Program Summary (PD_PGM)

Function

The Program Summary (PD_PGM) record stores the performance data in which the data stored in the Process Detail (PD) record is summarized as the state for each program at a given point in time. A record is created for each program that is being executed. This is a multi-instance record. Note that even when the Process Detail (PD) record is not collected, performance data is stored in the Program Summary (PD_PGM) record.
