Searching for APARs and PTFs
The PIPE command can be used to search for up to five authorized program
analysis reports (APARs) or program temporary fixes (PTFs) on the host NetView
system, as shown in the following command procedure:
/* Sample REXX command list Named: NVMAINT */
/******************************************************************/
/* */
/* Be careful when searching for an APAR/PTF that has been */
/* superseded by a different APAR/PTF. */
/* */
/* Syntax is: NVMAINT apar1 ptf2 apar3 ptf4 apar5 */
/* */
/******************************************************************/
ARG fix.1 fix.2 fix.3 fix.4 fix.5
IF fix.1 = ’’ THEN
DO
SAY ’Please supply an APAR or PTF, for example: NVMAINT UY86627’
EXIT
END
srchtxt = ’
/******************************************************************/
/* Loop through passed arguments to set up search string. */
/* Will search for APAR/PTF in columns 43-49 of DISPMOD output */
/******************************************************************/
DOi=1to5
IF fix.i ¬= ’’ then
srchtxt = srchtxt || ’ 43.7 \’fix.i’\’
END
/******************************************************************/
/* SEParate DISPMOD MLWTO output into single lines, */
/* LOCate APARs/PTFs supplied as arguments */
/* COLlect the matched lines into a single MLWTO */
/* Display to the CONSole ONLY */
/* (do not put into NetView log or automate) */
/******************************************************************/
’PIPE NETV DISPMOD ALL ALL’,
’| SEP’,
’| LOC ’ srchtxt,
’| COL’,
’| CONS ONLY’
EXIT

Displaying Task Information Summary
356 Programming: Pipes
An operator can create a summary of information for a task by combining PIPE
commands within a command procedure. This example shows how to create a
summary for the DSIGDS task:
/*******************************************************************/
/* Sample REXX command list Named: GDSSUM */
/* Display a summary of information for the DSIGDS task */
/* */
/* GDSSUM will display for the task: */
/* 1) DSIGDS status, active or not active (from LIST DSIGDS) */
/* */
/* In addition, if the task is active, GDSSUM will display: */
/* 2) which NetView proc has the DSIGDS interface with VTAM */
/* (from DIS DSIGDS) */
/* 3) DSRB usage for DSIGDS (from DSRBS DSIGDS). */
/* 4) storage, CPU usage and buffer queue for DSIGDS (from */
/* TASKUTIL DSIGDS) */
