HDB Report command

The HDB(REPORT) operand requests CICS PA to generate reports from HDB data. The command applies to both List and Summary HDBs.

The command format is:
CICSPA HDB(REPORT(hdbname),
          [OUTPUT(ddname),]
          [TOTALS(n)|NOTOTALS,]
          [SUFACTOR(hdbname(nnnnn.nnn)),]
          [INTERVAL(hh:mm:ss),]
          [FIELDS(field1[(options)],...),]
          [LINECount(nnn),]
          [SELECT(PERFORMANCE(INCLUDE|EXCLUDE(field1(values1),...),...)),]
          [SELECT2(PERFORMANCE(INCLUDE|EXCLUDE(field1(values1),...),...))])
The options are:
REPORT
Specifies the name of the HDB to report against. The HDB must be defined in the Repository (DDname CPAHDBRG).
OUTPUT
DDname for the report output. If not specified, CICS PA assigns a DDname in the format HDBRnnnn where nnnn is the report sequence number 0001-9999 to uniquely identify the output.
NOTOTALS|TOTALS(n)
The totals level applies only to the Summary report.

Specify TOTALS(1) to TOTALS(8) to accumulate subtotals for up to 8 sort fields, print the subtotals when the sort field changes, and print a grand total at the end of the report. Default: TOTALS(8)

Specify TOTALS(0) for no subtotals, but print only the grand total.

Specify NOTOTALS for neither subtotals nor grand total.

SUFACTOR

Specifies a CPU SU conversion factor to apply to the HDB records. The SUFACTOR operand includes two keywords to identify the HDB name and its associated conversion factor. The value must be a decimal number or integer in the range 1 - 999999999 (nine 9s).

INTERVAL
This operand applies to Summary HDBs. It specifies a time interval when the report summarizes transaction activity over time. The interval is in the range 1 second to 24 hours in the format hh:mm:ss for hours, minutes, and seconds.

Data in a Summary HDB is already summarized by the interval that was used to load the data. This is the value specified in the HDB or, if Time Interval was not specified in the HDB, the value defined in the Template.

You can further summarize the data by specifying a multiple of the interval that was used to load the data. Specify a value in the range 00:00:01 (1 second) to 24:00:00 (24 hours). For example, specify 00:15:00 if you want to summarize transaction activity over 15 minute intervals. If you are reviewing many days worth of data then you might specify 24:00:00 (24 hours) so that you can view the daily trend.

Notes:
  • If you specify a reporting interval that is equal to or less than the interval that was used to load the data, the report or extract uses the data as-is, without further summarization.
  • If you do not specify a reporting interval it defaults to the interval that was used to load the data, unless that value is less than 1 minute, in which case the reporting interval is set to 1 minute.

A time interval of less than one hour must fit evenly into the hour. CICS PA will round it down to the nearest interval that aligns to the hour. For example, 1.35 is reduced to 00:01:30 minutes which will produce 40 interval report lines for each hour of data.

A time interval of more than one hour must fit evenly into the day. CICS PA will round it down to the nearest interval that aligns to the day. For example, 10.30.23 is reduced to 08:00:00 hours which will produce 3 interval report lines for each day of data.

Minutes take precedence for an abbreviated entry. For example:
1
becomes 00:01:00
1.1
becomes 00:01:00 (rounded down from 00:01:01)
1.1.1
becomes 01:00:00 (rounded down from 01:01:01)
FIELDS
Specifies which fields are reported, the order in which they appear in the report, and their summarization presentation. Only fields that are specified in the HDB Template can be specified. Fields not contained in the HDB are reported as Missing.
LINECount
Controls the number of lines per page in the HDB report.
SELECT, SELECT2
Specifies what data to include or exclude from the report based on data field values.

SELECT and SELECT2 can both be specified to perform record filtering. The CICS PA dialog generates SELECT2 statements in the command deck when you use a Report Form that has active Selection Criteria. If both SELECT and SELECT2 are specified, then the record must pass selection by both specifications for it to be included in the report.
