Explanation: FROMDATE(yyyy/mm/dd)
is an optional parameter limiting the statistics report to activity
that occurred on or after the date you specify. For yyyy/mm/dd,
substitute the first date you want DFSMShsm to report statistics.
For example, if you specify FROMDATE(2001/02/01), DFSMShsm reports
statistics for Feb. 1, 2001 through the current date.
A leading zero is not required for a one-digit month or day.
Defaults: If you do not specify FROMDATE,
the starting date defaults to the current date.
If you specify a FROMDATE that is later than TODATE, DFSMShsm sets
FROMDATE to the same date as TODATE.
Note: - You must specify yyyy/mm/dd if you specify FROMDATE.
- If you specify that DFSMShsm report the statistics for the current
day, DFSMShsm does not give you the latest statistics. The statistics
records are kept in storage and accumulated with a control data set
copy of the record only once an hour. Also, each DFSMShsm host uses
the same control data set record. New records are created each day
for the DFSMShsm activities that have occurred today. Therefore,
use today’s statistics report as an indication of trends of DFSMShsm
activity.
- If FROMDATE is specified, it must not be after TODATE (specified
or defaulted).
- For REPORT VOLUMES, DFSMShsm does not allow requesting a range
of dates spanning the century. In other words, both FROMDATE and
TODATE (whether specified or defaulted) must be before 1 January 2000,
or both FROMDATE and TODATE (whether specified or defaulted) must
be after 31 December 1999.
