Use the CPEREPXA utility to access the Environmental Record Editing and Printing
(EREP) program. This utility reads EREP records from a disk or a tape and
produces printed output reports. The input records come from a CMS file that
belongs to the error recording virtual machine or from a history tape. The content of
the output report depends upon the specified or defaulted EREP keyword
parameters and control statements and upon the EREP input records.
Since the EREP program is not used exclusively with VM/ESA, be sure that you
have the latest publications that describe EREP before you attempt to invoke the
program. For details about the EREP keyword parameters and control statements,
generated output reports, and error messages, see Environmental Record Editing
and Printing (EREP) Program User’s Guide and Reference.
Note: The CPEREPXA utility produces error messages prefixed with the letters
HCP. Messages issued from the EREP program are prefixed with the letters
IFC. You can find a description of all HCP-prefixed messages in the “Control
Program (CP) Messages” section of z/VM: System Messages and Codes -
CP. Environmental Record Editing and Printing (EREP) Program User’s
Guide and Reference describes the IFC-prefixed messages.

(The keyword parameters and control statements are described in “EREP
Keyword Parameters” below.) You can specify an asterisk (*) in place of the file
mode to indicate that the standard CMS search order is to be used to find the
file.
If you do not enter the file name and file type of a control file, you are prompted
to enter the keyword parameters and control statements from your display
station.
EREP Keyword Parameters
CPEREPXA
Table 28 on page 1774 contains a list of EREP keyword parameters that you can
enter in your CPEREPXA control file or enter at your display station in response to
the prompts issued by the CPEREPXA utility. This list contains only EREP keyword
parameters. All control statements are passed to the EREP program without any
recognition or action by CP.
This publication does not fully document the EREP program keyword parameters. It
does not describe the precise meaning and use of the keyword parameter values
that are required to be used with the keyword parameters. For complete details on
