 ********************************* End of list *********************************
 
The Report Sets are listed with the following user-defined attributes:
Name
1-8 character name in ISPF member name format, used to uniquely identify the Report Set within the Report Sets data set. By default, the panel is sorted on the Name field.
Description
Free format text up to 32 characters that describes the contents and purpose of the Report Set.
Line Actions: The following line actions can be performed against a Report Set:
Display the menu of line actions.
E
Edit the Report Set.
S
Select the Report Set (same as Edit).
V
View the Report Set. This looks like the Edit panel but has no 'hold' on the data and has no Save capability, however SaveAs is available.
RUN
Run the Report Set. Only active reports and extracts within active categories are selected. The Run Report Set panel is displayed for you to enter required run-time options before submission. See Running Report Sets for more information. Alternative RUN commands are:
SUB
After your run-time options are validated, JCL is submitted directly for batch processing.
JCL
After your run-time options are validated, JCL is presented in an Edit session. You can alter the JCL before submission or save it in your JCL library.
D
Delete the Report Set.
R
Rename the Report Set.
Primary Commands: The following primary commands are available:
NEW name [MODEL dsn(modelname)]
This command creates a new Report Set. If all required parameters are specified, the Edit panel for the new Report Set is displayed. Otherwise, the New Report Set window is displayed to allow you to specify the name of the new Report Set and optionally the name of an existing Report Set to be used as a model. If the model is in the current Report Sets data set, specify just the name of the Report Set. If it is in another data set, specify both the name of the data set and the Report Set in the format datasetname(modelname).

Also available from File in the action bar.

See Creating new Report Sets for information on how to proceed.

SELECT name
This command (or S) selects the specified Report Set for editing. If the Report Set does not exist, it is created as if the NEW command was used.

Also available from File in the action bar.

SORT Name|Description|Changed|Id
This command sorts the list of Report Sets on one or two columns. The default sort field is Name. The sort disregards upper and lower case. The sort sequence is ascending for all except the Changed column which is descending. The sort order is retained only until Exit or another SORT command is issued.
LOCATE string
This command (or L or LOC) is used to locate an entry in the list based on the primary sort field. By default, LOCATE operates on the Name field. The string should be no longer than the primary sort field and not enclosed in quotes. The display will scroll to the entry which matches the string, or the entry preceding it if an exact match is not found.
CONFIRM ON|OFF
CONFIRM ON (or CONFIRM) instructs CICS PA to prompt for confirmation when you request to Delete a Report Set.

With CONFIRM OFF, Delete requests are actioned immediately. Deleted Report Sets cannot be reinstated.

This command changes the setting only for the current invocation of the Report Sets panel. On exit, it reverts to the default set by Delete Confirmation in CICS PA Settings.

Also available from Confirm in the action bar.
