Hi,
can we code in rexx to find the list of jobs which is consuming more CPU time in SAR.
Or any other method to find.
(Note:we dont maintain any report monthly or weekly about the jobs consuming max cpu time.)

Thanks

Your systems support should know about it

there are samples around on how to process smf data with DFSORT
google a bit with SMF DFSORT,
You can also search the dfsort forum with SMF

see www-947.ibm.com/systems/support/storage/software/sort/mvs/tricks/

And as I usually say, your performance and/or capacity planning group will probably have everything already to hand, and all you need to do is ask them - rather than reinvent the wheel for the umpteenth time.

I would say that devising solutions for poor organizations is not in the objective of any forum

but helping You to make Your organization a better one is

scanning thousandths jobs in a spool repository is not the smartest way of finding the info requested

You business need should be resolved by proper negotiations between the interested parties

investigate if any account / performance / statistics procedures are in place and use them

It is still not clear what you are looking for, but for performance information I think RMF is the preferred tool. I think it uses SMF as input and can produce reports about CPU usage.
