Job trace exit program

[Vernon Hamberg <vhamberg@xxxxxxxxx>]

I'm trying to use the job trace exit program support on V5R1. It doesn't
seem to be working right. Have looked at the APAR knowledge base and the
software knowledge base at iSeries support.

I name a program on the TRCJOB command. This program only takes the trace
record and puts it into a user queue.

This is done so that as little time as possible is spent in processing the
data, so that there is minimal chance of losing trace records.

But some of the data is missing, like number of reads, writes,
instructions, CPU time. These items DO show up in the spoled file that you
get when you *OFF the TRCJOB.

Here's an example, the spooled file and a dump of the user queue that
corresponds.

The first byte (00) is for program flow.
The second (08) is for RETURN.
The next 8 (83EA A4647078 9170) are a timestamp - don't know which kind,
internal or otherwise.
The next 20 (D8E4 D6C3D4C4   40404040 D8E2E8E2 40404040 4040) are program
and library name (QUOCMD    QSYS).
The last byte on line 1 (08) is the call level.

The second line is the problem. It should have all the data for ENTRY,
EXIT, CPU TIME, DB READS, NON-DB READS, PAGES WRITTEN, and NUMBER WAITS.
(The 3 *N's are for module, module library, & procedure name.)

But all the bytes are 00.

What's up?
