The CA Earl Print Job

The CAKSORDS member in CAI.SAMPJCL executes the CA Earl program to generate reports on the output data file generated from the Daily job, CAKSLOAD. This PROC uses two CAI.CAIMAC members. The first contains the CA Earl record definitions (DEF statements). The second member contains CA Earl source statements needed to produce the report.

Before running the CA Earl program, complete the following steps:

• Customize the CAKSEARL PROC. Be sure to change the SSID to reflect the correct database system identifier.
• Create a CAI.CAIMAC member using the sequential CAIKSERL generated by CAKSCOMT (i.e., ORDEF1).
• CAI.CAIMAC members CAKSORDS1 and CAKSORDS2 contain sample CA Earl source statements for two sample reports. Copy one of these members to a new CAI.CAIMAC member (i.e. DEF1PRT).
• Modify the member created in step3 (DEF1PRT) as follows:
  • Change the COPY CBDEF3 statement to reflect the CAI.CAIMAC member name for the CA Earl record definitions (DEF statements) from step 2. For this example, it would be COPY ORDEF1.
  • Change the Report Title statements.
  • Modify the CONTROL statements.
  • Modify the PRINT statements.
• Modify the CAKSORDS member from CAI.SAMPJCL before executing the report. Change the //SYSIN DD statement to reflect the correct report control statement member name (created in step 3). For this example, it would be //SYSIN DD CAI.CAIMAC(DEF1PRT).

  Note: See the CA Earl User Guide for details on the CA Earl statement.
