Comments

  • Several enhancements have been made to ODF:
    
    1. Banner in separate SYSOUT dataset
    
    Allow users the option of creating a  SYSOUT dataset for banner
    pages separate from the report.  A new ODF parm in the ars.cfg
    file, ARSODF_BANNER_ALLOC_PARMS, has been added to specify the
    allocation information to use when allocating the banner sysout
    datasets.  When ARSODF_BANNER_ALLOC_PARMS is specified, ODF will
    allocate a separate SYSOUT dataset for all banner pages for all
    distributions. The SYSOUT dataset will be allocated using the
    values specified in ARSODF_BANNER_ALLOC_PARMS and the class
    and destination specified in the report bundle definition.
    
    Example use:
    
    ARSODF_BANNER_ALLOC_PARMS=FORMDEF(DUMMY)
    
    In addition a new banner page type E has been added to indicate
    the end of the distribution.  When ARSODF_BANNER_ALLOC_PARMS is
    specified, the Banner exit will be called with type E.  Users
    will need to update their banner exit to either create an end
    of distribution page or set ARSRBAN-RETURN-FLAG to N.
    
    Note:  When using this parameter you should also specify report
    break yes on your distributions that contain multiple report
    
    2. SQL Precheck
    
    Add an SQL precheck option to the ODF main task.  This option
    will ensure that the SQL statement specified in the report
    bundle definition is found in the available report before
    creating the processed report request.  This option will
    eliminate processed report bundles ending in ARS04414E and
    distributions ending in error because the SQL specified was not
    found in the report.  A new parameter, ARSODF_Precheck_SQL,
    has been added to the ars.cfg file
    
    Example:
    
    ARSODF_Precheck_SQL=1
    
    3. ARSRDFGO enhancement
    
    Add an option to create the Distribution Request only if
    if reports are available for processing.  Currently ARSRDFGO
    always creates the request record.  If no reports are available
    the distribution request will remain active until a new report
    is loaded and then will be processed.  This will allow users to
    schedule external distribution if reports have been loaded.
    
    A new parameter, RPTS-AVAIL, has been added to ARSRDFGO.
    
    Example:
    
    //CARDIN DD *
    RECIPIENT=RECIPEINT1
    DIST-NAME=DISTRIBUTION1
    RPTS-AVAIL=1
    
    4. Monitor Enhancements
    
    When the option Complete Distribution is selected, any processed
    report bundles for this distribution waiting to print will also
    be marked complete.
    
    Keep cursor positioned on row selected unless the row contents
    have changed.  On several panels the panel was refreshed and
    cursor jumped to command line.
