The IMS Interface translated data is in a format that the Wizard Report Writer recognizes as a level-7 summary record. The IMS Interface summary record exists only to enable the Wizard Report Writer to generate IMS Interface reports by using the same powerful reporting capabilities as the Job Accounting Report System batch reporting.

There are three main reporting functions:

Because each of these functions treats IMS data in a manner related to the function (such as displaying data elements deals with an external data element format), the IMS Interface summary record is shown in three ways in this directory: the physical summary record format, a Basic Accounting Table, and an Output Data Elements Table.
