Identify Report Output

Either create reports directly to compressed datasets using the CDAM Direct Write facility, or create report output on spool as you do currently. You have to specify to Control-D exactly where to find the report output that you want to decollate.

Jobs That Write Directly to CDAM Datasets

When decollating from CDAM datasets, you use special parameters that tell Control-D which CDAM datasets you want to decollate. These parameters are called the CDAM retrieval parameters. Any retrieval parameters entered in the DSN field are merged with the parameters specified in the ON DSN field. We will examine these parameters in greater detail in Phase 6.
