Examples of control statements

The examples in this section show various uses of the Postprocessor. All the examples include the DATE statement to illustrate how the value specified for DATE relates to the value specified for RTOD, ETOD, or STOD to define the reporting period. During actual execution of the Postprocessor, your installation might find it more useful to control the dates included in the reports by controlling the contents of the input data set and omitting the DATE statement. Because the default for the DATE statement is a reporting period that encompasses all dates included in the SMF records in the input data set, omitting the DATE statement enables you to establish a set of control statements that can be used on a regular schedule without modification.

Note: Because the EXITS, SYSID, and SYSOUT statements are omitted and their defaults taken in the following examples, no user exits are entered, all systems are included in the reports, and any report and message output is sent to SYSOUT class A.
