Rules for Defining Exclusive Segments in Stacked Reports

These rules apply when you define exclusive segments in stacked reports:

• You can use one or more non-contiguous segments of a SYSOUT data set in a stacked report.
• The smallest segment you can specify is a single page of a SYSOUT data set; the largest segment you can specify is an entire SYSOUT data set.
• You must identify a beginning text string for each exclusive segment in a SYSOUT data set.

  The beginning of one segment marks the end of the previous segment.

• The exclusive segment text condition starts an exclusive segment that continues until another exclusive segment condition is encountered.
• To select one set of contiguous pages (a segment), enter N (No) under (R)eus.

  Notice that only the first segment that matches the report identification text criteria you specify is selected. N is the default for the (R)eus field; therefore if you leave it blank and press Enter, N is inserted by default.

  For example, this information selects the first group of contiguous pages starting with the page that contains the text FINANCIAL at line 1, column 32.

• To select all segments in a data set that matches the report identification text criteria that you specify, enter Y (Yes) under (R)eus.

  You must specify Y only for the beginning or page segment types; not for related END, AND, OR or AOR types.

  For example, entering this information selects an exclusive segment starting with the first page that contains the text FINANCIAL at line 1, column 32. Note that if the exclusive segment is terminated by another exclusive segment, the next page that contains the text FINANCIAL at line 1, column 32 will trigger the continuation of the segment with a non-continuous page.

If you use a logical AND operator, all conditions specified must be true for a page to be selected.

Note: You can use more than one logical AND operator at a time.

For example, enter the following information on the Report Identification Text subpanel to start an exclusive segment with the page that contains both the text SUMMARY on line 1, column 44 and the value 02 on line 2, column 8.

• If you use a logical OR operator, only one condition has to be true for the page to be selected

  Note: You can use more than one logical OR operator at a time. For example, the information entered on the next two panels selects the same pages in a SYSOUT data set.

• You can use the logical AND and the logical OR operators together.

  For example, enter the following information on the Report Identification Text subpanel to specify that the system is to start an exclusive segment when a page contains either of the following entries:

  • The text string SUMMARY and the value 03
  • The text string SUMMARY and the value 01

    OR  N EQ 1       44          SUMMARY
    AND N EQ 2       8           01





******************************* Bottom of Data ********************************

Because the page that contains SUMMARY and 01 comes first in the data set, the data is selected starting with the page that contains the text strings SUMMARY and 01.

Selection ends at either the end of the SYSOUT data set or when another exclusive segment occurs.
