Defining a Generic User Name List

Control‑D provides an option to specify a generic user name in the report decollation definition. For a detailed description, see the DO USER parameter in the Control‑D and Control‑V User Guide. This option defines a generic name that describes a group of users (for example, all the branches of the bank, senior management, or financial controllers).

A generic user name list resides in a PDS member. The name of the member is referenced in the DO USER statement, preceded by an asterisk (for example, *BRANCHES). The member must be in a library referenced by DD statement DAGENUSR of the User Daily job (or CTDNDAY). Although, it is possible to use a few generic user name libraries in a distributed environment, it is generally recommended that you use only one to simplify the administration.

Each member in the library represents a generic user name. The contents of the member are lines in the following format:

• column 01 to 05 – TUSER (that is, constant value TUSER)
• column 06 to 09 – blank
• column 10 to 11 – level code of the user (for example, recipient) as defined in the Recipient Tree
• column 12 to 31 – user name

One line is required for each user. Additional lines in the member are not permitted. Do not use columns 73 to 80. Each line must describe a valid user name in the Recipient Tree. Use the main user name, not a synonym.

The following is an example of the member BRANCHES:
