There is a special field on the Active User Display that can indicate whether a report has been viewed, or how many times a report has been viewed. This can be useful if you think reports may not be required online, or when a report is being kept online for a longer duration than is necessary without actually being used. If this is so, it makes sense to archive the report and move it to the History file (from where it can be restored by the user if it is required, thus saving on valuable DASD resource). The value of the View Indicator field is determined by the value set for the Profile Symbol SUSRVEW in the User Profile member. There are three possible values for the View Indicator profile, as follows:
