It is possible to update your SCDS and not activate it. The result is the SCDS is different from the ACDS but the display does not indicate this inconsistency. If you don't use 'ACTIVE' in ISMF, you don't know what SMS is currently set to. -Original Message- From: George Rodriguez

Why do you care about the fetch counts. I would take another approach. Use the SMF type 30 records to determine the jobs that use the most CPU and then see what steps within the job are using the most and tackle their tuning. You can also look at the step termination records as you mentioned
