PI92890: ADDING ABILITY TO CONTROL REPORT SELECTION VIA MODEPARM EVEN WHEN WRITING REPORTS TO DATASETS

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as new function.

Error description

• When creating JCL in Log Analysis Tool there is an option to
  write the reports to a dataset. This option only created DDs
  for the originally selected reports. If it was desired to turn
  off a report or create an additional report, it could not be
  done via the MODEPARM dataset. The JCL had to be completely
  regenerated. This enhancement will allow the reports to be
  turned off or turned on by making a simple change to the report
  parameter in the MODEPARM file even when writing reports to
  datasets. This will be accomplished by specifying all report DDs
  during JCL creation using SYSOUT=* except for the originally
  selected reports which will be written to a dataset.
