This is a required parameter.
| Top |
Report title (TITLE)
Specifies the title for the report that is created.
- *MBR
- The text of the database member, which contains the performance data, is the report title.
- character-value
- Specify the title you want on your report with up to 50 characters of text, enclosed in apostrophes.
| Top |
Time period for report (PERIOD)
Specifies the period of time on which to report. The parameter consists of four elements: a starting time and date, and an ending time and date. Data collected prior to the starting time on the starting date and after the ending time on the ending date is not included in the report.
The symbol *N can be used to designate the default value for any of the four elements.
Element 1: Starting time and date
Element 1: Starting time
- *FIRST
- Data records starting from the beginning of the first day (00:00:00) of the collection period are included.
- *SELECT
- An interval selection screen is displayed from which you can select one or more intervals for inclusion. This value is valid only in the interactive environment. If this value is used, the remaining values of this parameter (starting time and date and ending time and date) are ignored.
- time
- Specify the time of the first data record to include in the report, using the format, hhmm or hhmmss, where hh is the hours, mm is the minutes, and ss is the seconds.
The time is specified in 24-hour format with or without a time separator:
- Without a time separator, specify a string of 4 or 6 digits (hhmm or hhmmss) where hh = hours, mm = minutes, and ss = seconds.
- With a time separator, specify a string of 5 or 8 digits where the time separator specified for your job is used to separate the hours, minutes, and seconds. If you enter this command from the command line, the string must be enclosed in apostrophes. If a time separator other than the separator specified for your job is used, this command will fail.
Element 2: Starting date
- *FIRST
- Data records starting from the first day of the collection period are included in the report.
- date
- Specify the date of the first data record to include in the report. The date must be entered in the format specified by the system value QDATFMT, and if separators are used, as specified by the system value QDATSEP.

Element 1: Ending time
- *LAST
- Data records through the end of the day (23:59:59) are included in the report.
- time
- Specify the time of the last data record to include in the report. Use the same format used for the starting time.
Element 2: Ending date
- *LAST
- Data records through the last day of the collection period are included in the report.

Select jobs (SLTJOB)
Specifies a list of up to 50 jobs to be included in the report. Only specified jobs are included in the report.
Individual jobs are identified by a "job identifier." A job identifier is either the special value *ALL or a qualified name that consists of up to three qualifiers: a job number, a user name, and a job name. Job identifiers are written in the form, job-number/user-name/job-name, but all three qualifiers do not have to be specified. The symbol *N can be used as a placeholder for up to two of the qualifiers of the job identifier.
Note: This parameter and the Omit jobs (OMTJOB) parameter are mutually exclusive.
Single values
- *ALL
- All jobs in the collected data are included, unless excluded by another selection value.
Other values (up to 50 repetitions)
Element 1: Job name
Qualifier 1: Job name

- Specify the generic job name of the jobs to select.
Note: A generic name is a character string that contains one or more characters followed by an asterisk(*), for example, ABC*. The asterisk substitutes for any valid characters. A generic name specifies all objects with names that begin with the generic prefix for which the user has authority. If an asterisk is not included with the generic name, the system assumes it to be the complete object name.
- name
- Specify the job name of the job to select. Because jobs may have identical job names, this value may not identify a specific job.
Qualifier 2: User
- name
- Specify the user name of the jobs to select. Because jobs may have identical user names, this value may not identify a specific job.
Qualifier 3: Number
- 000000-999999
- Specify the 6-digit number of a job to select. All six digits must be specified, including zeros.
Element 2: Thread
Element 1: Thread
- *ALL
- All threads are included, unless excluded by some other selection criterion.
- character-value
- Specify the thread identifier to select. Because some jobs can have identical thread identifiers, this value may not identify a specific job.
| Top |
Omit jobs (OMTJOB)
Specifies a list of up to 50 jobs to be omitted from the report.
Individual jobs are identified by a "job identifier." A job identifier is either the special value *NONE or a qualified name that consists of up to three qualifiers: a job number, a user name, and a job name. Job identifiers are written in the form, job-number/user-name/job-name, but all three qualifiers do not have to be specified. The symbol *N can be used as a placeholder for up to two of the qualifiers of the job identifier.
Note: This parameter and the Select jobs (SLTJOB) parameter are mutually exclusive.

Note: A generic name is a character string that contains one or more characters followed by an asterisk(*), for example, ABC*. The asterisk substitutes for any valid characters. A generic name specifies all objects with names that begin with the generic prefix for which the user has authority. If an asterisk is not included with the generic name, the system assumes it to be the complete object name.
- name
- Specify the job name of the job to omit. Because jobs may have identical job names, this value may not identify a specific job.
Qualifier 2: User

A generic name specifies all objects with names that begin with the generic prefix for which the user has authority. If an asterisk is not included with the generic name, the system assumes it to be the complete object name.

Examples
Example 1: Printing a Report
PRTSYSRPT MBR(APRIL18) TYPE(*ALL)
