3.1.2.1.6 Generating Reports & SAS Listing Options (RMFPP)


After the required control statements have been entered, the
report generation process is begun by means of a SAS MACRO.
The statement is required and must be present as the last
control statement following the //CONTROL DD *  statement in
the report JCL.  The format of the statement is:

   %RMFPP(options);

The options permitted are:

    o  CHECK=ON or CHECK=OFF

       CHECK=ON allows for syntax checking of control
       statements and the analysis of each SYSID's
       environment without actually producing reports.
       CHECK=OFF is the default.


    o  SOURCE=ON or SOURCE=OFF

       SOURCE=ON causes the SAS log to contain the source
       statements executed to produce the reports.  The
       default is SOURCE=OFF.

    o  MPRINT=ON or MPRINT=OFF

       MPRINT=ON causes the SAS log to contain the statements
       produced by SAS MACRO expansion.  The default is
       MPRINT=OFF.


    o  DBUG=ON or DBUG=OFF

       DBUG=ON causes the SAS log to contain diagnostic
       messages related to SAS Macro execution.  This option
       is helpful in troubleshooting report failures.  The
       default is DBUG=OFF.

Multiple options should be separated by commas.


Examples:  %RMFPP;
           %RMFPP(CHECK=ON,MPRINT=ON);
