Library Maintenance

Library Maintenance commands direct processing when maintenance is performed on the Reporting Facility call library. You cannot perform Library Maintenance in conjunction with report generation or output file creation. The invocation of Library Maintenance mode using the run control options area dedicates the entire run to performing library functions. The Library Maintenance commands are:

CONDENSE

Initiates reorganization of the Reporting Facility call library

CREATE

Initiates the preformatting procedures of the physical library extent prior to any use of the library

DELETE

Deletes a specific member from the library

DISPLAY

Displays specified contents of the library, including indexes or specific members

LIBRARY

Instructs the Reporting Facility to enter the Library Maintenance mode

LOAD

Identifies a specific member to be placed in the library for later retrieval

The remainder of this chapter discusses the seven functional areas in more detail.
