RMODSC Report Data Set Collector

In addition to the pre-spool and post-spool collection interfaces, CA Deliver provides an interface to collect, distribute, and bundle report data contained in a standard sequential file. By default, CA Deliver distributes reports based on lookup of job name, step name procedure step name, and data definition (DD) name information. The data set collector provides added flexibility by allowing multiple files to be processed, allowing distribution based on a specific report definition, and allowing manipulation and/or sectioning of input data through a named user exit.

A sequential input file containing the report data is designated by either the PARM field or control statement specifications. All standard record formats, record lengths, and block sizes are supported. A user exit can also be designated to add, change, and/or delete input records and specifically identify sections of the report data.
