  2. Enter the suffix of the report you want to select, such as CL.
    cl (press enter)
    
  3. Specify the format of the SYSPRINT file (PRINT or TERM), as follows. This prompt does not apply to the IX report that sends the output to two special files.

    Report to printer, terminal, or disk? Specify which.

    Print/term/disk

  4. Enter SMF input files individually or in groups, separated by a LINEND character (usually #). CA ACF2 for z/VM repeats this prompt until you enter a null line, END, or QUIT.

    Enter SMF filetype

    yydddsss (press enter)

    The values for yydddsss are:

    yy

    The year.

    ddd

    The Julian day.

    sss

    The sequence number of the SMF file.

  5. If you predefined the SYSIN file before you enter the ACFRPTS EXEC, execution begins immediately. If you did not define the SYSIN file, CA ACF2 for z/VM displays a messages telling you the file is not defined. See Common Files for additional information about the SYSIN file.
  6. ACFRPTS displays the report suffix and a question mark to prompt you for the report parameters. For example, for the CL report:

    CL?

    mask(dsn-mask) (press enter)

    CL?

    logging, vio, trace (press enter)

    You can enter parameters one per line or as many as fit on the line. CA ACF2 for z/VM repeats prompts until you enter a null line. If you do not specify a parameter, CA ACF2 for z/VM uses the default. To find the parameters valid for each report, see the appropriate chapter in this guide.

  7. When you have entered all parameters, use a null line to end parameter selection.

    CL?

    (press enter)

    If you route the report to the printer or disk, CA ACF2 for z/VM returns the ready message and displays the report generator screen. Enter the following command to exit, or enter a report suffix to select another report:

    END
    

    If you route the report to the terminal, CA ACF2 for z/VM displays the report on the screen. When you are done reviewing the information, CA ACF2 for z/VM displays the report generator screen. Enter the following command to exit, or enter a report suffix to select another report:

    END
