This isn't a 'problem' per se, just an observation that someone else may be
able to shed some light on...

In SDSF, the DA panel presentation can be modified using the 'View' option.
For my logon id I have brought the column named 'Tran-Act' in to view, and
then sorted the display so that Tran-Act is in ascending sequence.

An excerpt for a current display is: (hoping this doesn't get
reformatted...)
 NP   JOBNAME  StepName ProcStep JobID      Tran-Act   CPU%   CPU-Time
      BUILD5   *OMVSEX           STC24665    0:00:00   0.34       0.01
      BUILD2   STEP1             STC23744    0:00:14  22.72       9.53
      OMVS     OMVS     OMVS                 5:35:02   0.21    1228.64
      BUILD9   *OMVSEX           STC23888   14:07:22   2.50    1458.22
      SSHD6    STEP1             STC23925   14:07:22   0.00       3.49
      IMS14J11 IMS14J11 JMPRGN   JOB23674   34:44:13   0.00       0.44
      IMS14F11 IMS14F11 IFP      JOB23671   34:44:21   0.00       0.01

At the bottom of this excerpt, there are two tasks associated with an IMS
region that was started shortly after the system was  IPL'd, nearly 35
hours ago. In the full display, there are a number of other tasks below
this that all have Tran-Act times that are roughly the same.

Above the IMS-related tasks, there are two tasks that have been running for
a bit over 14 hours.

The OMVS task above that has apparently been running for only five and half
hours or so, and that is the curiosity...

OMVS is started at IPL time, just like the IMS region in the example above,
and it is never terminated until we shut the system down again. (in the
shutdown sequence, it is the last thing to be terminated before JES can be
stopped).

So why isn't OMVS's "Tran-Act" time in the same ball park as the IMS tasks?
