General Information

Control-V can store AFPDS reports with their original print resources embedded in a new report file. Embedding print resources in the report file ensures report integrity. These reports are not affected by subsequent modifications to report format, print resources, and the ACIF environment. The new report file can be viewed by Control-D/WebAccess Server users with the AFP viewer or the CompuView Navigator under Control-D/Page On Demand.

When parameter STORE is set to Yes, the printing mission does not send SYSOUT to Spool and does not produce reports to be transferred to Control-D/WebAccess Server. Instead, it stores the print image as a new report and produces the following:

Normally, with the STORE parameter set to Y (Yes), after the new report is stored the status of the report is set to PRINTED. However, if the decollation mission that created the original report contains either a DO PRINT statement (for whole report printing) or a DO INDEX statement with the PRINT subparameter (for printing by index) defined with STORED=Y, then the report status is set to WAIT PRINT. Only after the report is processed by the print mission, specified with the STORED=Y parameter, is the status set to PRINTED. For more information, see DO PRINT: Decollating Parameter (decollating mission) and DO INDEX: Decollating Parameter (decollating mission).

The new CDAM file is allocated according to parameters specified for Control-D/WebAccess Server in the Control-V installation parameters (such as PCBLKSZ, PCPREF, PCUNIT or PCVOLS).

In addition, the print mission creates Control-V indexes based on predefined ACIF index definitions. ACIF index definitions can be specified in the Control-D ACIFPARM libraries or can be included in the AFPDS report file. For more information about converting ACIF main indexes to Control-V hierarchical indexes, see "Parameter CTVINDEXnn" in the Control-D and Control-V chapter of the INCONTROL for z/OS Administrator Guide.

Subparameters BACKUP and MIGRATE are displayed on the same line after parameter STORE. These subparameters optionally specify the name of the backup and/or migration mission that backs up or migrates the stored AFP report.

The BACKUP and MIGRATE subparameters for the new report are the same as the standard backup and migrate parameters specified for decollation missions. For more information, see DO BACKUP: Decollating Parameter (decollating mission) and DO MIGRATE: Decollating Parameter (decollating mission).
