Scroll Prev Top Next More

If you wish to collect statistical information on your Cobwebb Designs (PPD files) then first you need to make sure that this functionality has been enabled - see Collect PPD Statistics for details. Once this has been enabled you will then be able to display the statistical information by selecting Work with PPD Statistics (WRKPPDSTAT).  This can be found from the Cobwebb Main Menu - PPD File Maintenance - Option 11.

Notes:

The default for the command when you call it from the menu option is to display statistics for all (*ALL) PPD files. If you wish to call the command WRKPPDSTAT and press F4 then you can enter the name of a specific PPD file.

If you are not currently collecting PPD Statistics then you will see the following pop-up:
 
PPD Statistics not being collected
 
Press Enter and the Work with PPD Statistics dialog will be displayed but the statistics will not be current.

In the following example screen shot we have left the default of *ALL.
