Creating customized tape reports from saved ISMF lists

To generate tape reports, use option 11.5.3:

1. From the "SMS Report Generation Selection Menu" panel (option 11.5), choose "Tape Volume Report from Saved ISMF List" (option 3).

2. Fill in the data set name, table member name, and page length.

   Indicate whether you want to replace the specified data set if it already exists. If N is specified and the data set name already exists, an error message will be returned. If Y is specified, the data set will be deleted, a new data set with the same name will be allocated, and the report will be written to this data set.

3. Select as many fields as you want in the report, using numbers to indicate the order in which you want them printed.

   For example, the filled in fields of the following sample panel indicate that the user wants a report that prints the volume serial number, the use attribute, the volume error status, the media type, and the shelf location.

4. After you have filled in all the information, press the Enter key. This creates a saved data set that can be browsed.
