Issue/Introduction

Is there a way to identify users that have never logged on to TPX using TPX Batch? 

Resolution

The last TPX logon date for a user is stored in variable VUSRDACC. If this value is blank, that means the user has never signed on to TPX.

You cannot directly extract on a blank value for this variable. This batch example shows you how to manipulate extracted data to report and delete users that have never logged on to TPX.

NOTE: These sort steps invoke CA-SORT. If you use a different sort utility then you will need to modify the sort step JCL and parameters accordingly.

 //* THIS JCL INCLUDES A DELETE STEP *** 
 //* 
 //* Cannot extract directly on blank value for VUSRDACC, so... 
 //* Extract all users and the last time they signed on to TPX 
 //* then sort and include only those that have blank value. 
 //* 
 //* 1) Step BATCHEXT: The TPX batch job sends the RPTFILE to a 
 //*    catalogued dataset rather than SYSOUT. 
 //* 2) Step SORT1: The first sort step captures the 2 title lines. 
 //* 3) Step SORT2: The second sort step skips the title lines, 
 //*    then sorts the remaining lines that include only blank dates. 
 //* 4) Step REPORT1: Print out original RPTFILE with all users. 
 //* 5) Step REPORT2: Concatenates the titles and condensed report from 
 //*    the SORT steps into one SYSOUT file. 
 //**6) Batch DELETE based on output from SORT2 step 
 //* 7) Extract again to show results of delete
