2. If the wait-state interpretation capability is available on the real processor, it is
used for dedicated virtual CPUs. When the wait-state interpretation capability is
used, the guest virtual machine remains dispatched even when it enters a PSW
enabled-wait state. Time consumed dispatched in the wait state is included in
the virtual and total CPU time reported for the guest.
3. The default date format for certain CP and CMS commands can be set on a
system-wide basis and also for the individual user. The system-wide default
date format is set with the SYSTEM_DATEFORMAT system configuration
statement. The user’s default date format is set with the DATEFORMAT user
directory control statement. The system-wide default and the user’s default can
also be set with the CP SET DATEFORMAT command. The user’s default date
format defaults to the system-wide default. The system-wide and user settings
can be queried with the CP QUERY DATEFORMAT command. The hierarchy of
possible date format settings for the QUERY TIME command, from highest
priority to lowest, is:
v QUERY TIME command operand
v User default
v System-wide default
Response 1:
If you enter QUERY TIME SHORTDATE, you get the following response:
TIME IS hh:mm:mm zone weekday mm/dd/yy
CONNECT= hh:mm:ss VIRTCPU= mmm:ss.hs TOTCPU= mmm:ss.hs
This shows the current real clock time (in hours, minutes, and seconds), the time
zone (for example, EST), the day of the week, and the calendar date.
Response 2:
If you enter QUERY TIME FULLDATE, you get the following response:
TIME IS hh:mm:mm zone weekday mm/dd/yyyy
CONNECT= hh:mm:ss VIRTCPU= mmm:ss.hs TOTCPU= mmm:ss.hs
Response 3:
If you enter QUERY TIME ISODATE, you get the following response:
TIME IS hh:mm:mm zone weekday yyyy-mm-dd
CONNECT= hh:mm:ss VIRTCPU= mmm:ss.hs TOTCPU= mmm:ss.hs
Explanation of Response 1, 2, and 3 Contents:
QUERY TIME
CONNECT= hh:mm:ss
identifies the actual clock time consumed in the current session in hours,
minutes, and seconds. The maximum value for this field is 99:59.59. A time
value larger than the maximum will be indicated by this value.
VIRTCPU= mmm:ss.hs
identifies the virtual processor time consumed in the current session in minutes,
seconds, and hundredths of seconds. The maximum value for this field is
999:59.99. A time value larger than the maximum will be indicated by this value.
TOTCPU= mmm:ss.hs
identifies the total processor time (virtual and overhead) consumed in the
