TIME command

Summary

Privileges

Any user

Function

Displays information about system time usage and user request statistics

Syntax

TIME [REQUEST]

Example

TIME CPU=0.049 CNCT=270 SQRD=9 SQWR=12 T REQUEST CPU=0.054 CNCT=357 SQRD=10 SQWR=13 PDL=360 CNCT=357 CPU=54 OUT=14 IN=10 RQTM=357794

Usage notes

The TIME command requests that Model 204 display statistics about the use of system time and other resources. If TIME is specified without an option, Model 204 can display nonzero values for the statistics in the table below.

TIME command statistics

Statistic	Cumulative number of ...
CNCT	Seconds elapsed clock time since logging in
CPU	Seconds of computer processing time expended by the user since logging in
DKRD	Disk reads since logging in
DKWR	Disk writes since logging in
SQRD	Terminal reads since logging in
SQWR	Terminal writes since logging in

If the command is issued in the form TIME REQUEST, Model 204 displays a second group of statistics. These additional statistics represent accumulations since the beginning of the execution of the last request. Nonzero values can be displayed for almost any of the user since-last statistics described in Using system statistics.

Sending TIME and T REQUEST output to the USE data set

If there is an open USE data set, the TIME and T REQUEST commands output is directed to it. See RESET COMMAND: Control USE data set support for a discussion of how to direct the output.
