REC parameters define input field characteristics, such as field length, field position, and data type. Only those input fields used during processing must appear on REC parameters; other fields in the input record can be omitted. Once defined in a CA Culprit job, an input field is available to all reports in the run.
REC parameters are automatically generated for files defined to IDD (identified by an INPUT parameter that specifies the keyword expression, FN=file-name). A REC parameter is generated for each field referenced by other CA Culprit parameters unless the user codes a work field or REC parameter for the field.
Input Fields
An input record may contain the following types of input fields:
Floating Groups
Any field that follows a multiply-occurring field that repeats a variable number of times is called a floating group; the floating group field can be a singly-occurring input field or a multiply-occurring field that repeats a fixed or variable number of times. The location of a floating group in the input buffer must be defined through the location of preceding groups.
Syntax for the REC parameter is shown on the following page.
