USESTAT Command

Function

     The USESTAT command (CTRL/T)  returns  status  information  about
     your  job.   If  your  job is currently doing I/O to a file, then
     CTRL/T will disclose that status, unless the job is execute-only.
     The information printed includes:

      o  incremental daytime in seconds

      o  incremental run time in seconds

      o  incremental disk reads

      o  incremental disk writes

      o  program name

      o  core size

      o  job state

      o  current context

      o  program counter (PC)

     See  the  help  file  CTRLT  for  a  description  of  the  status
     information  returned  as  a  result  of  the USESTAT command (or
     CTRL/T).

     The results  obtained  from  the  USESTAT  command  can  also  be
     obtained  by typing CTRL/T.  CTRL/T can be typed at user level as
     well as at monitor level.
