Introduction › Producing CA IDMS Reports › PARAM= Parameter

PARAM= Parameter

PARAM= is an optional parameter that controls whether report module parameters appear in the two listings associated with report output:

• The Sequential Parameter Listing lists the parameters as they were coded.
• The Input Parameter Listing lists parameter default values and any parameters automatically generated for the report.

By consulting these listings, you can easily code selection criteria for the report and make modifications to the report.

Sample Sequential Parameter Listing:

Parameters

PARAM=

Must be coded starting in column 2. Any report module parameters that follow PARAM= are either printed or not printed according to the option specified. The parameter can appear more than once in a run.

LIST

Prints the parameters on both listings. LIST is the default for SREPORT runs.

NOLIST

Does not print the parameters on either listing, unless a parameter contains an error. Parameters in error are printed along with the associated error messages on both listings. NOLIST is the default for D-, C-, A-, I-, and JREPORT runs.

EJECT

Prints the parameters at the top of a new page in the Sequential Parameter Listing. EJECT does not affect the pagination of the Input Parameter Listing.
