I am mostly using ICETOOL with both these two sets of statements or only with one, like this example with INCLUDE COND: (PS - fields with @ are replaced by actual contents) SORT FROM(INDD) TO(TEMP0003) USING(REST) DISPLAY FROM(TEMP0003) LIST(PRINT3R) - NOCC - WIDTH(500) - BETWEEN(2) - TITLE('@PREFIX - @SYSTM: Active Ids') - DATE(4MD/) - TIME(24:) - PAGE - BLANK - ON(NUM,N05) HEADER('NR') - ON(10,8,CH) HEADER('User id') - ON(79,20,CH) HEADER('User Name') - ON(100,8,CH) HEADER('Dflt Group') - ON(19,10,CH) HEADER('Created') - ON(118,10,CH) HEADER('Last Used') OCCUR FROM(TEMP0003) LIST(PRINT3T) - NOCC - WIDTH(500) - ON(78,1,CH) HEADER('Active Ids') - ON(VALCNT,N05) HEADER('Count') //RESTCNTL DD * SORT FIELDS=(10,8,CH,A) INCLUDE COND=(5,4,CH,EQ,C'0200',AND, 54,4,CH,NE,C'YES ',AND, 118,10,CH,NE,C' ',AND, 118,10,CH,NE,19,10,CH,AND, 100,8,CH,EQ,C'@GROEP',AND, 10,3,CH,EQ,C'@PREFIX') With these ICETOOL statements, when there is nothing I get this lame output: ********************************* Top of Data ***************** XYZ - SYSTEM: Active Ids 2017/05/31 13:37:55 NR User id User Name Dflt Group Created ------ -------- -------------------- ---------- ---------- Active Ids Count ---------- ------ ******************************** Bottom of Data *************** ... resulting in unneeded queries from reviewers of these reports. >2. What is the LRECL and RECFM of the dataset? It should not matter, but output is generally LRECL=500 and RECFM=FB (see NOCC in above example) Input for this specific example is a RACF Unloaded DB. RECFM=VB, LRECL=4096. I am also using SMF unloaded dataset from IRRADU00 (LRECL=12288, RECFM=VB) as well other SMF data and other datasets. >3. Does the header already exist in the input file and is it the first 2 >records in the file? or can this be generated? No. I prefer raw data without headers as input, so I can add headers at a later stage like this ICETOOL example above or simply omit headers for sending over as a CSV file. Many thanks again!
