PCSEVRP Report Writer; unable to generate report to DISK or PUNCH

• FAQS - Automated Systems Operation

Issue/Introduction

I'm not able to record PCSEVRP report to disk nor punch. This is needed in order for the report to be read by z/OS on a shared disk.

I am able to direct JCLSERV report to disk like this:

// JOB JCLJOB                             
// DLBL IJSYSLS,'JCL.TEMP',,SD            
// EXTENT SYSLST,B1JU38,,,00970410,10000  
// ASSGN SYSLST,DISK,PERM,VOL=B1JU38,SHR  
// LIBDEF PROC,SEARCH=PRDLIB.CALIB        
// EXEC PROC=JCLSERV                      
./ OPT NOHDR                              
./ DSPLY VDB:*.JCL                        
./ END                                    
/*                                        
CLOSE SYSLST,00E,PERM                     
/*          

 

But the same does not work for PCSEVRP:

4883I INVALID LOGICAL UNIT                 SYSLST=A12 

      

probably due to the DTFxx macro used by PCSEVRP.

 

               

Environment

Release : 5.1

Component : FAQS Automated Systems Operation for z/VSE

Cause

More or less a limitation; the code that does the print part will only output to a printer. 

Resolution

More or less a limitation; the code that does the print part will only output to a printer. 

One alternative is to read the print output via a REXX or DITTO job and put it to disk shared by z/OS.

Also, if running Dynam/FI, you could use it's unit record simulation with PCSEVRP to direct the output to disk.
