XCOMHOUT

Records the History records retrieved by a TYPE=HISTORY job stream.

If requested by use of the HISTORY_WRITE parameter in the default options table, XCOMHOUT also records the transfer requests for TYPE=INQUIRE jobs. You can share this data set between TYPE=INQUIRE jobs for your site to ensure that all transfer requests from individual TYPE=INQUIRE jobs are recorded in a common XCOMHOUT to be used to generate a report.

To use this facility, create a fixed block sequential data set containing a 3030-byte record. For more information, see the sample TYPE=HISTORY JCL in the appendix Sample Files.

Note: You can change the XCOMHOUT DD name by specifying an alternate DD name, using the HISTORY_OUT_DD parameter in the default option table.

XCOMHOVR

Records the History DDL statements needed to update the ODBC history database in the event the database is unavailable.

The records in this data set can be used with SPUFI or another DB2 utility to insert history data into the history database.
