Generate a Tab Report Using Commands and Variables

A single Report Writer command can include more than one ID option. You can specify an ID option with the command plus specify ID options with one or more of the variables included in the command. Use the following procedure to generate a tab report.

Follow these steps:

1. Specify the TAB command with the ID option TRANID:

   This ID option organizes the report by transaction ID.

2. In addition, specify one of the variables with the ID option and identifier TRANID(CINQ)

   This ID option restricts the range of that variable to the transaction CINQ.

   TAB TRANID  TRAN USE         AND,
               TRAN LIFETIME    AND,
               TRAN MAXLIFETIME AND,
               TRAN USE TRANID(CINQ) HDR1( TRAN USE ) HDR2(FOR TRAN “CINQ”)
     FROM 03/05/10 08:00:00
     TO   03/05/10 12:00:00
   END
   RUN
   

3. Run the report

A report similar to the following is generated:

TRAN       TRAN     TRAN    MAX TRAN     TRAN USE
 ID         USE   LIFETIME  LIFETIME  FOR TRAN “CINQ”
-------- -------- --------- -------- ----------------
CINQ       1081    0.764     102.5        1081
CMAS        651    1.580     115.2           0
PINQ        651    0.564     53.06           0
IINQ        365    0.443     67.73           0
-------- -------- --------- -------- ----------------
SUMMARY    2748    0.867     102.5        1081
-------- -------- --------- -------- ----------------

Note: The last column of the report has only one nonzero entry. Because this report is organized on the ID option TRANID, each row shows information about only the transaction listed in the first column. The last column of the preceding report represents the use of transaction CINQ only. Therefore, only the detail line for transaction CINQ has a nonzero value in the last column.
