I agree that it is CPU seconds but what miscellaneous CPU seconds are being
charged to my job.

The question came from a job that ran the 403 seconds. A minor tweak was
make to one of the programs and it used 10 times as many CPU seconds. The
first run was on a light day and the second run was on a heavily abused day
so before I totally blame the tweak, I want to make sure there wasn't a
bunch of misc system functions such as swapping that got added to my CPU
seconds and skewed the numbers.

I don't know, but if you have a job log print file for that job, look at
start and end times - a little math should answer your question and, if
memory serves, the job log shows net cpu seconds.

The line in the joblog states



Job 999999/UUUUUUUUUU/JJJJJJJJJJ ended on 06/12/15 at02:36:42; 430.362
seconds used; end code 0



I have always thought this was CPU seconds used to execute the job but some
questions have come up to make me wonder if it is more than that.



For example,

1) If the system is really bogged down and doing a lot of swapping,
does the CPU time spent swapping get added to this?

2) If the DASD is really bogged down, does that have any effect on this
number?

3) If there is a lock of a record and the program is in a LCKW state,
does that add any CPU overhead to my job (not sure if my program goes to
sleep and the OS wakes it up when the lock frees or if my program is
checking the lock status behind the scenes)?



Can someone provide a good explanation of this number and what else if
anything other than my program instructions are included in it?
