Tells EREP to
Select only the specified
types of records.
Syntax
TYPE=code[code]…
Each
code is
one of the following:
- Code
- Record Type
- A
- A1 through AF records
- B
- B1 through BF records
- C
- CCH/CRW/SLH: Channel check/channel report word/subchannel logout
records
- D
- DDR: Dynamic device reconfiguration records
- E
- System termination (EOD): End of day and other terminating events
- F
- F0 through FF records
- H
- MIH: Missing interrupt records
- I
- System initialization (IPL): Initial program load
- M
- MCH: Machine check records
- O
- OBR: Outboard records; unit checks
- S
- Software (SFT): System abends and other software events
- T
- MDR (formerly TPR): Miscellaneous data records
- X
- C0 through CF records
- Y
- D0 through DF records
- Z
- E0 through EF records
Defaults
EREP
uses all types of records for the report.
Coding
Do
not include parenthesis, commas, or blanks when coding TYPE.
Parameter Conflicts
THRESHOLD
ZERO
Notes
- Take care when specifying TYPE with SYSUM or SYSEXN as report
results can be misleading.
- If you use the TYPE parameter, you cannot use ZERO=Y because you
have excluded some records from processing.
- Some other EREP selection parameters are meaningful with only
some of the record types. The following table shows these parameters
and the record-type codes they work with:
- Parameter
- Record Types
- CPUCUA
- C, D, H, O, T
- CUA
- C, D, H, O, T
- DEV
- A, C, D, H, O, T
- DEVSER
- O
- ERRORID
- M, S
- LIA/LIBADR
- T
- SYMCDE
- O
- TERMN
- O
- VOLID
- O, T
Coding these selection parameters by themselves
does not fully limit the types of records EREP processes; you also
need the TYPE parameter to improve EREP’s processing efficiency.
For
example:
If you want a report using CCH records selected by
CPUCUA, you must code TYPE=C as well as the CPUCUA parameter. Otherwise,
EREP will use all the record types that contain a CPUCUA, which are
DDR, MCH, MDR, MIH, and OBR, as well as CCH.
- If you use the TYPE selection parameter, EREP does not process
records that are invalid or unknown.
Examples
To
select machine-check and channel-check records:
TYPE=MC
To
select all software-generated records:
TYPE=EIS
