Printing Components Using the REP Option

You can print MODS component reports by selecting option REP from the MODS : Primary Menu. The Report Writer : Report List panel is displayed. The panel lists the component reports that you can print. For each report, you can select the definitions to be included.

There are two report formats for each component: detail and summary. A detail report contains exact copies of the selected definitions within a component. A summary report contains single line descriptions of the selected definitions within a component.

If you need to restrict the definitions that are listed when the report is generated, you can provide test criteria on the following panel.

Note: You must know the fields (variable names) that can be specified. To determine which fields apply to each report, enter LF next to the report and make a note of the required fields names before continuing.

To select a report for printing, type S or / next to the report and press Enter. The PSM : Confirm Printer panel is displayed. If necessary, change the values in the fields, then press F6 (Conform).

The MODS : Definition Report Search panel is displayed.

 PROD------------------- MODS : Definition Report Search -----------------------  Command ===>                                                  Function=Search  Appl ID Prefix ..  ___  Test ............. ____________________________________________________________                     ____________________________________________________________                     ____________________________________________________________                     ____________________________________________________________                     ____________________________________________________________                     ____________________________________________________________                     ____________________________________________________________                     ____________________________________________________________                     ____________________________________________________________                     ____________________________________________________________     F1=Help      F2=Split     F3=Exit                                F6=Action                             F9=Swap

Use the panel to restrict the definitions you want to include in the report. If you do not fill in any fields, all definitions of the selected component are printed.

Note: Depending on the selected component, the panel displayed might have a different title and first field. For example, the title is MODS : Command Definition Report Search and the field is Command ID Prefix for command definitions.

Use the prefix field to restrict the definitions to be included in the report for a particular MODS component: for example, $LH indicating the CAS list definitions. Use the Test fields to further restrict the definitions by a Boolean expression. For the syntax of Boolean expressions, see the Network Control Language Reference Guide. The expression tests for certain values within a definition. The following example restricts the report to private list definitions belonging to USER01:

&$LHLDTYPE=’PRIVATE’ AND &$LHLDUSERID=’USER01’

To identify the variables that hold these values, use the LF=List Fields action.

Note: If reports for help or messages are selected, the panel will contain a language code field. The language code is that of the records for which you want to produce the report. If this field is left blank, the report will be produced for English language help or messages.

After you specify the restrictions, press F6 (Action) to print the report.

If the report is on hold, you can use the PQ[UEUE] command to access the PSM output queue and view the report.
