Defining Stacked Reports That Contain Exclusive Segments › What Is Report Identification Text?

What Is Report Identification Text?

Report identification text is a unique string of text that is used to determine whether a page in SYSOUT is the beginning, end, or part of a segment. Report identification text is comprised of the letters A–Z, digits 0–9, national characters ($, #, @), and any other keyboard characters.

Report identification text identifies the exclusive or overlapping segments that CA Deliver is to select from SYSOUT. These segments are then output to a stacked report.

Following are some examples of report identification text:

• A unique title or heading (partial or whole), such as VENDOR or SUMMARY, that appears on the first line of the first page of each segment in a data set
• Descriptive information, such as 01 or 02, that appears in the same location on each page of each segment in a data set

Note: If the initialization parameter TEXT is set to TEXT=ASIS in your installation and you want to specify a case-sensitive string for report identification text on a panel, you must enclose the text in single quotation marks.
