3.1.1 Setting Report Options

The standard analysis reports produced by the CA MICS IDMS
Analyzer are generalized, allowing you to specify options
that customize the reports to your installation's individual
needs.

The CA MICS System Administrator specifies selection options
in prefix.MICS.PARMS(IDMRPTS).  These selection options
include the time-span and cycle of data included in the
report, sequencing data, summarization elements used, and, if
specific CA MICS database observations are being included,
the criteria for choosing the observations (e.g., specific
SYSIDs, dates, times, zones, etc.).

When DYIDMMBO starts executing, the IDMRPTS member is read
and its contents are analyzed.  The routine IRST creates SAS
macros to select, sort, and summarize data from the IDMS User
Activity File (IDMSUA).  These macros are stored in the
IDMRPTP and IDMBYLS members of prefix.MICS.USER.SOURCE and
are used in the report generation process to customize the
standard analysis reports.

The following sections describe the specific capabilities and
syntax of the selection criteria:
