General Information

When DO CTBRULE is specified, balancing is performed by the Control-M/Analyzer Runtime environment according to the specified rule definition and using the specified arguments.

When Control-V calls a Control-M/Analyzer rule, Control-M/Analyzer system variable SYSOPT contains one of the values in Table 211, which represent the stages of Control-V processing.

Table 211 Control-M/Analyzer System Variable SYSOPT Values

Value	Description
CTDFIRST	Control-V starts scanning the report pages. Report pages have not yet been sent to Control-M/Analyzer for processing.
CTDWORK	Report pages that match Control-V WHEN criteria are being sent to, and processed by, Control-M/Analyzer.
CTDLAST	SYSOPT contains this value after all report pages have been processed, only if that parameter DO TERMINAT has not been specified during the CTDFIRST and CTDWORK stages.

Variable SYSOPT can be tested within the Control-M/Analyzer rule definition to determine if Control-V invoked the Control-M/Analyzer Runtime environment.

When the Control-M/Analyzer Runtime environment is invoked by Control-V (that is, Control-M/Analyzer System variable SYSOPT is set to CTDFIRST, CTDWORK or CTDLAST), Control-M/Analyzer analyzes and balances report pages. Control-M/Analyzer can return information to Control-V by entering one of the following statements:

DO TERMINAT NOTOK: Control-D responds as if Control-D parameter DO NOTOK was specified.
DO REMARK: The first 16 characters of the Control-M/Analyzer remark are used as the Control-D remark.

For more information about invoking Control-M/Analyzer rules from report decollating mission definitions, see "Interface to Control-D" in Chapter 10 of the Control-M/Analyzer User Guide.
