Post-Processing Parameters (decollating mission parameters)

Post-processing parameters define actions to be taken after the report decollating mission has finished processing the job’s outputs. The two Post-processing parameters are:

Table 200 Post-Processing Parameters

Parameter	Description
OUT	Defines a list of prerequisite conditions to be added or deleted after the report decollating mission finishes executing OK. These prerequisite conditions can be referred to by IN statements of other missions (such as printing missions).
SHOUT	Specifies messages to be sent to specified destinations upon the occurrence of specific events. Currently, OK, NOTOK and LATE are supported.

Various internal Control-V rules are applied to determine whether or not the report decollating mission ended OK. The most significant events that cause a NOTOK indication are:

When NOTOK is specifically declared in a DO NOTOK statement. For more information, see "DO NOTOK" later in this chapter.
When no sysout is selected by the ON statements (for example, when someone purges the job’s reports from the spool or from the compressed datasets). However, an installation parameter can be set to avoid a NOTOK status in this situation.
When any page in the reports decollated by the report decollating mission is unidentified.

There are other events that can cause a NOTOK status (for example, no space for compressed reports, spool I/O error). When a NOTOK status is encountered, use the L (Log) option of the Control-V Active Missions screen to receive a list of reasons for the NOTOK status.

Note: Prerequisite conditions can also be added or deleted and SHOUT messages can also be sent using DO COND and DO SHOUT statements. For more information, see DO COND: Decollating Parameter (decollating mission) and DO SHOUT: Post-Processing Parameter (decollating mission).
