 4  DB2 Settings 

This menu allows you to customize your CICS PA user profile. Defaults are set initially so you can start using CICS PA, but you can change these at any time to suit the particular way you want to interact with the CICS PA dialog. Typically you would set the profile options just once.

The menu items are:
CICS PA Settings
Customize some aspects of the CICS PA dialog and the job card it uses when generating Report Set JCL.
Reporting Allocation Settings
Specify the allocation attributes of data sets that might need to be created during Report Set processing. The CICS PA dialog uses these when generating the Report Set JCL.
CICS PA Control Data Sets
Specify the data set names where CICS PA stores Report Sets, Report Forms, Object Lists, and the HDB Register.
DB2® Settings
Specify settings for exporting data from historical databases (HDBs) to DB2. For details, see Creating DDL to define a DB2 table.
