Maybe this is where we need a NEW utility program, since MONWRITE is doin g exactly the job it was written for (copying ALL monitor data to disk/tape ?). Perhaps a utility that when pointed at a selection criteria file and a monwrite output file, will copy only those monitor records sellected. Or when pointed at such a selection criteria file and the MONDCSS segment, w ill connect to the MONDCSS segment and in real-time copy only those monitor records selected, thereby reducing the amount of VM DASD needed for a z/O S based capacity planning process.
