Note: In all cases, CA View takes action on the output ID displayed on the line in which the selection code is entered.


Action

Selection Code


What the Product Does

Browse

S

Selects output for browsing using the default logical view

For AFP reports archived through a SARFSS functional subsystem task, the 3270/AFP browser is invoked. This displays the text of the report, merged with any text strings from AFP overlays.

For more information about (and limitations of) browsing AFP reports on 3270 non-graphics terminals, see Browsing AFP Reports on 3270 Non-Graphics Terminals in the chapter "Browsing Output."

 

SA

Displays an AFP report (archived using ACIF) that shows the native AFP records

 

V

First displays the View Selection panel, then displays output for browsing

 

Vnnn

Displays output for browsing using the nnn logical view

 

?

Displays the Data Set List panel for the SYSOUT/report and allows browsing of individual data sets using the native view. Data Set List panel also displays the original report ID for CA Deliver when using the Archival ID option.

Cleanup

C

Invokes cleanup processing then deletes output that was temporarily loaded on disk without deleting the copy on tape.

You can also use this selection code to clean the status of output that was left OPEN due to a system abend.

Note:

  • This changes the LOAD status of output back to TAPE status.
  • You must issue two cleanup commands at least four hours apart to recover the space used.

Delete

D

Deletes the output

 

DD

Deletes the space on primary disk or optical (secondary) disk allocated for a SYSOUT/report

If a report is on primary and secondary disk, the first DD deletes the primary disk copy, and the next DD deletes the secondary disk copy.

 

D2

Deletes the space on optical (secondary) disk allocated for a SYSOUT/report

If a report is on primary and secondary disk, the D2 deletes only the secondary disk copy.

 

DI

Deletes only the space on disk allocated for the page index of a SYSOUT/report

If a report's page indexes are not on primary disk, that report is not part of cross-report indexing.

Extract

X

Accesses the CA Balancing Extraction Request panel

Specifies that CA Balancing Report Control is to extract fields from this output

Note: For more information about extraction, see the CA Balancing System Guide.

Index

I

Creates the JCL for a background job to create a page index for the SYSOUT/report

All indexes defined for all logical views of the report are created.

Load

L

Creates the JCL for a background job to load the SYSOUT/report and all of its page indexes from tape to disk

 

LI

Creates the JCL for a background job to load only the page indexes for the SYSOUT/report from either tape or optical to disk

A report's page indexes must be on primary disk for it to be part of cross-report indexing.

 

LT

Creates the JCL for a background job to load the SYSOUT/report, and all of its page indexes, from tape only to disk

This can be used to bypass loading from optical disk.

 

LX

Creates the JCL for a background job to load only the page indexes for the SYSOUT/report from tape only to disk

This can be used to bypass loading from optical disk.

Migrate

M

Migrates the output to optical disk with next backup cycle

Print

P

Prints the SYSOUT using the Print Attribute panel. For reports archived from CA Deliver, prints the report using the Deliver Re-Print Attributes panel. Enter A on the command line of the respective print attributes panel to display the respective print attributes alternate panel.

 

PI

Prints the index data for a report using the Print Index panel where you can enter print attributes for the SYSOUT data set

 

J

Creates JCL for a background job to print the SYSOUT using values from the Print Attribute panel. For reports archived from CA Deliver, creates JCL for a background job to print the report using values from the Deliver Re‑Print Attributes panel. Enter A on the command line of the respective print attributes panel to display the respective print attributes alternate panel.

 

JI

Creates JCL for a background job to print index data for a report using the Print Index panel where you can enter print attributes for the SYSOUT data set
