REPORT Parameter

The REPORT parameter identifies a report design held in a CA 2E report design file. Report names must always be valid system names, that is, be up to ten characters long, begin with a letter, (or @ or #), and contain no embedded blanks. Report names must be unique within a member.

In many commands a special value of *SELECT is allowed for the report name: specifying this value will give you a selection display of available report designs.

Report design files must have a specific format (in fact the report design file is a logical file spanning three different physical files). The command Create Design File command (YCRTDSNF) should be used to create any additional copies of the report file that you require; it creates a file of the correct format, as well as the necessary logical views.
