Using EDGRPTD to create reports

The DFSMSrmm utility EDGRPTD produces reports from the extract data set created using the EDGHSKP utility. Run storage location management before you create the extract data set to ensure that the extract data set contains the most current information about volumes that should move within the library, between the library and storage locations, or among storage locations. Use EDGRPTD to create inventory reports, movement reports, and scratch list reports.

Inventory reports for auditing the physical contents of the installation media library and storage locations. See Using inventory reports.
Movement reports that list volumes to be moved from one location to another. Use these reports to make an inventory of your volumes and to identify volumes that need to be pulled and moved to other locations. See Using movement reports.
Scratch list reports that list scratch volumes in your installation. You can list all scratch volumes and new scratch volumes. See Using scratch list reports.

EDGRPTD reads the volume records from the extract data set and uses DFSORT to order the records to produce the reports you request.

You do not need to provide DFSORT parameters or work data sets because EDGRPTD specifies the necessary parameters for DFSORT and requests dynamic allocation of work data sets. You can combine the production of scratch reports with movement reports and inventory reports in the same run of EDGRPTD.
