If you want to add or delete lines in an existing RMF™ report or sort lines of a report without modifying
the report heading, consider the following when you use the report
format definition utility:
- Each RMF report data table
(PHDRTAB1 in the phase driver table) contains the ISPF key type variables
for the logical line number and line sequence number for the report.
Each data table lists the logical lines and the sequence number(s)
for logical lines of data in the report in ascending order. Sequence
numbers for each logical line begin with 1. When you add, delete,
or sort lines of an RMF report,
be sure that the output table of your report (PHASE 1 or 2 TABLE on
phase driver information panel ERB3RD2) arranges logical line and
sequence numbers in ascending order.
- If you delete a line of a report with sequence number 1, you must
also delete the logical line number of the report from the data table.
- If you want to rearrange the lines of an RMF report, you can use the ISPF service TBSORT as
part of the CLIST you specify for phase 2. You can specify the CLIST
with TBSORT on the phase driver information panel (ERB3RD2) as follows:
CMD(mysort)
where “mysort” is the name of your CLIST.
