Report header layout panels (ERB3RD4 and ERB3RD5)

Press ENTER to display the next panel, ERB3RD4, the Report Header Layout panel.

Each RMF™ report contains report headings, subheadings, and columns that you can modify. The Report Header Layout panels (ERB3RD4 and ERB3RD5) allow you to change up to 2 header lines for the tabular and graphic versions of the report.

On the first of these panels (ERB3RD4), you can specify the header lines and header variables for your report. At the bottom of the panel, enter the header lines exactly as you want them to appear on your report. You can use the variables listed on the panel to appear in the headings of your report. (Panel ERB3RD4 lists variables from header data table ERBHDRS3. For the meaning of all variables in ERBHDRS3, see Monitor III data reporter tables.)

If a variable name is too long to enter in the header line, you can use a placeholder (&Z). After you press ENTER, you define these placeholders with variable names on the next panel.

Figure 1 is an example of a report format definition panel ERB3RD4 that shows you the headings and variables for the SYSINFO report with the modified report title CPU Information:

Figure 1. Report Header Layout Panel (ERB3RD4)

ERB3RD4                 RMF Report Format Definition
Command ===>

Report Name: SYSCPU     WLM Mode: GOAL          Section 3: Report Header Layout

Enter or change the report header lines.  To continue press ENTER.
To quit enter CANCEL. To go backwards press END.

You may intermix: text, variables, and variable placeholders (&Z).
If you specify variable placeholders (&Z) the next panel will ask you
to specify the variable name that is to replace each &Z

The following variables are available for use in the header:
  &ERBSID     &ERBSAMPL   &ERBTIME    &ERBRMFVD   &ERBSNUM
  &ERBHCTXT   &ERBDATE    &ERBRANGE   &ERBSPXID   &ERBSAMWL

Variables ERBSID, ERBDATE, ERBTIME and ERBRANGE will be supported as input
fields only, if they are part of second header line.

Enter or change up to two report heading lines:

           &ERBHCTXT    &ERBRMFVD  CPU Information
Samples: &Z      System: &Z    Date: &ERBDATE  Time: &ERBTIME  Range: &Z    Sec

In Figure 1, two report header lines appear at the bottom of the panel and ten variable names are available for the header lines.

Variables &ERBHCTXT and &ERBRMFVD are specified at the beginning of the first header line.
Variables &ERBDATE and &ERBTIME are specified for Date and Time.
Placeholders (&Z) for the other variables (&ERBSID for session id, &ERBSAMPL for samples, and &ERBRANGE for range) appear in the appropriate fields of the header lines and indicate that the variable names they represent might not fit in the space provided. These placeholders can be defined on the next panel.

Press ENTER to display the second Report Header Layout panel (ERB3RD5).

On ERB3RD5, you can specify variable names for any Z placeholders you have used. The headings, variables names, and placeholders as you entered them on ERB3RD4 appear at the top of the panel. The variable names appear under the headings in the order specified on ERB3RD4. You can specify your own variable names in the spaces provided; however, in order for RMF to display the user-specified variables during a report session, they must be in the function pool for phase 3 or in the shared ISPF variable pool. Otherwise, blanks appear in the report. See Installing your own phases.

You must specify a number for each Z placeholder and its corresponding variable. Numbers must start with 1 and continue in sequence. There must be a one-to-one correspondence between placeholders and variable names, each pair with a unique number assigned to indicate the order of placement of the variable.

Figure 2 is an example of Report Header Layout panel ERB3RD5 that defines the placeholders used on the previous panel. If you do not have placeholders to define, press ENTER to get the next panel.

Figure 2. Report Header Layout Panel (ERB3RD5)

ERB3RD5                 RMF Report Format Definition
Command ===>

Report Name: SYSCPU                             Section 3: Report Header Layout
WLM Mode:    GOAL

The following report header lines have been specified:
           &ERBHCTXT    &ERBRMFVD  CPU Information
Samples: Z1      System: Z2    Date: &ERBDATE  Time: &ERBTIME  Range: Z3    Sec

Specify the placeholder (Z) number next to the variable name to replace each Z
above.To continue press ENTER.To go backwards press END.To quit enter CANCEL.


     &ERBSID   ===> 2            &ERBHCTXT ===> __           &ERBSAMPL ===> 1
     &ERBDATE  ===> __           &ERBTIME  ===> __           &ERBRANGE ===> 3
     &ERBRMFVD ===> __           &ERBSPXID ===> __           &ERBSNUM  ===> __
     &ERBSAMWL ===> __      ===> _________ ===> __      ===> _________ ===> __
===> _________ ===> __      ===> _________ ===> __      ===> _________ ===> __

Variable &ERBSAMPL that contains the number of samples replaces Z1.
Variable &ERBSID that contains the session id replaces Z2 in the first header line of the report.
&ERBRANGE that contains the range value replaces Z3 in the second header line.

Depending on your selection on panel ERB3RD3, you will continue as follows:

If you specified TABULAR or BOTH for report mode, RMF displays the Report Subheader Layout panel ERB3RD6.
If you specified GRAPHIC for report mode, RMF displays the Graphic Parameter Definition panel ERB3RDB, see Graphic parameter definition panels (ERB3RDB, ERB3RDC, ERB3RDD).
