The Dynamic Report System (DRS) provides an effective means of routing reports from batch jobs, online applications (i.e., CICS, IMS, IDMS, etc.), Local Area Networks, and remote TCP/IP hosts to the JES spool, to a DASD file on the MVS host system, or to a UNIX HFS file.
The reports are standard SYSOUT, DASD, or HFS datasets. They can be fixed, variable, or undefined format, blocked or unblocked. They can have ASA, machine, or no carriage control. SYSOUT datasets can have standard JES dataset attributes, such as class, destination, form name, writer name, FCB, UCS, hold/nohold, copies, etc.
In addition, AFP attributes (e.g., PAGEDEF, FORMDEF, etc.) can be assigned to the SYSOUT reports by referencing OUTPUT JCL statements.
