Specifies a numeric value, from 0 to 2147483647(2G – 1), to control the interval after which tableBASE strobe reporting is triggered. The delivered default is 0 and will produce a final STROBE report if DDNAME TBTSRPT is present.
For the VTS environment, this option is used in conjunction with STROBEMETHOD. The numeric value specified either represents a call count (STROBEMETHOD=0) or a minute interval (STROBEMETHOD=3). See STROBEMETHOD—Strobe Method for more details.
For all other environments, the numeric value represents a call count.
The STROBE option can be specified for all except the DB2 Stored Procedure interface as strobe reporting does not work in this environment.
TBTSRPT is not relevant in the CICS environment. CICS strobe statistics are written to a CICS journal file (DFHJ99) from which the STROBE report is generated via a tableBASE utility (DK1TSTRB).
For more information on CICS strobe reporting, please refer to the tableBASE Administration Guide.
This option applies to the TSR created by this region or job and all users accessing it.
