Report and extract options

Options that apply to both the Cross-System Work report and extract are:
OUTPUT
Controls the report output DDname. See OUTPUT for further information. If not specified, CICS PA assigns a DDname in the format xxxxnnnn where nnnn is the report sequence number 0001-9999 to uniquely identify the output, and xxxx is:
  • CROS for the Cross-System Work report
  • CROX for the Recap report for the Cross-System Work extract
EXTERNAL
Specifies the DDname for the work data set used by the external SORT facility. If not specified, CICS PA assigns an External Work File from a pool of External Work Files with DDnames in the format CPAXWnnn where nnn is the sequence number 001-999. See EXTERNAL for further information.
SELECT(PERFORMANCE(INCLUDE|EXCLUDE
Specifies what data to include or exclude from the report or extract based on data field values. See Using SELECT statements for an explanation and examples.

If used in conjunction with SELUOW, it does not impact reporting but rather is a first-level pre-sort filter. The purpose of SELECT in this case is to exclude the records that you know are of no interest and thereby reduce the volume of records to be sorted for reporting. It is suitable, for example, for time range checking and selecting all possible transaction IDs of interest.

SELUOW(PERFORMANCE(INCLUDE|EXCLUDE
Specifies what units-of-work to include or exclude from the report or extract based on data field values. If one task in a multi-task UOW matches the selection criteria, then all tasks for that UOW are selected.

It can be used in conjunction with SELECT to first filter out those tasks that you know are of no interest and thereby optimize the record sort process.

See CROSSsystem examples for an example using SELECT and SELUOW.
