Issue/Introduction

There is a batch TYPE=HISTORY job that can be used to generate history reports with Easytrieve Report Generator. This feature has been enhanced in XCOM for z/OS 12.0.

Environment

XCOM™ Data Transport® for z/OS

Resolution

This sample JCL has a XCOMJOB TYPE=HISTORY call to get history information and save it to the HISTDD. The HISTDD is then passed to a sample Easytrieve report that generates a report similar to the XCOM ISPF operator display. 

In the CBXGJCL library there is a job called XCOMJOBH. That is a sample TYPE=HISTORY job. For a description of these parameters, see TYPE=HISTORY Parameters.
