Adding a block

These steps describe how to add a report block to a selected report layout that is to contain tailored information.

About this task

In this example, the BUFFER POOL ACTIVITY block is added to the selected layout.
  1. In the UTR Block Selection panel, use F8 to scroll to the label BUFFER POOL ACTIVITY. Notice that there are two blocks with this label. Press F5 to display a brief description of the block's content, as shown in the following figure. In this example, the column form is chosen.

     1.  To change the contents of a block, select the Modify column
     2.  To include and order, modify/add a number in the Order column
     3.  To exclude a block, blank out the Order column

  2. Enter a number in the Order column next to the block label to determine the relative position of the added block to the existing blocks.

    In this example, a number between 10 and 20 determines that the BUFFER POOL ACTIVITY block is printed after the GENERAL block and before the PACKAGE GENERAL block. A number less than 10 would add the BUFFER POOL ACTIVITY block before the GENERAL block.

  3. To see which fields can be included in the added block, enter a selection character (/) in the Modify column next to the block label.
    The UTR Field Selection panel is displayed.

    Command ===> __________________________________________________________________
     F1=Help      F2=Split     F3=Exit      F5=Extend    F6=Qualify   F7=Up
     F8=Down      F9=Swap     F10=Config   F11=Filler   F12=Cancel
    

    Similar to the UTR Block Selection panel, use F7 (Up) and F8 (Down) to scroll through the list of fields and F5 (Extend) to display extended field descriptions. The Order column determines the order of the fields within a block. A value of 99999 means that a field is not selected.

  4. For this example, assume that all fields of the BUFFER POOL ACTIVITY block are selected by default. Because no fields need to be added or deleted, press F12 (Cancel) to return to the UTR Block Selection panel.
