RE: Screen include for CPU percentage

["Art Tostaine, Jr." <artjr@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Wouldn't you rather fix the job that is behaving badly?  Run it in
batch?  Raise it's priority so it doesn't affect your interactive users?

Is the job doing OPNQRYF's?  You can build logicals quite easily to
speed those up.  

To answer your question though, you'd have to have a job running that
was using API's to get the CPU%, or doing a WRKACTJOB or WRKSYSSTS to
*Print, and then process that printer file to grab the CPU.  I would
update a file or a data area with the CPU, then your programs would all
have to change to show that information.

If you use the same menu program all across your apps, you could just
change that one to show the info.

Subject: Screen include for CPU percentage

In the upper left-hand corner of all screens I would like to insert the
current percentage so the users can see for themselves what's going on.
Instead of CPU I would relabel it something like "Usage:" or "Load:")

If at all possible I would like to put descriptions instead of the
percentage number (Light/Heavy/Maximum or something like that) in colors
that correspond to the level, but really the percentage is great if I
can
get even that.
