Why do you think it shoul take 10 seconds?

1st I would check the size of the ACCOUNTNG.DAT file, perhaps you have one since years and it has grown considerably big and is heavily fragmented. We recreate the accouting file on a weekly basis (and store them away) so reports are quite fast.

Beside that, maybe the disk on which the file is located (normally SYS$MANAGER, but may be relocated, see logical name ACCOUNTNG), is under heavy load also.

Dipali,

whenever you execute any command and you are waiting for it to complete and wonder, what your process/image is doing, consider to type CTRL-T

This should print a line like this:

node::HALLE 12:10:04 ACC CPU=00:00:00.81 PF=701 IO=300 MEM=134

nodename::username current-time current-image

followed by performance-related statistics:

CPU-time-consumed pagefault-count IO-count working-set-size

Then type CTRL_T again and note the differences in the performance counters. Subtract ONE IO for the output CTRL-T itself. The remaining differences of counter values indicate, whether your process has consumed CPU time, IOs or pagefaults.

If you press CTRL-T and nothing prints, check whether SET TERM/BROADCAST has been set, whether the DCL broadcast class is enabled ($ SHOW BROADCAST) and consider to enable CTRL-T ($ SET CONT=T). If still nothing prints when you type CTRL_T, your system may be hung !

Hi Dipali,
from your Forum Profile:


I have assigned points to 7 of 23 responses to my questions.


Maybe you can find some time to do some assigning?

Mind, I do NOT say you necessarily need to give lots of points. It is fully up to _YOU_ to decide how many. If you consider an answer is not deserving any points, you can also assign 0 ( = zero ) points, and then that answer will no longer be counted as unassigned.
Consider, that every poster took at least the trouble of posting for you!

To easily find your streams with unassigned points, click your own name somewhere.
This will bring up your profile.
Near the bottom of that page, under the caption "My Question(s)" you will find "questions or topics with unassigned points " Clicking that will give all, and only, your questions that still have unassigned postings.

Thanks on behalf of your Forum colleagues.

PS. nothing personal in this. I try to post it to everyone with this kind of assignment ratio in this forum. If you have received a posting like this before please do not take offence none is intended!

As Kalle implies, the problem is likely that the system management (procedures) failed to occasionally (daily? weekly? Monthly) renew the account file.

CHeck out: HELP SET ACCOUNT /NEW_FILE

(ps... also check out the PURGE command :-).
