CPEREPXA
1778 z/VM: CP Commands and Utilities Reference
For those FILEDEFs where NOCHANGE is an option, you can supply an overriding
FILEDEF before invoking CPEREPXA. The NOCHANGE option in CPEREPXA’s
FILEDEF means that it cannot change your previous FILEDEF.

EREPPT
is EREP’s printer file to which the report output is sent. You can override
this FILEDEF with your own FILEDEF, which you can enter before invoking
CPEREPXA.
SYSIN is a workfile built by CPEREPXA and read by EREP. You need not be
concerned with it because it contains very few records. It is placed on the
read/write disk having the most available space. It is erased automatically
at the end of the run because its file mode number is 3. In those runs
where there is no data to go into SYSIN, CPEREPXA issues FILEDEF
SYSIN DUMMY for it, rather than the FILEDEF shown.
SERLOG
represents the SYS1.LOGREC data set. The SYS1.LOGREC does not exist
for z/VM; EREP’s I/O to the SYS1.LOGREC is trapped by HCPIFC.
Nevertheless, the FILEDEF is required to satisfy the needs of the OPEN
and CLOSE commands issued by EREP because these are not trapped.
Although a FILEDEF is defined, no corresponding file ever exists on any
disk.
TOURIST
is the message data set directed to your display station. EREP writes
messages and diagnostics to this file with printer control characters. These
characters may appear as data on the display station. A line of unknown
characters may be printed before the EREP INFORMATIONAL MESSAGES
heading.
DIRECTWK
is a workfile built and read by EREP. It is not always created; whether it is
created depends upon the particular report and whether the input comes
from a history tape. This file may be quite large because it contains all input
error records. The file is placed on the read/write disk having the most
available space and is erased at the end of the run.
ACCDEV
is the accumulation file. Normally, it is a tape on tape drive 181. This file is
used if ACC=Y is specified either explicitly or implicitly. If ACC=Y is
specified, tape 181 is rewound and spaced forward over the existing file
and then backspaced over the tape mark before any writing is done. In this
way, the tape is positioned to write new records at the end of the
accumulation file.
For standard label tapes only: You must enter your own FILEDEF for
ACCDEV before invoking CPEREPXA, so that the header labels are read
correctly as filedef accdev tapel sl (recfm vb blksize 12000
In addition, if you want to update the standard label tape file, you should
include the DISP MOD option.
Note: By issuing your own FILEDEF for ACCDEV before invoking
CPEREPXA, you can override CPEREPXA’s FILEDEF. In this way,
you can accumulate data to another tape drive or to a disk file.
