Hi,

#IEP ** MOST INTENSIVELY EXECUTED PROCEDURES **

MODULE SECTION LINE PROCEDURE START
NAME NAME NUMBER NAME LOC

IQO8Q210 IQO8Q210 001500
IQO8Q210 IQO8Q210 003540
IQO8Q210 IQO8Q210 001F40

I thought that START LOC would be the hexadecimal offset from the compile listing of the program.But i could find 001500 or 003540 or 001F40 in the compile listing.I am trying to find the statement of the program which is consuming high CPU.Can anybody tell me what START LOC means in the Strobe report.

Hi,
START LOC means the hexdecimal offset address in your compile listing.
Sometimes it might not point to the exact statement. Its around the location.
make sure the compile listing is valid.I mean no changes to the program or copybooks from the time you generated the strobe and the compile listing you are looking.
Thanks,
Viji

Hello,

Many single COBOL statements generate multiple assembler/machine instructions. When Strobe executes, it does not "see" the cobol code, only the underlying executable instructions.

In your compile listing look at the cobol instruction just before the START LOC in the Strobe output.

You might also have the compile output the generated assembler which should point to the actual instruction.
