Rules for Defining Overlapping Segments for Stacked Reports

You can use one or more non-contiguous segments of a SYSOUT data set in a stacked report.

You can use one or more of the same segments in any of the stacked reports.

The smallest segment you can specify is a single page of a SYSOUT data set; the largest segment you can specify is the entire SYSOUT data set.

You must identify a beginning and an end text string for each overlapping segment in a SYSOUT data set.

If a beginning and an end text string are identical, use a page segment (PAG) type.

This illustration shows you how to select the data for region 01 on pages 01 to 04 of the SYSOUT data set. This data is represented by the report in the first illustration in this chapter.

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

If a beginning and an end text string are not identical, you must use a pair of beginning and end segment types (BEG and END).

This illustration shows you how to select the data for regions 01 and 02 on pages 01 to 08 of the SYSOUT data set represented by the original report.

If you specify a beginning segment type (BEG) without specifying an end segment type (END), the remainder of a SYSOUT data set—starting from the beginning text string you specify—is selected.

This illustration shows you how to select the data for region 03 to the end of the SYSOUT data set (pages 09 through 13) represented by the original report.

To select one set of contiguous pages (a segment), specify N (NO) under Reus.

Note that only the first segment that matches the report identification text criteria you specify is selected. N is the default for the Reus field; if you leave it blank and press Enter, N is inserted by default.

This illustration shows you that by entering the information shown, you select page 04 of the data set represented by the original report, even though pages 08, 11, and 13 contain text strings that match the text string you specify.

To select all segments in a data set that match the report identification text criteria you specify, enter Y (YES) under Reus.

Note: Specify Y only for the beginning or page segment types; not for related END, AND, or OR types.

This illustration shows you how enter the information required to select the single pages 04, 08, 11, and 13 of the data set represented by the original report.

If you use a logical AND operator, all conditions specified must be true for a page to be selected (you can use more than one logical AND operator at a time).

This illustration shows you how to use the Report Identification Text subpanel to select page 08 of the SYSOUT data set represented by the original report.

If you use a logical OR operator, only one condition must be true for the page to be selected. (You can use more than one logical OR operator at a time.)

These two illustrations show you how you can enter different information and can still select the same pages in a SYSOUT data set.

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

This illustration shows you how to enter information on the Report Identification Text subpanel to specify that the system is to select one of the following:

A single segment that begins with a page that contains the text string SUMMARY and 03,

A page that contains the text string SUMMARY and 01.

CA Deliver ------------- Report Definition Attributes ------ Row 00001 of 00010 Command ===> Scroll ===> PAGE ID ---> U90526-R01 Job ---> U90526 Step ---> SALESTEP Procstep ---> DD ---> REPORTS Type ---> STACK Report Identification Text: Line Column Sel Typ R Op Beg End Beg End Text Cols 001 046 PAG N EQ 1 44 SUMMARY AND N EQ 2 8 03 OR N EQ 1 44 SUMMARY AND N EQ 2 8 01 ******************************* Bottom of Data ********************************

The page that contains SUMMARY and 01 comes first in the data set, therefore, the data—starting from the page that contains the text strings SUMMARY and 01 and ending at the end of the SYSOUT data set—is selected.
