Generating POF reports
Periodically, you might need to review POF keyword values, determine whether values are missing, or diagnose a problem. The following reports can assist you:
- The POF Validation Report lists a POF keyword, the action taken on the keyword, and the value of the keyword in the POF. For example, you can generate this report when you create a new user POF and change the values of several keywords. The report shows the changes, the number of values that were refreshed, and any errors that resulted.
- The Variables Initialized with Default report lists the keywords that are missing from the initial POF and the default ISPF variables that are used to populate the keywords. You can generate this report when you want to view the new keywords and their values for a release.
To generate the reports
From the JCL Generation Product Options File (POF) Functions panel, in the MSGCLASS for POF Diagnostic Messages field, type the MSGCLASS for the SYSOUT field that is used to display messages.Consider using a SYSOUT class that is designated to go to the held queue so that you can view the output. Two SYSOUT files are allocated: AJXPOFER and AJXPOFVL.
When you invoke the product or reset the POF, the reports are listed on the output for your TSO session.
