Resolution

When the need arises to print a CA View report to a physical sequential data set, you can accomplish that using the following SARBCH jobs:

  • There are two methods that can be used to create a data set without a report banner:
     
  • Using LOAD:
       //XXXXXXXX JOB ...
       //SARBCH   DD  EXEC PGM=SARBCH,PARM='VIEW.DB1'   <=== Modify DB name
       //STEPLIB  DD  DISP=SHR,DSN=VIEW.CAILIB         <=== Modify, if used
       //SYSPRINT DD  SYSOUT=* 
       //REPORT   DD  SYSOUT=*
       //RPTOUT01 DD  DSN=XXXXXX.XXXXXX.RPTOUT,
       //             DISP=(,CATLG,DELETE),
       //             DCB=(...),                             <=== See below
       //SYSIN    DD   *
       /LOAD ID=xxxxxxxxxxxx GEN=nnn SEQ=n DDNAME=RPTOUT01   <=== See below
       /*
       //
  • Using PRINT:
       //XXXXXXXX JOB ...
       //SARBCH   DD  EXEC PGM=SARBCH,PARM='VIEW.DB1'   <=== Modify DB name
       //STEPLIB  DD  DISP=SHR,DSN=VIEW.CAILIB         <=== Modify, if used
       //SYSPRINT DD  SYSOUT=*
       //REPORT   DD  SYSOUT=*
       //RPTOUT01 DD  DSN=XXXXXX.XXXXXX.RPTOUT,
       //             DISP=(,CATLG,DELETE),
       //             DCB=(...),                             <=== See below
       //SYSIN    DD   *
       /PRINT ID=xxxxxxxxxxxx GEN=nnn SEQ=n DDNAME=RPTOUT01 BANNER=*
       /*
       //
    
    
  • The DDNAME=... parameter overrides a //SARLOAD DD statement, if one is specified.
    (The //SARLOAD DD statement defines a user-maintained, sequential data set into which the LOAD
    function is to load the SYSOUT).
     
  • If DCB attributes for the DD statement are omitted, the following are used:
     
  • A record format of VBM
     
  • A record size of the SYSOUT group record size, plus four
     
  • A block size of 32760
     
  • Statement field of "BANNER=*" indicates banner suppression.
     
  • Use this method to create a data set with a report banner:
       //XXXXXXXX JOB ...
       //SARBCH   DD  EXEC PGM=SARBCH,PARM='VIEW.DB1'   <=== Modify DB name
       //STEPLIB  DD  DISP=SHR,DSN=VIEW.CAILIB         <=== Modify, if used
       //SYSPRINT DD  SYSOUT=*
       //REPORT   DD  SYSOUT=*
       //RPTOUT01 DD  DSN=XXXXXX.XXXXXX.RPTOUT,
       //             DISP=(,CATLG,DELETE),
       //             DCB=(...),                             <=== See below
       //SYSIN    DD   *
       /PRINT ID=xxxxxxxxxxxx GEN=nnn SEQ=n DDNAME=RPTOUT01
      /*
      //
    
    
  • If DCB attributes for the DD statement are omitted, the following are used:
     
  • A record format of VBM
     
  • A record size of the SYSOUT group record size, plus four
     
  • A block size of 32760
     
  • Use this method to create a data set, with a report banner, of index data for a specific logical view of a report:
       //XXXXXXXX JOB ...
       //SARBCH   DD  EXEC PGM=SARBCH,PARM='VIEW.DB1'   <=== Modify DB name
       //STEPLIB  DD  DISP=SHR,DSN=VIEW.CAILIB         <=== Modify, if used
       //SYSPRINT DD  SYSOUT=*
       //REPORT   DD  SYSOUT=*
       //RPTOUT01 DD  DSN=XXXXXX.XXXXXX.RPTOUT,
       //             DISP=(,CATLG,DELETE),
       //             DCB=(...),                             <=== See below
       //SYSIN    DD   *
       /PRINTIDX ID=xxxxxxxxxxxx GEN=nnn SEQ=n INDEX=... VIEW=... DDNAME=RPTOUT01
       /*
       //
    
    
  • If DCB attributes for the DD statement are omitted, the following are used:
     
    • A record format of VBM
       
    • A record size of the SYSOUT group record size, plus four
       
    • A block size of 32760
