The CICS PA dialog automatically generates the JCL and batch commands to produce requested reports and extracts within a Report Set using specified SMF input files. The JCL can be directly submitted, or edited before submitting.
You can save the JCL in an external library to edit and submit independently of the CICS PA dialog. Alternatively, you can set up the JCL independently of the dialog, but this bypasses the comprehensive validation provided by the dialog.
