%JOBID%

Job ID (in JES) that created the report.

%DATE%

Current date (at printing time).

%TIME%

Current time.

%ODATE%

Original scheduling date of the report.

%PAGES%

Number of pages (for each type of banner and for the index).

%LINES%

Number of lines (for each type of banner and for the index).

%DEST%

Printing (JES) destination.

%LASTUSER%

Last user (used in END banners).

%COPIES%

Number of copies to be printed (for report banner and for the index).

%CURRCOP%

Current printing copy (of the copies) (for report banner only).

%FROMPAGE%

From page printed.

%TOPAGE%

Until page printed.

%OUSER%

Name of the user who requested the print.

Note: This variable applies to immediate print banners only.

%FROMUSER%

Name of the recipient from whom the report is received. The variable is applied to report banners only.

%REMARK%

Decollation remark (in Active User List file).

%REMARK2%

Continuation of decollation remark (in Active User List file).

%REMARK3%

Continuation of decollation remark (in Active User List file).

%RULER%

Name of the ruler being used to print the report. (If no ruler is being used, no RULER is printed.)

%GROUP%

Printing GROUP (from the printing mission definition).

%GLOBALn%

The nth line of member $$GLOBAL (where n is an integer from 1 to 10).

The Control‑D Banners library contains member $$GLOBAL. This member can contain from 1 to 10 lines of data. When parameter %GLOBALn% is specified in the banner page, the nth line from this member is placed in the banner page.

This parameter can be used to distribute NEWS to all report recipients.

%DATAn%

The nth line of a member whose name is identical to one of the following, depending on the value of the DATA parameter:

• the user name (not the synonym) in the Recipient Tree or the online UserID depending on the value of the ADDR parameter
• the first eight characters of the report’s name
• the first eight characters of the report’s REMARK field

Valid values for n are: 1 to 10.

The Control‑D Banners library can contain a member for each report, report recipient, or online user. This member can contain from 1 to 10 lines of data. When the %DATAn% variable is specified, the nth line from the corresponding member is placed in the banner page. Control‑D does not expect to find such a member for every user or report.

This parameter can be used for special distribution instructions for a user or a report. For more information see sample members BMIAMI and UNIDENT in the BANNER library.

%ADDRn%

The nth address line of the current user (recipient) in the tree. Valid values for n: 1 to 10.

The Control‑D Recipient Tree can contain address lines that can be inserted in the banner page of this user. Any text can be entered in these address lines. A maximum of ten address lines can be specified per user. Control‑D does not expect to find such lines for each user.

A common use of this parameter is for the user address, to which the bundle must be delivered.

Note: For performance reasons, BMC recommends that you use variable %ADDRn% instead of variable %DATAn% whenever possible because %ADDRn% data is located in memory and %DATA is in a library, member.

%LASTADDRn%

Used in the End user banner to print the address of the last user, which has already printed. This variable is identical to %ADDRn% and is supported for backward compatibility.
