Reporting Commands
Note:
• If you do not issue a SELECT statement, all records in the Audit file are
selected.
• You cannot issue the SELECT command for predefined reports.
Field Values for SELECT Command
The following chart details the permitted field values for SELECT:
Value Example Notes
Numeric NCYCLE 5 Numeric values are right-justified within their
fields.
Alphanumeric JOB CATEST8 Alphanumeric values are left-justified within
their fields. If the string contains embedded
blanks, commas, or parentheses, enclose it in
apostrophes. If the string includes
apostrophes around it, use double
apostrophes.
Date
DATE
11/27/00
At system generation time, decide whether to
express DATE in mm/dd/yy or dd/mm/yy
format. Use this format for AUDTUTIL.
TIME TIME 07 17 The TIME format is HH.MM.SS. This example
selects entries logged between 7 A.M. and 5
P.M.(17:00:00)
When you are comparing alphanumeric field values, only the number of
characters supplied on the SELECT statement is used, regardless of the actual
length of the field. For example, to select all job names beginning with the
characters 'EL', issue the command:
SELECT (JOB EL)
Generic Classes for SELECT Statement
CA Dynam/D Generic Classes:
Records are logically grouped into generic classes based upon the contents of
one or more fields. Include a class name to reference these records in your
SELECT statement; this eliminates the need to specify the field values.
