The user can employ this statement to obtain information on the monitoring programs and monitoring cycles contained in a system-global SM2 output file. Output covers all input files with link names SM2UI1 to SM2UI99. If SHOW-INFORMATION is entered as the only SM2U1 statement, then the link name of the output file does not have to be specified. In this case a simple screen output of the requested information is generated.
If the link name is supplied for output or if SHOW-INFORMATION is entered in combination with SELECT-MEASUREMENT-GROUPS or MERGE-FILES, merging of input files is also initiated once the END statement has been completely processed.

INFORMATION = *MONITORING-PERIODS / list-poss(2): *STATISTIC-PERIODS / *MONITORING-PERIODS |
Operands
INFORMATION =
Selects the type of information.
INFORMATION = *MONITORING-PERIODS
Outputs information on the individual monitoring cycles as well as current file names. This operand is particularly important for output of the directories of files where more than one measurement is involved.
The following individual information is output:
date and time the file was opened
date and time the file was closed
number of SM2 monitoring cycles involved
index of the monitoring period (important for splitting up SM2 output files).
INFORMATION = *STATISTIC-PERIODS
Information pertaining to start and stop times is output for the monitoring programs contained in the SM2 output file. This information is required in order to be able to select individual monitoring programs for analysis.
The following individual information is output:
date and time the monitoring program started; name of the monitoring program (for the TASK and SYSTEM monitoring programs)
date and time the monitoring program stopped; name of the monitoring program (for the TASK and SYSTEM monitoring programs)
date and time of the CLOSE record (after abnormal termination of SM2 and after monitoring programs have been started, provided there is a CLOSE record).
