Dataset           (Overview)

DESCRIPTION
The "Dataset" specifies the name of the VSAM dataset that is currently being
accessed by the transaction.


VALUES
"Dataset" displays the name of a dataset specified in the File Control Table 
(FCT).


INTERPRETATION
The "Dataset" field shows exactly which dataset a transaction is accessing at
any point in time. The "Dataset" name can change as the transaction accesses
different datasets.


CONCLUSIONS
Use this datapoint in conjunction with the "Block" datapoint to ensure that
a transaction is behaving properly. First of all, too many transactions access-
ing the same "Block" in the same "Dataset" may indicate a resource contention 
that could be resolved programmatically.
