RACF® makes it easy for you to create ICETOOL reports by using the RACFICE PROC, a procedure contained in the IRRICE member of SYS1.SAMPLIB. IRRICE uses DFSORT statements for the selection criteria and ICETOOL statements for the report format for all the reports. The IEBUPDTE utility processes the IRRICE member and creates a data set that contains the report formats and record selection criteria.

Each report consists of these two members of this PDS:
  • The report format
  • The record selection criteria
