Report Indexing / Line data without carriage control - how to load

« on: June 04, 2014, 08:38:39 AM »

I am trying to load a document that contains a lot of lines from our z/OS system log. 
 - This document does not have anything that is unique on each page.
 - This document does not have carriage control
 - The document does not need to be split up into "pages".

We are using the OS/390 Indexer for most of our data in CMOD.

No matter what I try, I get an error :
The following message was returned from the OS/390 indexer (ARSZSTDR error_message = ARS5419E No documents found - input exhausted.).

Which (according to documentation) indicates that the trigger isn't correct.
I have tried setting my trigger at a blank space on the first line of the data, as well as on several areas with actual data.  Nothing works.
Help would be appreciated.

z/OS Server / Reprint reports to a flat file (z/OS)

« on: December 27, 2013, 09:02:28 AM »

I believe I have found the answer to my question below.  I had not yet gotten into the details of Distribution, and I believe I found my answer there.  I will post a new, more specific, question if I can't get this to work.  Thanks, anyway!

We are converting to CMOD from SAR.  We have several jobs that use a SAR utility to create files from reports stored on SAR.
Can somebody tell me an easy way to either:
a) add a "distribution" on CMOD admin that will create a file for a report (application)  or
b) change our existing jobs to select the reports from CMOD and create a file.

Here is some additional information:
  -  All our reports/applications (for this) are line-data reports.
  -  The SAR utiltiy we currently use is SARBCH (in case this helps)
  -  All jobs/procs currently create files with FB format, but the LRECL size varies,  (133, 137, etc), but is equal to the size of the report.
  -  We need to create a file that can be input to our mainframe jobs.

Being new to CMOD, I dont' know the options we have available here, and have not been able to find an answer on this forum, or within the IBM web site.  I'd appreciate any help here.
