Using the CICS PA commands

The CICS PA commands are used to request reports and extracts. If you use the CICS PA dialog to build and submit Report Sets, the commands are generated automatically, but you do have the opportunity to edit them before job submission.

The commands are specified in the SYSIN DD statement of your CICS PA batch JCL. There are three ways to include the commands in your job stream:
  1. You can code the commands directly under //SYSIN DD *
  2. You can precode the commands and store them in a member of a PDS which is then referenced in your JCL using
    //SYSIN DD DSN=pdsname(member),DISP=SHR
  3. You can precode commands and store them for future use in the CICS PA command library referenced by the CMDLIB DD statement in your JCL. The precoded commands can then be included in your job stream using the COPY or INCLUDE instruction under //SYSIN DD * (for further information see COPY instruction)

See JCL for reports and extracts for a description and examples of the JCL for producing CICS PA reports and extracts.
