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. The text of the report is displayed, merged with any text strings from AFP overlays.

See Browsing AFP Reports on 3270 Non-Graphics Terminals in the chapter "Browsing Output" for more details about and limitations of browsing AFP reports on 3270 non-graphics terminals.

 

V

First displays the View Selection panel, then displays the SYSOUT group for browsing using the view number you entered

 

Vnnn

Displays the SYSOUT group for browsing using nnn logical view

 

?

Displays the Data Set List panel for the SYSOUT/report and allows browsing of individual data sets using the native view

Cleanup

C

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

Note:

  • This selection changes the LOAD status of output back to TAPE status.
    You can use this selection code to clean the status of output that was left OPEN due to a system abend.
  • You must issue two cleanup commands at least four hours apart to recover the space used.

Delete

D

Deletes the SYSOUT group

 

DD

Deletes the space on primary disk or optical (secondary) disk that is 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.

 

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, which is used to specify that CA Balancing is to extract fields from this output

For more information, 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, only from tape to disk

Use LT 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

Use LX to bypass loading from optical disk.
