3.1.2.1.2 Selecting the Database Timespan (TSPAN)

The CA MICS database timespan from which the postprocessor
reports are to be generated is selected by means of a SAS
global variable assignment statement.  It is required and is
provided after the //CONTROL DD   * statement in the report
JCL.  The following statement shows the format of a SAS
global variable assignment statement.

%LET TSPAN = timespan;

Following are the valid timespans:

o  DETAIL
o  DAYS
o  WEEKS
o  MONTHS
o  YEARS

The specification of an invalid timespan will result in a
control statement error, and the report run will be aborted.
Note that the YEARS timespan is not normally active for the
Hardware and SCP Analyzer.


Example:  %LET TSPAN = DAYS;
