Issue/Introduction

The TSSREPORT2 Utility seems to be reading the lines of data, however, it's generating an empty report. The following shows in the TSSEARL2 report:

Resolution

TSSEARL2 requires TSSUTIL to be run first. In the TSSUTIL jcl, an EARLOUT DD statement needs to be specified pointing to a dataset for the TSSUTIL output. For example:

//EARLOUT DD DISP=(,CATLG),
// DSN=your.dataset.EARLOUT,
// SPACE=(CYL,(50,25)),UNIT=SYSDA,VOL=SER=vvvvvv,
// DCB=BLKSIZE=0

where 'vvvvvv' is the volume where the dataset should be allocated.

The dataset specified in the EARLOUT DD in TSSUTIL then needs to be specified in the TSSUTI DD statement in the TSSEARL2 job. For example:

//TSSUTI    DD  DISP=SHR,DSN=your.dataset.EARLOUT
