RSTACK DELIMITER

Syntax RSTACK DELIMITER = {YES NO}

Options

Table 3-41. RSTACK DELIMITER parameter options and definitions

Option

Definition

 

 

 

 

YES

Specifies that all consecutive records that satisfy the TEST criteria are treated

 

as a delimiter packet and not as data records.

 

 

NO

Specifies that this single record separates one report from another and is

 

treated as a data record.

 

 

Default NO

Point to note: You can use DELIMITER = NO to detect a record that is uniquely RSTACK recognizable as the first record of each report and have the DELIMITER record treated as a report boundary. Two common examples of

parameter this usage are:

A page heading print record that has page numbers on it such as “Page 00001” (using Constant mode criteria)

A page heading record that has a report number on it such as “Report 00001” (using Change mode Criteria).

RSTACK HRPTNA

Specifies that a subfield of the first record will be displayed on the Job Manager window on the user interface.

If DELIMITER = YES is also coded, the subfield is from the first delimiter record of the report. For DELIMITER = NO, the subfield is from the first record, even if that record does not satisfy the RSTACK test.

Syntax RSTACK HRPTNA = {(offset, length) NONE}
