3.1.2.1.3 Selecting the Database File Cycles (CYCLES)

The CA MICS database file cycles from which the
postprocessor reports are to be generated are selected by
means of a SAS global variable assignment statement.  The
statement is required,  and must be present after the
//CONTROL DD * statement in the report JCL.  The format of
the statement is:

%LET CYCLES = c1 c2 ...  cn;

Multiple cycles must be delimited by blanks.  Any cycle value
less than ten requires the presence of a leading zero.

No check is made to verify that the cycles specified are
actually present in the CA MICS database.  However, the
first cycle specified is used during the report setup phase
to identify the HARCPU file (in the timespan identified by
the %LET TSPAN = control statement) to be read in order to
determine the environment of each SYSID.  If this cycle is
not present, the report run is aborted.


Example:  %LET CYCLES = 03 02 01;
