Introduction › Producing CA IDMS Reports › REPORT= Parameter

REPORT= Parameter

REPORT= is a required parameter for D-, C-, A-, and JREPORTs. The following considerations apply:

• One or more reports of the same type can be specified in a single run.
• When a run specifies one or more D- or CREPORTs, each report must contain PATH parameters that begin with the same database record. A PATH parameter defines a route through the dictionary; The Sequential Parameter Listing above shows a sample PATH parameter.

Parameters

D

Identifies a dictionary or catalog report. D is the default. If coded, D must be in column 1.

C

Identifies a DC/UCF system report. C must be coded in column 1.

A

Identifies a CA ADS dialog report. A must be coded in column 1.

J

Identifies a journal report. J must be coded in column 1.

REPORT=

Is a keyword that must appear in columns 2 through 8. REPORT= automatically generates an INPUT parameter for A-, C-, and DREPORTs; the INPUT parameter defines the size of the CA Culprit for CA IDMS input buffer and subschema to be accessed. REPORT= also automatically generates REC parameters, which define the fields referenced in the report modules. The Input Parameter Listing above shows sample REC parameters.

report-number

Identifies one or more three-digit report-module numbers in the range 000 through 999. Leading zeros can be omitted. Report module numbers must be separated by spaces or commas.
