How to Identify a Dynamic Report

Enter DYNAM as the value in the Type field to identify a report as dynamic. A dynamic report is defined using a fixed report definition name. The distribution specifications for the dynamic report identify the report and distribution names to be assigned to the page data.

Example

In the following example, TRJOB02-D01 and TRJOB02-D02 are fixed names for a dynamic report.

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

Dynamic reports are similar to stacked reports. Multiple dynamic reports can be defined to a job. The DD statement, the JCL attribute overrides, report identification text, special instructions, and bundle specifications are the same.

However, the distribution specifications for a dynamic report are different. These specifications identify key information on a report page. They also help you to form a dynamic report, distribution name, or both for the page data. The report pages are distributed and printed under the dynamically generated report and distribution name. Archival copies are created for each uniquely generated report name.
