Parameter Value: The parameter value corresponds to the section-
type that you specified when you set the PARAM. This entry will be either
DETAIL or NOPRINT. The reports that are marked with an asterisk (*) can
have a parameter value of either SUMMARY, DETAIL, or NOPRINT.
Summary Section
Choosing the summary option produces a table describing the distribution of programs
or process names within the class by count. In the case of the SYSTEM class, the
section describes the activity of process names, while for all other classes, the section
describes the activity of programs. GPA handles classes differently because all the
processes in the SYSTEM class are contained in the single object file, OSIMAGE. Not
breaking OSIMAGE into process names would provide little performance information to
you. Example 3-17 shows a sample summary section.

In the optional report for the SYSTEM class, the disk processes
are grouped and given the names “DISC-P,” “DISC-B,” or “DISC-
T,” depending on whether they are the primary, backup, or
temporary, respectively. Temporary disk processes are mountable
drives which currently have no volume mounted; primary and
backup disk processes are permanently mounted or mountable
drives with volumes mounted.
