CA Common Services for z/OS EARL Service, the CA Easy Access Report Language, provides you with the capability to design and produce customized reports. Easy access to VMF volume and multi-data set record information provides reporting flexibility and allows you to tailor reports to your desired format.
This section describes the types of access methods available for retrieving information from the VMF and identifies required z/OS EARL Service components. The discussion of date manipulation functions for date fields retrieved from the VMF includes coding examples of date function calls. CA EARL uses data record formats common to both CA 1 and CA TLMS, so that access from either system is identical. The TAPEDB z/OS EARL Service record layout identifies those fields that are unique to CA 1 and those that are unique to CA TLMS. Several CA EARL coding examples are supplied, and include the output generated. Each record contains information for a tape data set and the volume it resides on. Data sets which reside on multiple volumes are represented by multiple records, as are volumes with multiple data sets. One record is returned for each unique volser and file sequence. Volumes which have no data sets return null values in the data set portion of the record.
Note: To produce a simple report that does not take advantage of the CA Common Services for z/OS EARL Service advanced features, see User Defined Report (TLERPT18).
