The following information can be helpful when deciding how to retrieve indexed reports:
In general, the Quick Access Method is more efficient in terms of the time and resources required for retrieval. This is especially true if some or all of the required indexes have migrated and are no longer on DASD.
Each Index and Subindex window provides the maximum information about indexes available at the next level in an index path but these windows provide no information about other index levels. Each Quick Access panel provides the maximum information about one index path but that panel provides no information about other index paths.
When viewing or printing reports, there are advantages if all the selected reports have the same nonresident main index, or have the same DASD-resident main index and contain exactly the same main index value or prefix. For more information, see Hit List Method.
If a user’s access to Control-V is limited to Direct Online Viewing (DOLV) and BYPASS PANEL is set to Q in the User Reports entry panel, the first screen displayed is the Quick Access Report list (if the user has several reports), or the Quick Access panels (if the user has only one report).
