Slightly Random Question...

[shandy]

Hi,

I am working through some statspack sql scripts for reasons I wont go into now and was wondering if someone could explain exactly what the following two lines of code mean ??? (If you could explain exactly what each statement means and does I would be v grateful...

npmpt := DLMDIF('ges msgs process time(ms)');
dbfr := SYSDIF('DBWR fusion writes');

Thanks in advance...

DLMDIF and SYSDIF are functions. My guess is they are getting the difference for the specified event from one snapshot until the next. You can look at the code and it will tell you exactly what is going on.
