Count number of calls of csects/subroutine/entry point - No 2

It's important to know how often a csect / subroutine / entry point is called so that you can differenciate if you spend a long time in a single csect / subroutine / entry point or visited several times.

We want to know the number of calls of a specific routine not only CPU usage over all.

And: DON'T set the status immediately to "delivered" like in RFE number 41221 !!!! That isn't true!
If you have questions to that rfe leave a comment or send a mail or call me.

    APA is not a tracing tool.   Since APA is a sampling product, not a tracing product, it does not intercept, record and report calls to specific csects, subroutines and entry points. The C reports display the percentage of time spent in these routines based on the number of samples taken throughout the measurement

    We have a self-programmed solution for this, but only for PL/I and Fetchable entries.
    But it is interesting generally in the Debug Tool.
