The report name must end with D (that is, suffix). |

All report names are selected. |
A?B1 |
The report name must begin with prefix A and end with suffix B1. Any one character can be present between the prefix and the suffix. |
Following the +++repname line, one or more printing characteristic parameter lines may follow. The printing characteristics parameters must start in column one.
Any number of +++repname lines can be present in one member, depending on the reports to be processed.
For example, when using the OUTPARM option by job name, consider the following report decollating mission parameters:
JOBNAME=GPLUPDAT
... DO NAME=UPDATE REPORT
... DO NAME=DUMP - JOB ABEND
The member GPLUPDAT in the OUTPARMS library can contain the following:
+++UPDATE REPORT
CHARS=GS10
PAGEDEF=UPDEF
+++DUMP - JOB ABEND
CHARS=DUMP
PAGEDEF=FOURUP
When Control-D prints the report named UPDATE REPORT, the printing characteristics specified on the two lines that follow the +++UPDATE REPORT line are assigned to the report. This means that a specific font (GS10) and a special page definition (UPDEF) are assigned to that report.
When Control-D prints the report named DUMP – JOB ABEND, the printing characteristics are different. In this example, the printing characteristics might be a PAGEDEF that prints 4-up. If the update job abends, the dump are printed 4-up to save paper. The appropriate font is also specified.
A sample member SAMPLE can be found in the OUTPARMS library.
Not every report requires special processing using the OUTPARM option. Use it only for reports that require special processing.
