C.2.4 ISPF Statistics Entry in a PDS Directory
The following is the format of the information that ISPF writes to the PDS
directory to maintain statistics for a member. If you suspect the
statistics data has been corrupted, you can compare the existing entry
against these formats to help in problem determination.
Byte Description and Format
1 Version number, in hexadecimal format. Value is between X'01'
and X'99'.
2 Modification level, in hexadecimal format. Value is between
X'00' and X'99'.
3 Flags:
Bit 1 SLCM indicator. SCLM uses this to determine whether the
member and any related SCLM information are still in
sync.
o ON means the member was last edited by SCLM, the PDF
Software Configuration and Library Manager.
o OFF means the member was somehow processed outside
SCLM.
