Assign SYSOUT IDs Based on Embedded Text

It is possible to have ERO assign SYSOUT IDs based on text within a report itself. For example, you can give compilation listings of a production program a SYSOUT ID that is the name of the program.

It works as follows:

• Specify a text string to be found in the report.
• When the string is found, the preceding or following characters are extracted by ERO and assigned to the report as the SYSOUT ID. The text comprising that string must all be on one line of the report.
• You can define up to five separate text strings, which you specify as initialization parameters PTEXT1 through PTEXT5.

Note: CA Deliver reports have a fixed report ID. You cannot use PTEXTn to change the SYSOUT ID for a CA Deliver report.
