How to Use

Following is the syntax for the RXX Split File Analysis Report.

►►─ REPORT AREA=RXX ─┬───────────────────────────┬────────────────────────────►
                     └─ LOGPRINT= ─┬─ DETAIL ──┬─┘
                                   └─ DETAILX ─┘

                           ┌─ , ─────────────┐
 ►─┬─────────────────────┬─▼─┬─────────────┬─┴─┬─────────────┬────────────────►
   └─ BLOCK=blocknumber ─┘   └─ DBID=nnnn ─┘   └─ TABLE=ttt ─┘

 ►─┬──────────────────┬─┬─────────────────┬─┬───────────────────┬─────────────►◄
   └─ STARTAFT=nnnnn ─┘ └─ RECORDS=nnnnn ─┘ └─ URINUM=nnnnnnnn ─┘

Each of the following options can only be specified once, except for the DBID= option, that you can repeat.

Command

REPORT

Invokes the function to produce a report.

Required Keywords

AREA=RXX

Requests the Recovery File Analysis Report.

Optional Keywords

BLOCK=

Specify an eight-character hexadecimal number representing a data block within a data area. This option would normally be done as a request of CA Support.

DBID=

Use to specify a database ID. Use to specify a database ID. You can repeat this option. Each occurrence may specify one or more valid database IDs or a range of DBIDs nnnn-mmmm (a (a range, for example, such as 100-250).

LOGPRINT=

Choose either DETAIL or DETAILX.

LOGPRINT=DETAIL is optional, that is, specifying DETAIL gives the same results as leaving a LOGPRINT= specification off and using only REPORT AREA=RXX (the basic syntax without options). For an example report generated by the basic syntax, see LOGPRINT=DETAIL Example Split File Report.

LOGPRINT=DETAILX prints the entire record in hexadecimal. For an example report generated with LOGPRINT=DETAILX, see LOGPRINT=DETAILX Example Split File Report.

RECORDS=

Provides a count of log records that are acceptable after processing the number of log records specified in the STARTAFT= option. If the STARTAFT= option is not provided, STARTAFT=0 is assumed. Specifying both RECORDS= and STARTAFT= gives you the ability to print/dump portions of a Recovery File (RXX).

Note: The input is not read beyond the number of records to be selected.

STARTAFT=

Specify a count of log records before which all are rejected.

TABLE=

Specify a table name.

URINUM=

Provides an eight-character URI number.

This utility always reads one input file of one or more volumes. In z/OS, this can be multiple concatenated files that appear to CA Datacom/DB as one file. In z/VSE, the file must be on tape/cart and not DASD. If the input is not log data, unexpected results occur.
