Report Headings
EXP. DATE
Report Samples
The report headings are generally self-explanatory, but note the following:
Because files can be disk, tape or FI-type, and the PERM and RETAIN dates
can differ for these categories, no attempt is made to translate these dates to
the appropriate texts. The tape PERM date, 2099/366, appears on the report
as 01/13/2099.
For more information about samples of catalog file definitions, see to the
chapter "CA Dynam Report Examples."
File Usage Frequency−FREQUSE
The FREQUSE report is a standard, catalog-based DYNPRINT report supplied
with CA Dynam. It helps you assess how effectively storage is being used. The
information focuses on the age and frequency of use of the files.
Specific features let you do the following:
• Print the report in four different sort orders, highlighting very old, longunused,
or little-used files.
• End the report at an arbitrary number of files, including only the "worst
offenders."
• For generation-type files, report on all versions, or only a specified
number.
• Include tape files, disk files, or both.
• Report on any CA Dynam Catalog.
FREQUSE is based on the older DYNFREQ report, but offers extensive
functional advantages. In addition, the algorithms used to compute the data
and sort the files have been improved.
