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.

Note: For more information about the limitations of browsing AFP reports on 3270 non-graphic terminals, see Browsing AFP Reports on 3270 Non-Graphics Terminals in the chapter "Browsing Output".

 

V

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

 

Vnnn

Displays the report for browsing using logical view nnn

 

?

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.

Note: In EXP mode, the Data Set list shows the actual lines and pages received by your DISTID.

Cleanup

C

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

This selection changes the LOAD status of the output back to TAPE status.

You can also 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.

Note: If a report has a location of PTMP and has a report index, the report index is deleted if it was reloaded with the report data.

Delete

D

Deletes the report

 

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.

Note: If a report has a location of PTMP and has a report index, the report index is deleted if it was reloaded with the report data.

 

DI

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

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

Email

E

Emails the report, using the Email Attribute panel

Extract

X

Accesses the CA Balancing Extraction Request panel that is used to specify that CA Balancing is to extract fields from this report

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

Index

I

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

Load

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 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 can be used to bypass loading from optical disk.

 

LX
