SYSVIEW Performance Management Option for DB2 for z/OS

Issue/Introduction

The Sysview Performance Management Option for Db2 for z/OS (IDB2) batch job NSIGHTRW generated a 200 pages report.

The last page (page 200) has 56 lines.

The job generated new page(201) to output trailer record. which is only one line:
<<<REQUEST NFACTPK2 ENDED 10518 LINES>>>" 

Page 201 does not have the heading like page 1:
01/25/19 03:30:11 PAGE 200 REQUEST: NFACTPK2 DB2 SYS: ssid
FIRST RECORD 01/24/19 00:00:17 LAST RECORD 01/24/19 23:59:58
SHORT SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING INFORMATION GROUPED BY PLAN v1.1

Is this a design flaw of program NSIGHTRW? 

Resolution

NSIGHTRW is working as designed. IDB2 is processing the records and printing a report. 

When the end of the input file is reached and there are no more records in the input file, IDB2 prints an information message:
 "<<<REQUEST NFACTPK2 ENDED 10518 LINES>>>" 

If there is a space in the last page, the IDB2 prints the informational message at the bottom of that page.
If there is no space in the last page, IDB2 prints the informational message in the new page.
When the product does that it does not print the header because the informational message is not part of the record.
