Reports and Files

Various reports can be generated enabling you to assess the exact impact of data propagation to all objects in the repository. Each report or file provides a different degree of details.

Files can be created as a CSV files that can be manipulated as XLS files using Microsoft Excel.

Within the scope of Data Propagation, these reports are of interest:

DATA: Corresponding programs and instructions
DATA: Corresponding programs and instructions (direct use)
DATA: Utilization inventory
DATA-IMPACT: list of cpybk+objs+source
DATA-IMPACT: List of impacted objects
DATA-IMPACT: list of pgms+objs+source
Data Level 01
DATA or OBJECTS: Corresponding source
Data Parent
DATA-STATISTICS: data utilization statistics
FILE: File buffer's description
FILE: Program accesses (sorted by filename)
FILE-OP: JCL (sorted by access)
PROGRAM: File buffer's description
Propagation Results
Propagation Result Set
Start Item
VALUE: Corresponding Programs and instructions
VALUE: Corresponding Programs and instructions (filtered)

IA DATA: Corresponding Programs and Instructions

This report and the Corresponding Programs and Instructions (direct use) report are similar, but this one additionally shows instructions that reference synonyms of the impacted data items. Synonyms are data items that are impacted through assignments (for example MOVE statements). This is an example:

IA DATA: Corresponding Programs and Instructions (direct use)

This report shows, by program, the impacted data items, their definition and location. It also shows the instructions that directly reference the data items. This is an example:

IA DATA: Utilization Inventory

For each impacted data item, this report shows the format of the data item, the upper level of its definition, the location of its definition, and the instructions in which the data item or its synonyms is/are referenced. This is an example:

If an instruction is too long to be displayed in the report, this is indicated by ‘...’ and if you want to see the full instructions, you can generate the report as a CSV file. This is the same report in the CSV file format:
