Report format information panel (ERB3RD3)

If you have entered a name for PHASE 3 SELECT STRING on ERB3RD2, RMF™ next displays the Report Format Information panel (ERB3RD3). This panel is the first in a series of panels that allows you to change the header and subheader layout of an RMF report.

On this panel (ERB3RD3), you can specify tabular or graphic, or both the tabular and graphic displays for the report, the panel name of the tabular version of the report, or specify the name of a report help panel.

Figure 1 is an example of a Report Format Information panel for the SYSINFO report:

Enter the following information.  To continue press ENTER.
To quit enter CANCEL. To go backwards press END.


REPORT MODE          ===> BOTH         TABULAR, GRAPHIC or BOTH


PANEL NAME           ===> ERB4CPU      Name of tabular report panel


HELP PANEL NAME      ===> ERB4CPU0     Name of HELP panel


LOGICAL LINE NUMBER  ===> SYSDTLLN     Name of table variable
SEQUENCE NUMBER      ===> SYSDTPSN     Name of table variable

The panel fields and their meanings are as follows:

REPORT MODE

Specifies the display mode for the report. Valid values are as follows:

TABULAR
GRAPHIC
BOTH

PANEL NAME

Specifies the name of the ISPF display panel for the tabular version of the report when you enter TABULAR or BOTH for REPORT MODE.

For a tabular report, you must specify the name of the display panel that is to contain the report information. RMF-supplied panel names that you can use are ERB3DSI (if you are modifying or using the DI screen as a prototype), ERB3SRR (if you are modifying or using the STORR delay report as a prototype), ERB3SYS (if you are modifying or using the SYSINFO report as a prototype), ERB3WFX (if you are modifying or using the WFEX report as a prototype), or ERB3CMN (if you are modifying or using any other report as a prototype).

If you specify the name of your own panel, make sure that the panel includes the following information:

Output fields for 2 standard header lines (DSPHDR1 and DSPHDR2)
Output fields for up to 5 subheader lines (DSPSUBH1 - DSPSUBH5) contained in the RMF report you want to modify
Output fields for up to 3 column header lines (FMTCOLH1 -FMTCOLH3) contained in the RMF report you want to modify. For a description of the report format table ERBFMTS3, see Monitor III data reporter tables.
Up to 3 model line variables (FMTMODL1 - FMTMODL3) contained in the model section of the RMF report you want to modify. For a description of the entries in the report format table ERBFMTS3, see Monitor III data reporter tables.
The command line (defined by variable ZCMD) and scroll amount field (defined by variable AMT)

Also, ensure that the user-defined panel for your report includes an initialization (INIT), reinitialization (REINIT), and processing (PROC) section as in the RMF-supplied panels.

If you enter GRAPHIC for REPORT MODE, leave PANEL NAME blank.

HELP PANEL NAME

When you enter a value for PANEL NAME, specifies the name of the ISPF help panel that contains help information for your report. The field is optional.

LOGICAL LINE NUMBER/SEQUENCE NUMBER

Specifies the name of key variables in the data table of the RMF report you are modifying. A logical line number identifies a logical group of related data rows within a report; a line sequence number identifies each physical table row that belongs to the logical group.

The logical line number (that identifies the entire data group) is 1; the sequence number (the number of physical lines that belong to the logical group and include the volume serial/device type on one line and the space type on the second line of the graphic report) is 2 or more.

When you toggle between tabular and graphic reports, RMF uses these variables to synchronize the line or bar displayed on the screen (the beginning of a logical group of data table rows). For examples of RMF report data tables, see Monitor III data reporter tables.
