SQL 2008R2 DBCC MEMORYSTATUS empty results for values Target Committed ???

Question

Im following this interesting article on looking at various queries to gather information on system load
https://www.simple-talk.com/sql/database-administration/why-is-that-sql-server-instance-under-stress/
The query that looks at DBCC MEMORYSTATUS for 'Target Committed' and 'Current Committed', but no results are returned.  Loolking at just the raw output from DBCC MEMORYSTATUS, I dont see those metrics in any of the result sets returned.  
This is the query (credit goes to author of article linked above)
DECLARE @MemStat TABLE
(ValueName SYSNAME,
Val BIGINT
INSERT INTO @MemStat
EXEC ('DBCC MEMORYSTATUS() WITH TABLERESULTS'
WITH Measures
AS (SELECT TOP 2
CurrentValue,
ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY OrderColumn) AS RowOrder
FROM (SELECT CASE WHEN (ms.ValueName = 'Target Committed')
THEN ms.Val
WHEN (ms.ValueName = 'Current Committed')
THEN ms.Val
END AS 'CurrentValue',
0 AS 'OrderColumn'
FROM @MemStat AS ms
) AS MemStatus
WHERE CurrentValue IS NOT NULL
SELECT TargetMem.CurrentValue - CurrentMem.CurrentValue
FROM Measures AS TargetMem
JOIN Measures AS CurrentMem
ON TargetMem.RowOrder + 1 = CurrentMem.RowOrder;

Hi,
You are correct there is no Memory object like Target Committed and Current Committed in SQL server 2008 SP3 and SQL server 2008 R2 SP1( at least in my case) .I guess this must be for specific version which Grant missed to point out. But query does
not seems corretc to me as it is not working for all editions.
More over he mentioned that if Target server memory is greater than total server memory this is memory pressure. This is always not correct I have seen situation where this was case and I am sure there was no memory pressure. I guess he must be talking in
General term. Generally Target and total server memory values or equal on stable system sometimes due to bad query Target can go high but that is not exactly the memory pressure. If you see contantly that target is greater than total this can be memory pressure
but you should also consider looking at Buffer cache hit ratio,page life expactany,free pages,checkpoint pages
I will check further on 2012
