Data Item

Description
|
|
PIN
|
This number stands for the Process Identification Number (PIN). Each process is uniquely identified by its own PIN. The easiest way to locate processes is by knowing this number. A single job or session can have many processes associated with it.
|
|
J/S#
|
This is the job or session number associated with the particular process. If the process is a system type (not originating from a user job or session), <sys> will appear in this column.
|
|
Session/User Name
|
This is the logon sequence as initiated by the user or job minus the logon group. Once again, if the process was spawned by MPE/iX and not with a session or job then <System Process> will be shown here.
|
|
Program
|
This is the program executed by the user. Some system type program names will be uniquely identified, such as “Spooler.”
|
|
Acc
|
This is the code that represents how the file is being accessed by the process. R means read. W means write. L means lock.
|
|
File Size
|
This is the size of the file.
|
|
Rec Ptr
|
This is the current record number being accessed.
|
|
%
|
This is the number that will indicate how far a process has progressed through that file.
