Report and extract options
Options that apply to both the Cross-System Work report and extract
are:
- OUTPUT
- Controls the report output DDname. See OUTPUT for further information. If not
specified, CICS PA assigns
a DDname in the format xxxxnnnn where nnnn is the report sequence
number 0001-9999 to uniquely identify the output, and xxxx
is:
- CROS for the Cross-System Work report
- CROX for the Recap report for the Cross-System Work extract
- EXTERNAL
- Specifies the DDname for the work data set used by the external SORT facility. If not specified, CICS PA assigns an External Work File from a pool of External Work Files with DDnames in the format CPAXWnnn where nnn is the sequence number 001-999. See EXTERNAL for further information.
- SELECT(PERFORMANCE(INCLUDE|EXCLUDE
- Specifies
what data to include or exclude from the report or extract based on
data field values. See Using SELECT statements for
an explanation and examples.
If used in conjunction with SELUOW, it does not impact reporting but rather is a first-level pre-sort filter. The purpose of SELECT in this case is to exclude the records that you know are of no interest and thereby reduce the volume of records to be sorted for reporting. It is suitable, for example, for time range checking and selecting all possible transaction IDs of interest.
