DISPLAY Parameter

The DISPLAY parameter specifies the criteria by which the before and after images of database records are selected from the Archive Journal file. For the archive records meeting the selection criteria, display records are created and passed to the DISPLAY phase for printing. It is possible to define multiple selection criteria for a particular display type by submitting multiple DISPLAY parameters for that display type.

Note: Up to twenty system output requests (REPORT and/or DISPLAY parameters) can be specified per program run. Additionally, up to twenty requests for Management Ranking reports (REPORT=RANK) can be specified.

The DISPLAY parameter contains keywords common to all display types and some which are specific to a display type. The common DISPLAY keywords are described first, followed by the specific display type keywords.

The DISPLAY parameter syntax is as follows.

DISPLAY = display type ,ALL = Y

,START = start date/time

,STOP = stop date/time

where:

DISPLAY = display type

specifies the Journal Display type to be printed. The values for display type are described with the specific keywords for a particular display (see specific display types in this section).

,ALL = Y

indicates whether all display records for a particular display type are to be included in the production of the Journal Display.

Y - causes start/stop to be ignored, and all display records to be processed.

,START = start date/time

defines the start of a selection time period for a single DISPLAY request. If this keyword is omitted, the assumed value is 0701810000. This keyword is mutually exclusive from the ALL keyword for PROGRAM displays.

start date/time - this value must be specified in the MMDDYYHHMM format, where MMDDYY is the Gregorian date and HHMM is the time (24 hr. clock).

Note: Run units are associated with their initiation time (BGIN) and not their termination time (ENDJ, ABRT).

STOP = stop date/time

defines the end of a selection time period for a single DISPLAY request. If this keyword is omitted, the assumed value is 1231992359. This keyword is mutually exclusive from the ALL keyword for PROGRAM displays.

stop date/time - this value must be specified in the MMDDYYHHMM format, where MMDDYY is the Gregorian date and HHMM is the time (24 hr. clock).

Note: During DISPLAY processing, the data dictionary is navigated to determine the characteristics of the data records to be displayed. This information is obtained by relating schemas with their associated schema records. Only the highest version schema number for any given schema is processed. Therefore, you must ensure that the definitions in the highest version schema number for a given schema match the data contained in the actual archive journal records.
