For hardware key protected VTS-TSRs, since application programs will only have read access to the VTS, a special dataspace is acquired for the purpose of updating tableBASE statistics. Both tableBASE strobe and LT command processing will access this special area for these statistics. The run time option, STROBEMETHOD=3, specifies that this special area will be used for updating tableBASE statistics.
tableBASE strobe reports for any VTS using the setting of STROBEMETHOD=3 will be displayed by minute intervals instead of by call count.The number of minutes for this interval is specified using the STROBE run time option.
