Re: WRKACTJOB?

No I don't think so, because the activity levels sure look like the
average over that time period - the only way it could do this is by
running in the background.  Try this to test it sometime - do a
WRKACTJOB.  F3.  Submit a batch job you know uses CPU.  Let it run for a
few minutes, then hold it.  Do another WRKACTJOB.  The batch job shows
non-zero CPU utilization - the only way that could happen is if
statistica are being captured from the time of the first WRKACTJOB,
since once the job is held,. it's CPU util. is 0.

I think this goes for WRKSYSSTS too.
