Report Utility:

Produces attractive printed reports from specific data fields within formatted input.

This input may originate from any one of the following sources:

  • Data sets, library members or HFS/ZFS files where records are mapped by a specified SELCOPYi SDO structure, HLASM DSECT, COBOL or PL/1 copybook.

  • SMF data sets. SMF records are mapped by the SELCOPYi SDO structures provided by SELCOPYi SMF Utilities.

  • A DB2 result table produced by a specific or SELCOPYi generated SQL query statement.

In addition to generating printable reports, the REPORT utility may use the same report definition input to generate output in CSV, XML or JSON formats.
