I understand how to use and how to read the additional options that fullstimer prints to the log but I do not know what to do with the information.  Can anyone give me a practical example of what I would do with the additional information provided?

Thank You,

Mark

The practical example is dependent of seeing more ways solving a problem or having options available for tuning.

Only seeing it as informational for a single appraoch of some problem is the limited view.

You may want to have a look at this SGF paper A Practical Approach To Solving Performance Problems with SAS®

On page 5 it has a section titled "FULLSTIMER Statistics Definition and Interpretation".

Hope this helps,

Mark,

In addition to the great advice you got from Japp and Ahmed, check out my oldie-but-goodie paper: 

Programmatically Measure SAS Application Performance on Any Computer Platform with the New LOGPARSE ...

It provides a lot of information on what you can do with the metrics surfaced via FULLSTIMER.

Best of luck in all your SAS endeavors!
