Issue/Introduction

We are looking to download some reports, from View, into a DASD file.

Environment

Release : 14.0

Resolution

The way to offload a View report to a physical-sequential file would be via use of SARBCH /LOAD:

//XXXXXXXX JOB ...                                                
//SARBCH   EXEC PGM=SARBCH,PARM='VIEW_HLQ'  <=== MODIFY DB NAME   
//STEPLIB  DD  DISP=SHR,DSN=VIEW.CVDELOAD     <=== MODIFY, IF USED
//SYSPRINT DD  SYSOUT=*                                           
//REPORT   DD   SYSOUT=*                                          
//RPTOUT01 DD  DSN=XXXXXX.XXXXXX.RPTOUT01,                        
//             DISP=(,CATLG,DELETE),                              
//             UNIT=XXXX,VOL=SER=YYYYYY,                          
//             DCB=(RECFM=VB,LRECL=32756,BLKSIZE=32760),          
//             SPACE=(CYL,(NNN,NNN),RLSE)                         
//SYSIN    DD   *                                                 
/LOAD ID=XXXXXXXXXXXX GEN=NNNN SEQ=NN DDNAME=RPTOUT01    
/*                                                                
//                                                                

 . SARBCH /LIST ID=... GEN=... can be used to create a list of reports either for all
   the reports in the database, or a partial list, with use of wildcard matching.

 . Here is a link to the View 14.0 documentation set:

https://techdocs.broadcom.com/us/en/ca-mainframe-software/traditional-management/ca-view/14-0.html

 . In the View CVDEOPTN library are programs SARSAM1 through SARSAMB. 

   It's possible that code could be extracted from a SARSAM program, to suit the purpose. 

   For information on SARSAM, please consult the View Programming Guide.
