How to use control statements

This topic describes purpose and syntax of the control statements that you can use to create Postprocessor reports. Table 1 gives a summary of the available control statements. It also indicates which control statements are required and which you can omit to accept a default value.

Supply the control statements after the SYSIN DD statement in the job you submit to start the Postprocessor.

Note:
  1. If the default value is acceptable, you need not specify the control statement explicitly.
  2. You must specify the control statement explicitly.
  3. You cannot request duration reports concurrently with interval reports; each type of report requires a separate Postprocessor session. However, you can request duration reports concurrently with exception generated interval reports and summary and exception reports concurrently with either duration or interval reports.

The remainder of this topic describes the control statements in alphabetical order.
