I had already typed the solution,
but the ADSL connection suddenly dropped!
here it is again ...
there is a misleading glitch in the docs
in the isffilter paragraph it tells that a way of finding the column <names> is
from the interactive panel enter the command FILTER ?
and in the popup panel enter a / in the first line to get a list of the column <names>
there is a big difference unfortunately,
the interactive panels filter on the column TITLES
the
SDSF REXX interface filters on the column names
You have two ways of finding out ...
read the manual here

I usually prefer to find out from the executing program,
too often I have been burned by enhancement PTFs which changed something without referring to the updated docs
in the whole mess I forgot to tell that the column name for the CPU% id CPUPR
