 For RT subsystem history reports this field contains the time (in HHMMSS 24-hour format) that the record was saved.
3 NM-DATE-COMPLEMENT   N8.0 For RT subsystem history reports this field contains the twos-complement of the date that the record was saved.
3 NM-TIME-COMPLEMENT   N6.0 For RT subsystem history reports this field contains the twos-complement of the time that the record was saved.
3 NM-SORT-FLD   A32 For RT subsystem history reports this field contains the report name for which the record was saved.
3 NM-SEQ   B2 For RT subsystem history reports this field contains the record sequence number for the record that was written. A value of 1 in this field denotes that the record is a response time interval record (corresponding to the VW and VH display). A value greater than 1 in this field denotes the record sequence number for detailed records.
2 NM-RECORD-TYPE   B4 This field is not currently used.
2 RESPONSE-TIME-SUBSYSTEM     Response time subsystem fields group name.

The following fields refer to response time subsystem report definitions (ER (edit report) command):
