Using the Permanent User Report List File as a Reference Index

For many sites it is important to keep an index of all the unique reports a user has received. For example, an end user calls the computer department to advise that a report that is normally sent was not received. You may have suspicions that they have never received this report before. By checking the Permanent User Report List file, you can check if this report has ever been allocated to this recipient.

In effect, the Permanent User Report List file becomes a catalogue of all unique reports a recipient has received. To create and maintain the information in this file we use the CTDCA2P utility (Copy Active To Permanent).
