What is Decollation?

Decollating a report, or any sysout, is primarily a process of establishing report ownership. A complete report may belong to one user, or different pages of a report may belong to different users. The decollating mission scans each page of the report for user-defined character strings that are unique to specific users and therefore indicate which user "owns" the page.

Report decollating mission parameters are defined once for each job. Control-D uses these parameters for many executions of the same decollating mission. Of course, you can modify these parameters at any time.
