Requesting a List report

A Report Set defines a selection of reports and extracts with specified options that can be run against a single pass of the data. You can define as many Report Sets as you want.

To build report requests, the steps are:
  1. Select option 2 Report Sets from the Primary Option Menu. You are prompted to create the Report Sets data set where CICS PA will save your report requests.

    Press Enter to create the Report Sets data set with default attributes. (Otherwise, cancel and go to option 0.3 from the Primary Option Menu to specify the data set name of your choice.)

  2. The initial Report Sets list is empty. Use the NEW command to create your first Report Set.

  3. You can now start editing your Report Set. We set the Report Set description to Demonstration Report Set so that we can easily identify the Report Set.

    The list of available reports is displayed in a tree structure (folder style) where the reports are grouped by category. This is similar to the way in which some PC tools display folders and their contents. The categories can be expanded (to show) or collapsed (to hide) the reports contained within them. Use your mouse as a lightpen or enter line action S to expand or collapse the categories and select reports within them.

    Tip: If you define more than one report of the same type, such as two List reports, specify a different Output DDname for each report to avoid multiple report outputs being interleaved.

    When you have finished defining the reports, exit to return to the Report Set menu tree.

  8. To save the Report Set updates, enter the SAVE command, or exit to save changes and return to the Report Sets list.

Having completed your report specifications, you can now run them to produce the reports.
