End User Facility

The End User Facility provides a convenient interface through which you can run reports. Reports are:

Before you can run a report, it must be registered with the End User Facility through Program Generator. You can run reports by selecting them from a list. If the report uses input variables, a subsequent panel will be displayed on which you can specify runtime values for the variables.

The End User Facility has a version for TSO and another version for CICS. These two versions are similar in appearance and behavior. In either environment, online reports are automatically run online, and the report is displayed to the user. In either environment, the user can print the report. Under TSO, if the selected report is a batch program, JCL to run it is automatically generated and submitted (or edited if desired). Under TSO, non-compiled QMF queries, queries and forms, and procedures can be run online.

This chapter describes how to access the End User Facility, and how to use it to select report programs, provide variable values to those programs, and run those programs.
