Report Processing

Once the started task verifies that the SYSOUT being opened is to be controlled, it modifies the Access Method Control block for the data set so that it gains control every time a record is written for the data set. Basic reports are opened when the DD statement is opened. Stacked and interleaved reports are opened the first time that their selection criteria are matched.

Each record is written to every allocated and open report data set.

• CA Deliver selected the data set when it was opened
• Closed all open report data sets
• For not-produced reports, CA Deliver sets the NPROD flag ON and optionally writes a SYSOUT line based on the setting of the RPTNPROD initialization parameter
