Dispatch STATUS activity - Custom Culprit report DSCULP65

Products

• Dispatch Output Mgmt

Issue/Introduction

I am attempting to clean up our Dispatch environment in preparation for a product conversion from Dispatch to View/Deliver. We need to identify what reports are actively being used to spool reports out to JES for print and who the recipients for those reports are.

- We've tried using the canned DSCULP06  report but it shows ALL status activity, going back several years.

- We've tried using DSCULP07 but it only shows the last 48 hours of activity.

Is there a Culprit report that will return a list of STATUS activity for the past year or that works based on a date range that we can specify? 

Environment

Dispatch, z/os, Culprit, custom, report, status, activity, date, range, specific

Cause

Site specific need

Resolution

See the "DSCULP65.txt" notepad file attached to this Knowledge Article.

- As supplied, this report will reflect the last 365 days of STATUS activity, from the date the Culprit job is run.

*NOTES* 

- Refer to the '$$' section of comment lines for instructions, if you wish to designate a specific STARTING DATE for the report. 

- Code the Culprit statements into a new CADSOPTN library member. Then modify the MEMBER= symbolic in the DSEXCULP jobs JCL to point to this new member name.

- Submit the DSEXCULP job to produce the report. 
                                                                      
- Remember, VALID Culprit control statements must start in column 2. And don't forget to remove the TOP OF DATA and BOTTOM OF DATA lines before executing.
