SUPPRESS Parameter

The SUPPRESS parameter is used to inhibit the automatic generation of extract records for a specific Journal Report type. A report cannot be produced if that report type has been suppressed. A SUPPRESS parameter is not required to suppress a Journal Display because the absence of a valid DISPLAY parameter effectively suppresses the production of the display.

Note: The use of the SUPPRESS parameter can influence the operational efficiency of CA IDMS Journal Analyzer, by reducing the volume of data written to the EXTRACT file. The SUPPRESS parameter syntax is as follows.

            / ACTIVITY           \
            │ PROGRAM            │
SUPPRESS =  < CHRONO-EVENT       >
            │ ABORT-COINCIDENCE  │
            │ MANAGEMENT         │
            │ ALL                │
            \ #n                 /

where:

SUPPRESS =

indicates the Journal Report type whose extract records are to be suppressed.

Note: The SUPPRESS parameter has no default value.

ALL - indicates that all Journal Report types will be suppressed.

The #n operand is used to suppress multiple journal report types.

#1 - suppresses all Journal Reports except MANAGEMENT.
#2 - suppresses all Journal Reports except PROGRAM and CHRONO-EVENT.
#3 or #4 - suppresses all Journal Reports except ACTIVITY, ABORT-COINCIDENCE, and MANAGEMENT.
#4 - suppresses all Journal Reports except ACTIVITY, DATABASE/RECORD, ABORT-COINCIDENCE, and MANAGEMENT.
