Performance Reporting Language PRL
A typical PRL program consists of the following statements:
Statement | Description |
|---|---|
Verbs | perform an action |
Operators | symbolically indicate the action to be performed in a mathematical expression |
Substrings | exist for character string evaluation |
Variables | exist for value substitution Variables can be symbolic for user-defined data or predefined for system-provided data. |
You write these statements in a PRL program to generate a user-defined batch report. The statements can assign a value to a variable, establish a condition, or control PRL execution.
A PRL program is created with an interactive editor as a member of a data set. The member can be part of a PRL procedure library. BMC Software distributes sample PRL programs as members in the BBSAMP data set.
The program is executed as a batch job that defines the input data and type of report produced.
