OUTFMT

The OUTFMT option is a batch-only option that requests CA JCLCheck to produce reports in alternative formats.

This option has the following format:

OUTfmt(Csv,Pdf)|NOOUTfmt

Default: NOOUTfmt

OUTfmt

Requests a report be generated in an alternative format. When specified, Csv and/or Pdf must also be specified.

Csv

Indicates a report will be generated in the comma separated values (CSV) format.

Pdf

Indicates a report will be generated in portable document format (PDF).

When OUTFMT is specified in a batch execution of CA JCLCheck, the primary report file must be a DASD-resident file. After the primary report file is written and closed, CA JCLCheck creates a CSV and/or PDF format file from the primary report file so that you can do further processing and analysis of the reports on personal workstations.

Note: The primary report file is usually SYSPRINT, but you can modify this using the LIST option. For more information, see Using Alternative Report Formats in the Programming Guide.

The use of this option requires additional JCL statements.

Example: Create a PDF from the primary report file
