Report field descriptions

CONTENTS OF "ACBSYSIN" CONTROL STATEMENT DATASET

This section of the report lists the control statements found in the ACBSYSIN DD statement data set. The ACBSYSIN DD statement is optional. If none is provided, this subreport will not be present.

CONTENTS OF "SYSIN" CONTROL STATEMENT DATASET

This section of the report lists the control statements found in the SYSIN DD statement data set. The SYSIN DD statement is required. It consists of one or more BUILD control statements, DELETE control statements, or both. The DBD and PSB names specified here are listed in the optional DBD/PSB Names Specified via SYSIN report.

CONTENTS OF EXEC STATEMENT PARM FIELD

This section of the report simply lists the content of the PARM field in an EXEC JCL statement.

RUN-TIME PARAMETERS

This section of the report simply lists the parameters used by the Advanced ACBGEN utility. If any parameter was not specified, the default value is shown in this report. A description of each line follows:

IMS RELEASE LEVEL BEING USED: This value is obtained from the DFSVC000 member in your installation's IMS RESLIB. It is placed in the ACBLIB directory entry for each PSB and DBD added or replaced.
Note: Even when the IMS installed level is updated to 15.2, IMS 15.1 is still used for several resources such as ACB. Advanced ACBGEN reports the same IMS version as the IMS ACBGEN utility.
TIMESTAMP USED: This value is placed in the ACBLIB directory entry for each PSB and DBD added or replaced.
BUILD PSB=ALL SPECIFIED: If a BUILD PSB=ALL control statement was found in the SYSIN control data set, this value is set to Y. If this control statement is found, all other SYSIN control statements (if any) are ignored.
PRE-COMPRESSION: This parameter is specified in the PARM field of the EXEC JCL statement. If it is Y, the IEBCOPY utility is invoked to compress the ACB library after all DELETE requests have been processed but before the block building begins. However, if Build PSB=All is specified, pre-compression is not done.
POST-COMPRESSION: This parameter is specified in the PARM field of the EXEC JCL statement. If it is Y, the IEBCOPY utility is invoked to compress the ACB library after the block building process ends.
OPTIONAL REPORTS REQUESTED: The values shown here are the REPORTS=(SYSINLST=) and the REPORTS=(PSBLIST=) operand of the ACBGEN command in the ACBSYSIN control data set. Whether a DFSPRINT DD statement was provided is also shown.
PROGRESS MONITOR REQUESTED: This parameter specifies whether notification of the PSB build progress should be sent to the MVS™ console.
