Sample Report Forms
A set of sample report forms is provided with CICS PA (see Table 1). They demonstrate how CICS PA reports can be tailored to reflect the many ways you use and configure your CICS® systems. The CICS PA reports and extracts produced using these sample report forms will provide a detailed picture of the many aspects affecting CICS system performance.
To add the samples to your report forms data set, select in the action bar of the Report Forms panel. The
Sample Form Search panel is displayed.

The Sample Form Search panel provides an easy way for you to
quickly reduce the list of samples so you can find the ones you want. To reduce the list of samples,
specify some search criteria and press Enter. If you press Enter without specifying any search
criteria, the full list of samples is displayed. The following search criteria fields are available
for this panel:

- Search String
- A sequence of consecutive characters to search for. The search matches the sample report forms that contain the search string in any of the fields of the sample report form, except for its selection criteria. That is, the searchable fields include: Description, Title, Field Name, Field Type, Function, Length, Dictionary Definition, and Field Description. For example, if you search for AB, the search returns all samples that contain the word ABEND in any of those fields.
- Performance
- Select any of the performance options to limit the search to that type of performance sample forms only.
- Categories
- Each sample report form is classified into one or more categories to provide another way of finding samples. For example, you can use the category search to find the sample forms that relate to CPU usage and analysis. To search all categories, leave all the line action fields empty. To search specific categories, enter line action S against those categories.
