Producing CA IDMS Reports

Reports Execute as Batch Jobs

CA IDMS reports run as batch jobs in either local mode or under the central version. The job control statements required for z/OS, z/VSE, z/VM and z/VM/z/VSE operating systems appear in Appendices A through D, respectively.

User-Supplied Input Parameters

Five user-supplied parameters control report execution:

• DATABASE
• PARAM=
• REPORT=
• KEY
• SELECT/BYPASS

Each of these five parameter types is discussed below, followed by examples. Report-specific considerations are described in the appropriate sections.
