Viewing with Control-V
This chapter includes the following topics:
Overview
This chapter is intended for Control-V users only. If you are not a Control-V user, you can skip this chapter.
Control-V is a software product that provides online access to archived reports through indexed data retrieval. This chapter discusses how pages of Control-V-indexed reports can be selected for viewing. In this chapter, you will do the following:
- Look at Control-V User Reports entry panel display types.
- Retrieve pages of a report based on index values.
- Learn about viewing migrated reports.
Control-V Entry Panel Display Types
This exercise helps you learn about the Control-V Online Viewing facility and its entry panel fields.
Begin
-
Enter the Online Viewing facility.
The User Reports entry panel is displayed.
-
Type DI A in the COMMAND field and press Enter.
Display type A (All Fields) of the entry panel is displayed.

SELECT AN OPTION, FILL IN THE SELECTION CRITERIA, AND PRESS ENTER 14.13.49Display type A is analogous to the Control-D display type E (Extended) entry panel, except that it also contains the following Control-V fields:
Table 19 Control-V Fields in the User Reports Entry Panel
Field
Meaning
MIGRATED
Control-V reports typically migrate from DASD to cartridge or other less expensive media for long term storage. Reports that have not yet migrated are called "active," but both active and migrated reports can be retrieved for online viewing.
Valid Values:
- Y (Yes): Lists both active and migrated reports in the User Report list.
- N (No): Lists active reports only. Specify O (Only) to list migrated reports only.
Default: Y
INDEX
This field enables you to specify a name, prefix or mask that is to be compared with the name assigned to each main index of a Control-V report. Each report can have from 0 to 9 main indexes. Up to three main indexes can remain disk-resident after a report migrates.
Mask characters are symbols that can be used to represent any characters in this field.
- ?: represents any one character.
- *: represents any number of adjacent characters (including no characters).
VALUE
Enables you to specify a value or prefix that is to be compared with the values in a main index. If only one value in a resident index matches this field, that value is used to select report pages or sections for the View and Print commands.
An abbreviated display type analogous to the Control-D display type D (Default) is available for Control-V. This display type, display type V, contains the Control-V fields just described. It is the default display type for Control-V.
-
Type DI V in the COMMAND field and press Enter to display the default Control-V entry panel.

Using Index Values to Select Active Report Pages
You can use Control-V index values to select specific pages for report viewing. To do this, first request only active (not yet migrated or "unmigrated") reports from the entry panel.
Begin
-
Enter DEMO in the USER field. Enter N in the SHOW MIGRATED field. Set DISPLAY TYPE to D and BYPASS PANEL to N (their default values), as shown in the following screen.

You can see that the INVENTORY REPORT is an indexed report with two main indexes: WAREHOUSE and ITEM-DESC. You can select one of these main indexes, and display its values.
Displaying the Values of Index Panel
Assume that you are interested in a specific item (RIVET D. 0.5 BCR), and want to retrieve only those report pages that contain that item. You must therefore select the ITEM-DESC main index and display its values.
Begin
-
In the Index window, enter S in the OPTION field (the entry column under the O) to the left of ITEM-DESC.
-
Press Enter to display the Values of Index panel for the ITEM-DESC index.

Using Quick Access Panels
Before learning how to use the Quick Access panels for this report, examine the report’s index structure and hierarchies, as illustrated below:
Figure 156 Index Structure and Hierarchies of Example Report
WAREHOUSE ITEM-DESC
/ \ |
/ \ |
/ \ |
ITEM-NUM ITEM-DESC WAREHOUSEWAREHOUSE is a main index, with subindexes to ITEM-NUM (item number) and ITEM-DESC (item description). Thus, for any warehouse, you can link to any item in that warehouse by its number or description.
ITEM-DESC is also a main index, with the subindex WAREHOUSE. Thus for any named item (that is, item description) you can link to the warehouses that contain that item.
The Quick Access panel displays a main index and beneath it one of its subindexes.
Begin
