You can use the RUNTIMESTATISTICS attribute either with or without statistics timing. RunTimeStatisticsusing To use the RUNTIMESTATISTICS attribute in ij, turn RUNTIMESTATISTICS on and off using the SYSCS_UTIL.SYSCS_SET_RUNTIMESTATISTICS() system procedure (see the for more information): -- turn on RUNTIMESTATISTICS for connection: CALL SYSCS_UTIL.SYSCS_SET_RUNTIMESTATISTICS(1); -- execute complex query here -- step through the result set -- access runtime statistics information: VALUES SYSCS_UTIL.SYSCS_GET_RUNTIMESTATISTICS(); CALL SYSCS_UTIL.SYSCS_SET_RUNTIMESTATISTICS(0); Turn on statistics timing using the SYSCS_UTIL.SYSCS_SET_STATISTICS_TIMING system procedure (see the for more information). If you do not turn on statistics timing, you will see the statement execution plan only, and not the timing information. CALL SYSCS_UTIL.SYSCS_SET_RUNTIMESTATISTICS(1); CALL SYSCS_UTIL.SYSCS_SET_STATISTICS_TIMING(1); Although the syntax is different, the basic steps for working with RUNTIMESTATISTICS are the same in a Java program. If you are working in ij, set the display width to 5000 or another high number: MaximumDisplayWidth 5000
