Manage metrics from the CSTATUS screen as numerical values in SYSVAPPS

Issue/Introduction

Attempting to handle the METRICS values from the SYSVIEW CSTATUS display within SYSVAPPS.

For example, consider setting an action when the CICS_SYS_TDataCIsUsed metric exceeds 90%.

This metric's value is displayed with a percentage symbol (%) on the SYSVIEW CSTATUS screen. This is likely a character string, not numeric data.
Therefore, while SYSVAPPS allows specifying ‘equal to’, it cannot specify ‘greater than’.
SYSVAPPS cannot use ‘=’ or ‘>=’.

Is it possible to receive or handle the VALUE of this metric as numeric data within SYSVAPPS?

Resolution

Currently, the values for each metric output by SYSVAPPS are character data rather than numerical data.

This occurs because SYSVAPPS receives not only numeric data from SYSVIEW,
but also certain percentages, sizes, and other values where the units are included as character data,
resulting in inconsistent formats.

Therefore, SYSVAPPS cannot receive or handle the metric VALUE as numeric data;
it must be handled on the SYSVIEW side.
