The functions provided in the Statistics window are described in the following sections.
When you invoke this function, the Snapshot window appears.
A snapshot of the spool file provides information on formatting, the
number of existing profiles, and the amount of unused resources. In addition,
it indicates whether the chosen format is appropriate for the reports to be
created. Important for this are the values provided in the fields Reports
greater than one group and Unused Records/group
(average).

In the above example window, the following information is provided:
The spool file is formatted with 1000 groups of 3 records each. 8 of these groups are in use, 992 of them are free.
The spool file contains 7 reports. 6 of these reports cover one group. 1 report uses more than one group. That means that 14.2% of the reports cover more than one group.
20 records are used for user profiles, 60 records for logical printers, 29 records for allocations, 33 records for physical printers, and so on.
Take care that the number of reports that are greater than one group is kept to a small percentage. Otherwise, the spool file should be reformatted with a higher number of records per group (see Function 30.3).
The information Unused Records/group (average): 2 tells
you that on average, two records per group are not in use. Thus, in the above
example, formatting with two records per group would be sufficient.
When you invoke the function Form Statistics (Function 21.2), Printer Statistics (Function 21.3) or User Statistics (Function 21.4), a selection window similar to the one below appears.
