VRSS report

The VRSS report, as shown in Figure 1, summarizes details from the VRS report. The VRSS report provides a summary of all the data sets that have changed during the current run of inventory management. You can use the report to determine if any unusual activity has taken place during vital records processing. For example, the report might show a significant number of data sets that were dropped from retention by vital record specifications. You might want to check that the vital record specifications you have defined are defined correctly.

The VRSS report lists the number of data sets that are in each vital record specification status category.

The data columns in the VRSS report provide the following information:

Status Change: The new vital record status. The status is DROPPED or RETAINED.
Drop Reason: The reason that a vital record specification no longer retains a data set. See ACTIVITY file record: EDGACTRC for the drop reasons.
COUNT: The number of data sets with the same status and drop reason.
