Selecting Reports

Report options in CULPRPT are used to specify the output criteria for selected reports. Use the instructions below for all report selections.

To select a report option, type the applicable report number at the Selection/Report Number prompt or at the Report ID# prompt on the applicable Report Submenu. Press Enter. The Selection Criteria screen for the report selected is displayed below.

 

Selection Criteria Screen

Figure 13: Selection Criteria Screen

The following prompts appear on the Selection Criteria screens of all CULPRPT reports.

Respond to the prompts as follows:

Field Prompt

Response to Prompt

User Name To Be on JCL

Enter the user's name or other information to identify the report destination. The job control language (JCL) provides information that the operating system needs to execute a job.

Remote Destination

Enter the printer number where the report is to be printed.

Last Character of Job Name

Enter A, B, or C to identify this report from other reports being requested. This character become the sixth character of the job name (i.e., NFC03A). If no entry is made, the system defaults to C.

It is recommended that a unique sixth digit job name character be entered whenever the possibility exists that more than one report will be requested. If a character is not entered and the system defaults to C, when two reports are requested, both jobs would have the same job name. Since duplicate jobs cannot execute at the same time, one job would have to be completed before the system could start executing the other job. If the reports were given the job name characters A and B, they could execute simultaneously.

System Output Class

 

Enter A to direct output to a designated printer and to generate a hard copy computer printout of the report, or X to direct the output to be held for viewing at the terminal. For detailed instructions on viewing a report to printing, see the Interactive System Productivity Facility (ISPF) procedure manual located under the Reporting publication category on the Publications page of the NFC Web site. If no entry is made, the system defaults to A.

Number of Copies Needed

Enter the number of reports needed (1-5). If no entry is made, the system defaults to 1.

Submit Job After BEAR Runs

Enter Y to place the report on hold until the processing of BEAR is complete. If no entry is made, the system defaults to N.
