3.8.3 Macro Variable Override Options

The Data Set Size Analysis, the Data Set Fragmentation
Analysis, and the Data Set Last Reference Analysis sections
of the Overview report display distributions of data sets
within a set of predefined categories.  The values associated
with these categories are adjustable by the user.  The
Exception Analysis section reports on the five most critical
exceptions.  The exception numbers can also be specified by
the user.  A set of macro variables has been defined which
specify the lower bound values for each of the categories and
the number of the most significant exceptions.  The macro
variables are defined in the VCARPTU1 member of
sharedprefix.MICS.SOURCE.  The names and descriptions of the
macro variables are shown in Figure 3-8.
