Description

The SET PERFMETER command controls the display of a performance meter. The performance meter charts your progress through commands that would normally count on the screen. When PERFMETER is set ON, a box is displayed on the screen containing information on which command is executing and what percentage of the operation is complete.

The optional AT <expN> qualifier repositions the PERFMETER to the row specified by <expN>.

The performance meter displays for the following commands:

• AVERAGE
• COMPILE
• COPY
• COUNT
• DO (SET COMPILE ON automatic compilation)
• INDEX
• PACK
• REINDEX
• SUM
• TOTAL
