Introduction › Reports

Reports

Some CA 1 utilities generate a flat file suitable for processing by CA Earl or a report writer. This allows reports to be generated in any desired sequence and to include any TMC field. Control statement specifications determine the contents and format of the report. The sample members provided in the source library can produce data set name lists, a volume serial master, scratch forecast lists, reports from Audit data set, and out-of-area lists.

The following reports are available:

Audit Data Set Reports (TMSAUDIT)

Selected Audit records are printed at your request. The following types of Audit records are available:

• Batch or online TMC update activity
• Tape input processing activity
• Tape output processing activity
• Exceptions (nonresident tape processing, password violations, record updates bypassed by user exits, and so forth)
• Tapes rejected for use by CA 1 (not scratch violations)
• TMC structural modification and CA 1 initialization information

Reports on one, all, or a combination of Audit record types can be produced. Sort sequence can be by data set name, volume serial, or Audit date/time. Audit reports can also be requested for specific volume serial numbers or a range of volume serial numbers to assist in researching tape activity.

CA Earl Interface (TMSEARL)

This program allows the selection of any variety of records for reporting. You can select the data to be printed and the output format, such as all tapes not read for input in the last six months or all single file tape volumes that have less than 100 blocks of data. Many sample members are provided in the source library.

Batch TMC Inquiry (TMSBINQ)

This program prints selected TMC records in the following optional formats:

SHORT

Only the most important fields

LONG

All fields

DUMP

A hexadecimal dump of all fields

Specification of records to be printed is by cataloged data set name, volume serial number, or range of volume serial numbers. DSNBs and TMC control records can also be printed.
