Using Control Statements with Reports

Some EREP control statements are general-purpose, applying to most of the reports and most kinds of devices. Others are quite report-specific and product-specific.

Table 1 shows which control statements you can use with the various EREP report parameters.

Table 1. Valid Combinations of Control Statements and Report Parameters
PARAMETERS CONTROLLER DASDID LIMIT SHARE (1) SYSIMG
EVENT       YES YES
PRINT = AL       (2) (3)
PRINT = DR       YES (3)
PRINT = NO         (3)
PRINT = PS       (2) (3)
PRINT = PT         (4)
PRINT = SD       (2) (3)
PRINT = SU       YES (3)
SYSEXN   YES YES (5) YES
SYSUM YES     YES YES
THRESHOLD YES     YES YES
TRENDS       YES YES
Notes:
  1. SHARE statements are not used for DASD devices that provide product identifiers within their sense.
  2. These PRINT options include detail summaries, which can include shared I/O devices.
  3. Do not use if data is from the ERDS.
  4. Use of the SYSIMG parameter does not affect the PRINT=PT parameter. The PRINT=PT parameter allows the processing of an unlimited number of CPUs; there is no need to alter serial numbers.
  5. Use only for tape devices and DASD devices that do NOT provide product identifiers within their sense data.
