This topic contains information about the reports produced
by CICS® VR PRINT.
CICS VR provides
support for printing records from logstreams used for undo logs, forward
recovery logs, and replication logs. The same logstream can be used
as a forward recovery log and a replication log, but the undo log
is separate. A replication log contains undo replication records and
redo replication records. If the same logstream is shared as a forward
recovery log as well, then each redo record is marked as both a forward
recovery record and a replication record. 
For each block to be printed, the report consists of:
- The block header record
- Detail for each record in the block, with information about specific
fields in the record. This detail includes
log type
(replication or none),
record type, file information, and key
type, where it can be determined.
- The entire record in hex format.
- A summary record.
Note: If the record type is not recognized, only the hex dump
is printed.
Record types
Where the record type is recognized,
two parts are provided for the description. If the first part is one
of:
- CICS autojournalled redo

- CICS forward recovery redo

Then the second part of the description can be one of:
- file close record

- read update record
- tie up record
- write add record
- write add complete
- write delete record
- write update record
If the first part of the record type description is:

Then the second part of the description can be one of:
- End of job step
- Get-for-Update/Erase

Examples of a record type description are: CICS

File information
File information such as
the file ID, filename, and filetype is provided in the report if the
information is present in the record or if the information can be
extracted from an earlier tieup record.
Key line
The key line value can be KEY,
XRBA, RBA, or RRN. Subsequent information is displayed in the same
format as the record with a hex dump and then character data.
