Step 5: Generating a Threshold Summary Report

Use the following example to produce threshold summary reports:

EXAMPLE JCL	EXPLANATION
`//STEP5 EXEC PGM=IFCEREP1,PARM='CARD'`	Execute IFCEREP1 with the parameters in the SYSIN DD statement, see Table 1.
`//ACCIN DD DSN=EHISTORY,DISP=(OLD,PASS)`	Define the history input data set. EHISTORY is the data set created in Step 1: Creating a History Data Set. Multiple history data sets can be concatenated on this DD statement.
`//DIRECTWK DD UNIT=SYSDA, // SPACE=(CYL,(10,10))`	Define and allocate DASD space for the temporary work data set needed to process history (ACCIN) input records.
`//EREPPT DD SYSOUT=A,DCB=BLKSIZE=133`	Define and allocate space for the output data set that holds the EREP report.
`//TOURIST DD SYSOUT=A,DCB=BLKSIZE=133`	Define and allocate space for the output data set that holds EREP messages and processing information.
`//SYSIN DD DSN=EREP.PARMS(STEP5), // DISP=(OLD,PASS)`	Define the data set containing the EREP parameters needed for this step. The contents of the parameter data set, EREP.PARMS(STEP5), are listed below.
`// DD DSN=EREP.CONTROLS, // DISP=(OLD,PASS)`	Define the data set containing the EREP control statements needed for all reports, see Table 1. EREP uses only those that apply to the report requested in this step.
`/*`	This delimiter is optional; refer to the JCL manual for your MVS system.

EREP.PARMS(STEP5) contains the following EREP parameters:

EREP PARAMETERS	EXPLANATION
`THRESHOLD=(001,015)`	Request a threshold summary.
`HIST`	Input records are in the history data set.
`ACC=N`	No history data set generated. The default value for ACC with THRESHOLD is N—an exception to the rule—but it is wise to code the parameter anyway.
`ENDPARM`	End of parameters. `ENDPARM` must begin on column 1. Parameters may be indented.

Important: The system exception series is a replacement for the threshold summary. Consider switching to the system exception series.
