As a report user you can create logical views to customize the way CA View displays SYSOUT and reports without modifying the physical data.
Logical viewing also provides a basic level of security, because the report user can restrict users to certain pre designated views.
Using logical views, you can do the following actions throughout a report and can improve online readability:
A logical view is the modified online display of a SYSOUT or report in CA View.
A logical view contains:
Optionally, a user can exclude specific columns, lines, or pages from the view. Users can also define columns for display and reorder columns on the display.
The following diagram describes how a report user creates a logical view using the view definition panel.
Follow these steps:
Access the View Definition Panel from the Primary Panel
To access the view definition panel and create a customized logical view, you must have master authority.
To access the administrative facilities of the product such as the user mode, private report viewing setup, device definition, and global view definition, you must have a user ID with the master authority. This authority can be set in one of two places:
Using the primary View Definition panel and its related panels, you can create a complete logical view definition. You can define global views pertaining to many reports only by accessing the view definition from the primary CA View panel.
Follow these steps:
Example:
Command ===> DEF VIEW
A list of all the defined public and global views is displayed from which you can either create a view or modify an existing view.
You can customize the way CA View displays SYSOUT and reports without modifying the physical data.
The different types of logical views include:
Users can create a private view for their own use if the user is defined to the system as a nonrestricted user. Nonrestricted means that the user has access to the native view (the view that is not secured). The Private views can only be created from the native view of a report.
When the user creates a global view, the user specifies a generic report ID in the definition using a trailing asterisk (for example, PAY*) to determine the reports that are included in the view.
Only users with master authority specified by the DEF USER specification can create global logical views.
Follow these steps:
where,
Signifies the ID of the view you are creating.
The View Definition panel is displayed where you can specify the new logical view criteria.
For example:
The following illustrations, show how the logical view is defined to produce a customized view:
This is the Initial View Definition screen:

This is the Initial Column Specification screen:

This is the Column Heading Specifications screen:
Note: The same specifications must be defined for all the four columns.

Native View:
The following illustration shows the top of the first page of data of a SYSOUT as displayed in the native view. Note the title and column heading records at the top of the data display area.

After you create a logical view, you can view the report to verify that the desired customized view is displayed.
Example:
The following illustration shows the SYSOUT in the native view after scrolling down one page.
Note: The title and column heading records previously displayed at the top of the first page have scrolled off the top of the page.

The following illustration shows the logical view of the same SYSOUT after the user has scrolled the display vertically.
Note: If you compare this illustration with the previous one the headings have not scrolled off the display and the data flows continuously below the headings without the interruption of page headings and footers. Also note how the headings have been modified and how the columns of data are defined and reordered.
