General Reporting−DYNPRINT
Creating Customized Reports
With DYNPRINT you can modify existing reports, either permanently or as
needed. Additionally, you can create new, custom reports. These may be
saved in object form for repetitive use, or compiled and executed in one job
step for once-only use.
To compile and link a new or customized report program, you may either use
the CA Earl compiler directly or to go through the COMPILE feature of
DYNPRINT. To compile and execute in one step, you must use the COMPILE
feature. DYNPRINT invokes the CA Earl compiler and then executes the
resulting object program, assuming no serious errors are detected by the
compiler.
The CA Earl source programs used to generate the standard report programs
are supplied with DYNPRINT, and can be found on the DYNPRINT library with a
member type of '0' (zero). The source members have the same name as the
object members.
To customize a report, you must update the source book, either with the
existing or a new name. The updated source member could then be compiled
with the CA Earl compiler, linkage edited and cataloged into the execution
library. The program in the execution library must have a name that is known
to DYNPRINT (such as CUS01 or DYNAF) and correspond to an existing report
name keyword (such as CUSTOM01 or ACTVFILE).
For more information about instructions and examples of compiling and
linkage editing CA Earl programs, see the CA Earl documentation.
Once a phase named CUSnn has been cataloged into a library in the DYNPRINT
phase search chain, that report program may be invoked by the REPORT
command using the CUSTOMnn report-name keyword.
You can make use of the SELECT option in any custom report. The SELECT
keyword values defined for all custom reports are:
Value EACSELOP Bit EACSELOP Value
REPORT1 15 1
REPORT2 14 2
REPORT3 13 4
REPORT4 12 8
