Because at our site we have an ASSEMBLER coded interface module between every two application modules that does the control transfer (and the module load at first call, the AMODE switch etc.), we are able to count the module calls by replacing this interface module by a special one which collects this information (number of times a module has been called, or number of times module x has been called from module y).
Another solution would be: modifying the instruction at the entry points of the interesting modules at load time (for example with a TRAP instruction) and counting the executions in the TRAP exit. Kind regards Bernd Am 10.09.2013 22:33, schrieb Farley, Peter x23353:
A question was asked here whether the number of times a COBOL CALL was done to various subroutines in a batch job step could somehow be reported out of system-generated information. We were informed by local SMF specialists that LINK/LOAD/XCTL/ATTACH/DETACH counts were not available from SMF records. It occurred to me to wonder if LE maintains any sort of "CALL" count information for DYNAMically invoked routines (i.e., COBOL DYNAM compiler option, or "CALL variable-name" with option NODYNAM). Does anyone here know if there any such information available through LE services? Is there any way at all to get such information short of in-program call counters reported at EOJ by the programs themselves? Peter
