Data Extraction by Page Fields

The following table lists and describes the fields that are used to extract data from the pages of the SYSOUT or report for which you are creating the logical view:

Pages to Exclude

Specifies the number of pages you want to exclude from the beginning of the SYSOUT

This is useful for excluding JCL listings from the logical view you are creating. This option does not delete the pages from the SYSOUT, only from the view.

Records to Exclude

Specifies the number of records you want to exclude from the beginning of each page of the view you are creating.

This can include heading records that you are replacing with your own custom headings. The records are not deleted from the SYSOUT, only from the view.

Note: This option specifies the number of records, not necessarily the number of lines. Carriage control is not taken into account.

Records to Display

Specifies the number of records to display on each page of the logical view.

This is useful if you want to exclude footer records from the logical view you are creating. Records that you have excluded from the beginning of the page with the RECORDS TO EXCLUDE option are not to be included in this number.

Note: This is the number of records, not the number of lines. Carriage control is not taken into account.
