FDREPORT Execution Options
These are sub-operands of the ENABLE= and DISABLE= operands on the PRINT and DEFAULT statements. They control various execution options of FDREPORT and invoke special functions. Because of space limitations, some options that are for special purposes and are of limited use are not documented here. To see the complete list of options, execute FDREPORT with the control statement:
HELP COMMAND(PRINT)
The defaults shown for each option are the defaults distributed with FDREPORT. However, all of these defaults can be permanently changed as described under the DEFAULT statement in FDREPORT-DEFAULT-Statement.
| Option | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
| ABENDIFSET | Honor the ABRCC=ABEND option set in the FDR Option Table, FDROPT. Enabling this option when ABRCC=ABEND is set causes FDREPORT to terminate with an U0888 abend without a dump whenever a non-zero return code would normally be encountered at termination. | FDREPORT converts the ABRCC=ABEND into ABRCC=12 and terminates with a return code of 12 when error conditions are encountered. |
| ACCEPTSTORGRP | Accept the value specified in STORGRP without checking the value against the SMS Storage Group Table. | Enabled |
| ADDGDGBASE | Summarize all generations under the GDGBASE name when running with the RECORDSUMMARY=CLUSTER option. | GDG generations are not summarized |
| AIXCLUSTER | For VSAM Alternate Indexes (AIXs) the name of the AIX cluster is displayed as the cluster name instead of the base cluster name. | Disabled |
| ALLCATVOL | For a multi-volume data set, the field CATVOL (first volume serial number in the catalog), if selected, is displayed with all records for all volumes of the data set. If disabled, CATVOL is not displayed with the record for volume sequence 1 of the data set. | Disabled |
| ALLFILTER | When scanning the catalog (DATATYPE=CATALOG, CATVTOC, or CATARCH), select data sets even if they are cataloged to tape or marked for ABR auto-recall. If disabled, only data sets cataloged to DASD without auto-recall are selected. | Disabled |
ALLVOLUMES | Select all volumes in the storage group if STORGRP= is specified, even if some of the volumes are offline. If disabled, only online volumes in the storage group are selected. To be effective, ENABLE=ALLVOLUMES must be specified on a DEFAULT statement that precedes the XSELECT STORGRP= statement. | Disabled |
| ARCHENQUEUE | When reporting on the Archive Control File (ACF) or an Extended Archive Control File (EACF) , a special ABR ENQ is issued to prevent ABR from updating the (E)ACF during the report. | Disabled |
| AUTODECIMAL | Automatically enable DECIMALBYTES when AUTOEAVDISK or EAVDISK are enabled. | Enabled |
| AUTOEAVDISK | Automatically determine if EAV support should be enabled. If 3390 devices are installed on the system, each address is tested to see if EAV support is required. If any 3390 EAV devices are found, EAVDISK is enabled. | Enabled |
AUTOFATDISK | Automatically determine if support for IBM 3390-9 DASD and other DASD with more than 65,535 tracks but less than 150,256 tracks (10,017 cylinders) should be enabled; if any DASD of this size is online, the FATDISK option is automatically enabled. | Enabled |
AUTOLARGEDISK | Automatically determine if support for 3390-27 or 3390-54 DASD devices should be enabled. If 3390 devices are installed on the system, each address is tested to see if support for 3390-27 or 3390-54 devices is required. If any 3390-27 or 3390-54 devices are found, LARGEDISK is enabled. | The default is set to automatically determine if 3390-27 and 3390-54 support should be enabled. |
| AUTOMAXONLIN | Automatically determine the number of DASD volumes online to this processor and set the MAXONLINE= operand to default to that value. This enables you to report on any number of DASD volumes up to your entire DASD installation. | Enabled |
| AUTONEWS | Display the NEWS related to the current version of FDREPORT when a command or operand that has changed from the prior release is specified with what was valid syntax. | Disabled |
| AUTOSIMULSP | Automatically simulate the LSPACE SVC when processing online volumes and the VTOC is read. This service is used when processing offline volumes to gather the data normally returned by SVC 78 (LSPACE). | Enabled |
| AUTOSTACK | If the fields to be printed exceed the page width, fields with similar attributes are printed stacked one above the other. Default: . | Disabled |
| AVERAGING | If summarization is requested, print the average value of all numeric summarized fields.
| Disabled |
| BCDSMSCLASS | Extract SMS class data from the BCDS backup record. | Enabled |
| CANDSPACE | Include candidate space in calculations of space utilization. | Disabled |

| CHAREXPDATES | If enabled, expiration dates of 1999.365 through 1999.999 are displayed as “NEVER”. An expiration date of 1999.000 (99000) is displayed as “CATCTL”. | Disabled |
| COMBINEDRANK | When enabled, causes the RANK service to check for multiple occurrences of the same data set or cluster and, if present, assign the same RANK value to all. | Disabled |
| COMPDSORT | When enabled, permits direct sorting of files created with RPTYPE=COMPDATA. | Disabled |
| COMPSELECT | If data set name selection does not select an ICF VSAM cluster based on the cluster name, the component names are also checked; if any match the cluster is selected. | Enabled |
| CONTROLBREAK | Default a control break on volume serial, if there is no BREAK or SORT command, or there is a SORT command with no BREAK operand, and SORT=YES or SORT=NO is in effect. If CONTROLBREAK is disabled, then control breaks can only be set with the BREAK or SORT commands. | Enabled |
| COUNTERVALID | Counter fields are valid in a punch mask. | Enabled |
| DAFREESPACE | Calculate free space in Direct Access (DA) data sets. | Disabled |
| DATELOCATE | Catalog LOCATEs are issued to get creation/expiration dates for ICF VSAM clusters. | Disabled |

| DEBUG | Debugging features of FDREPORT are to be enabled. | Disabled |
| DECIMALBYTES | Format the byte related fields as nnnnnn.dddk where “k” is the qualifier that describes the field formatting. See “BYTEFORMAT=” in FDREPORT-TITLE-Statement for the values of “k”. | Disabled |
| DECIMALSUMBYT | Format the byte related summary fields as nnnnnn.dddk where “k” is the qualifier that describes the field formatting. See “SUMBYTEFORMAT=” in FDREPORT-TITLE-Statement for the values of k. | Disabled |
| DETAIL | When AVERAGING is enabled, display the detail information on averaged fields. | Enabled |
| DIAGNOSEVVDS | When executing any FDREPORT function that accesses DASD VTOCs, for volumes that have a VVDS, FDREPORT checks the VVDS for orphan DSCBs (an entry in the VTOC with no matching VVR or NVR in the VVDS. Other VVDS errors may be detected regardless of this option. | Disabled |
| DIRBLOCKS | Causes FDREPORT to read the directory of any selected PDS, even if directory-related fields have not been requested. | Disabled, but assumed if directory fields are requested. |
| DIRDEBUG | Requests that errors while reading directory blocks are documented with FDR648 messages accompanied by mini-dumps created by the EXCP server. | Disabled |
| DIREXTRACT | Causes FDREPORT to read the directory of any selected PDS and create multiple records for the data set, one for each member selected. | Disabled, but assumed if member names are requested. |
| DISPLAY | Specification of ENABLE=DISPLAY on a DEFAULT statement causes it to display all of the FDREPORT operands that are stored in the FDREPORT option table and their current default values. | Disabled. See “CHANGE=” in FDREPORT-OPTIMIZE-Statement for information on permanently changing the defaults. |
| DISPLSPACE | Display the values resulting from the execution of a LSPACE command or the equivalent. | Disabled |
| DSCBDISPLAY | Displays the DSCBs read from VTOCs for all selected data sets. | Disabled |
| DUMPALIAS | Format and print the alias table created from the master catalog to SYSPRINT. This operand is only honored when and if the DATATYPE is CATALOG, CATARCH, or CATVTOC. | Disabled |
| DUMPDATES | Format and print all dates input to FDREPORT via control statements. This is a diagnostic tool for use by BMC Support. | Disabled |
| DUPBYPASS | Bypass field names that are specified more than once with the BREAK, REPORT, or SORT commands. The duplicate condition is documented with an FDR559 message without signifying an error condition and the command detected error return code is not set. | Enabled |
| DUPDSNCHECK | During PUNCH processing, bypasses duplicate data set names, generating only one PUNCH output for each name; for multi-volume data sets and ICF VSAM clusters, ensures that only one output is generated per data set. It is effective only if the data is sorted by data set name. | Enabled |
| DYNALLOCOMPAT | Allocate using either FASTPATH or FDR$DYNM. | Disabled |
| EAVDISK | The 3390 EAV DASD is to be supported. Various field formats are expanded to support 3390 EAV DASD. These include the extend descriptors and counts of byte, tracks, DSCBs, and data set organization. The new field formats are automatically used if EAVDISK is enabled, causing the format of generated reports to change. | Disabled, but may be automatically enabled if AUTOEAVDISK is enabled. |
| ELEVENBYTES | Format byte related fields as eleven bytes using n…nk, where “k” is the qualifier that describes the field formatting. See BYTEFORMAT= for the values of “k”. | Disabled |
| ESTAE | Prevent termination error messages with an ESTAE recovery routine. | Enabled |
| EXTENDEDSIZE | Format size related values as eight bytes. | Disabled |
| EXTRACTLOCATE | When processing an extract file (DATATPE=EXTRACT) that includes the CATALOG field, a LOCATE is done to determine the current catalog status of each data set. If disabled, the catalog status at the time of the extract is reported. | Disabled |
| FAMSDIRBLKS | Issue a call to FAMS to read the directory blocks from a partitioned extended data set. If directory information is required from POE data sets, then FAMSDIRBLKS must be enabled. These fields are then made available: DIRBINFO, DIRBLOCK, DIRBFREE, DIRBUSED, %DIRFREE, %DIRUSED, and MEMBERS. | Disabled |
| FAMSFREESP | Issue a call to FAMS to facilitate the calculation of free space within POE and HFS data sets. | Enabled |
| FASTPATH | Uses a low-overhead technique for reading DASD volumes. FASTPATH does not dynamically allocate DASD volumes, nor does it OPEN each one. When processing a number of DASD volumes, this significantly reduces the time required to read the VTOC and VVDS on each volume. FASTPATH must be enabled in order to report on offline DASD volumes. The FASTPATH technique for gaining control of DASD volumes has been refined and now is always used for DATATYPE=VTOC and DATATYPE=VOLDATA instead of z/OS dynamic allocation. ENABLE=FASTPATH or DISABLE=FASTPATH has no effect on DATATYPE=VTOC and DATATYPE=VOLDATA. For DATATYPE=CATVTOC, the default has been changed to ENABLE=FASTPATH. If you disable FASTPATH when running with DATATYPE=CATVTOC, it is honored. | |
| FATDISK | Required for proper reporting when processing 3390-9 DASD or any DASD with more than 65,535 tracks but less than 150,256 tracks (10,017 cylinders). This option changes the size of some of the fields to accommodate the larger DASD. | Disabled, but may be automatically enabled by the AUTOFATDISK option described above. See “LARGEDISK” in FDREPORT-Volume-Examples for support of DASD larger than a 3390-9. |
| FINALTOTALS | Summaries contain a final total display if more than one control break is taken. | Enabled |
| FIVEBYTEBKFS | Request that the field BKFILENO is to be displayed as a five byte field. This field has previously been limited to 4,095 when stored in the Archive Control File. It has been expanded to 65,634, requiring the additional display byte. | The extra byte is displayed in the blank byte between BKFILENO and the preceding field. |
| FLAGDIAGNOSE | Requests that any messages generated as the result of FDREPORT’s DIAGNOSEVVDS operand cause a failing return code to be generated and, if any standard FDREPORT messages are issued, they are issued as error messages. | Disabled |
| FORMAT4DSCB | Request that the VTOC itself be identified by the name “FORMAT4.DSCB” in reports generated from the VTOC, rather than the default of “****VTOC”. | Disabled |
| FOURBYTEUNIT | Consider the unit address to be a four digit value for both input and display. | Disabled, but automatically enabled if 4-digit device support is found within the system. |
| FOURBYTEXTENT | Displays the NOEXTENT field (total extents in a data set) as four digits instead of three digits. Only Extended Format Striped data sets can exceed 999 extents. | Disabled |
| GDGBASEONLY | The catalog scan is to return only the base segment of a Generation Data Group (GDG). | Disabled |
| GDGONLY | When scanning the catalog (DATATYPE=CATALOG, CATVTOC, or CATARCH), only generations of a Generation Data Group (GDG) are to be selected. | Disabled |
| HEADINGS | Field column heading lines are to be included in the report. | Enabled |
| HEXBYTES | Kilobyte and megabyte calculations are to be based on division by 1,024 (hex) rather than 1,000 (decimal). | Disabled |
| HFSEXCLUDE | Do not use FAMS to determine the amount of free space in HFS or zFS data sets. | Disabled |
| IAM | FDREPORT attempts to identify IAM files. IAM is a separately priced product from BMC. | IAM is enabled if any IAM fields are requested (IAMINFO, IAMUSE, %OVER, OVERFLOW, OVERUSED), or if DSORG is specified on a XSELECT or XEXCLUDE command; and disabled otherwise. |
| ICFERRPRT | Print error messages from the ICF VSAM identification processor. | Disabled |
| INCLUDETAIL | Include data set detail information when creating records from the alias table produced by FDR$CATP, the catalog driver. See REPORTALIASTB for additional information. | Disabled |
| INDEX | Extract an index level from the name of every data set for sorting purposes and other uses. The index level to be extracted (1, 2, and so on) is controlled by the INDEXNUM operand of the PRINT statement. The extracted index is available as the INDEX field name. | Enabled |
| INDEXDISPLAY | FDREPORT currently indexes the VVDS to provide rapid access to the entries. INDEXDISPLAY causes the index to be displayed. This is a diagnostic tool that is reserved for use by BMC Support.FDREPORT currently indexes the VVDS to provide rapid access to the entries. INDEXDISPLAY causes the index to be displayed. This is a diagnostic tool that is reserved for use by BMC Support. | Disabled |
| INDEXPROCESS | Process the index component of an ICF VSAM cluster when performing selection based on last referenced date. | Disabled |
| INDEXVALID | Consider the last referenced date of the index component of an ICF VSAM cluster to be valid. | The last referenced date of ICF VSAM clusters is set to zero. |
| INFOMSG | Failure to process or select any data sets from a specified volume results in an informative message. | Enabled |
| LARGEDISK | Required for proper reporting when processing 3390-27 DASD or any DASD with more than 10,017 cylinders (up to 32,760 cylinders). This option changes the size of some of the fields to accommodate the larger DASD. | Disabled |

| LIMITALIASTB | Requests that the effect of the DUMPALIAS support be limited to the aliases required for this execution. | Enabled |
| LSPACERECOVER | Requests that failing LSPACE requests be driven through the LSPACE simulator while masking the failure. | Disabled |
| MAXAVAILABLE | FDREPORT gathers all information about selected data sets from all available sources. If disabled, only the sources required to provide the field names referenced in FDREPORT statements are read. For example, the VVDS is not read for cluster information unless you request a field that comes from the VVDS. MAXAVAILABLE is useful if you are creating an extract file for later processing. | Disabled |
| MEMBEREXTRACT | FDREPORT extracts member names from the directories of PDS and PDSE libraries. Multiple records are created for these data sets, one record per member. | Disabled |
| MODELDSCB | Use the actual name of the ABR Model DSCB in any report generated from a VTOC, instead of the “***ABR” name. | Disabled |
| MODOUTPUT | When RPTYPE=DATA or COMPDATA is specified, open the output extract file (SYSUT2) with DISP=MOD (extend) in order to add data to the file. If disabled and DISP=MOD is not specified on the SYSUT2 DD Statement, every PRINT with RPTYPE=DATA or COMPDATA overwrites the extract file so that only the latest output is available. | Disabled |
| MULTIRECREAD | Use chained multi-record read CCWs to read the VTOC and VVDS into storage. | Enabled |
| NEWSUMFORMAT | Use the summary format from the current release of FDREPORT. If NEWSUMFORMAT is disabled, summaries are in the format used in releases of FDREPORT prior to V5.1/30. | Enabled |
| NOGENERICAN | Do not include generic (asterisk defined) candidate volumes in the CANDVOLC count of candidate volumes. | All candidate volumes are included in the CANDVOLC count. |

| ONELINESUM | Summary processing generates only one line/record per summary value, if all the data fits on one line. | Disabled |
| ONLINE | All online DASD volumes are to be processed. | Disabled. If disabled, volumes specified by DISKxxxx DD Statements, VOL=, VOLG=, and STORGRP= operands, and volumes selected from the catalog, are processed. |
| OWNERCLUSTER | Obtain creation date, expiration date, excpexit, ownerid, volvrba, and security verification module for ICF components from the catalog by cluster name, rather than component name. | Disabled |
| PAGENUMBER | Report headings are to contain a page number. | Enabled |
| POEUSEPAGE | Calculate free and used space for POE data sets using pages rather than tracks. This option only takes effect if FAMSFREESP or DIRBLOCKS is enabled. | Disabled |
| PRINTALIAS | Format alias messages when alias entries are found during the catalog scan. These messages are printed if PRINTSTATUS is also enabled. | Disabled |
| PRINTALL | Format messages for each catalog entry processed by the catalog scan. These messages are printed if PRINTSTATUS is also enabled. | Disabled |
| PRINTCATSTAT | Format all FDR435 messages dealing with problems extracting information from ICF catalogs. These messages are printed if PRINTSTATUS is also enabled. | FDR435 messages with reason codes of 2, 5, and 8 are not formatted. |
| PRINTSELECT | Format messages for each catalog entry selected by the catalog scan. These messages are printed if PRINTSTATUS is also enabled. | Disabled |
| PRINTSTATUS | Print the messages formatted by the catalog scan service. | Enabled |
| PRINTZERODATE | If enabled, date fields that are zero are displayed, otherwise zero dates display as blanks. | Disabled |
| PUNCHDEFINE | Punch IDCAMS DEFINE ALIAS control statements for all active alias entries currently in the catalog to the ddname described by the PCHDDNAME operand. | Disabled |
| PUNCHDIAGNOS | Punch the IDCAMS DELETE statements that are created from VVDS errors encountered during normal processing or the result of running with DIAGNOSEVVDS enabled. | Disabled; the results of VVDS errors or DIAGNOSEVVDS are only printed. |
| PUNCHMASK | Process the punch mask during output termination if no records match the selection criteria resulting in no data input to the SELPCH server. | Disabled |
| PUNCHSEPCHAR | Separate the elements of dates formatted for punch display (RPTYPE=SELPCH) with the character described by the PCHSEPCHAR operand. | Disabled |
| RECHECKRESERV | Recheck the unit’s reserve status just prior to reserving the device. | Disabled |
| REPORTALIASTB | Create report records from the alias table produced by FDR$CATP, the FDREPORT catalog driver. These records contain limited data and are only created when executing with DATATYPE=CATALOG. The field names available are: ALILEVEL, ALISTATS, CATNAME, SELALIAS, and SOURCE. | Enabled |
RESERVE | VTOCs are protected from change by a RESERVE while being read. | Disabled |
| RESETDEVTYPE | Reset the device type, if required, when executing with DATATYPE=EXTRACT. | Disabled |
| RESETEXCLUDE | Reset exclusion criteria after executing a PRINT command. | Disabled |
| RESETSELECT | Reset selection criteria after executing each PRINT command. | Disabled |
| RETAINRANK | Normally, the value for RANK and VLRANK is reset each time a record is processed by the control break service. This option allows the rank value to be retained when the data is retrieved from an extract file. | Disabled |
| RPMSUFFIX | Process the suffix, if present, before resetting the punch mask. | Disabled |
| RPTDUPDSNCHK | During report generation, bypasses duplicate data set names, generating only one report line for each name. It is effective only if the data is sorted by data set name. | Disabled |
| SELECTEDTAPES | Specifies that only backup files that match the selection or exclusion criteria are to be carried in the report record. | Disabled |
| SELECTOFFLINE | Enables offline DASD devices to be selected by the UNIT= operand of the XSELECT statement for DATATYPE=VTOC. FASTPATH must also be enabled. Also, see “OFFLINE” in FDREPORT-Volume-Examples. | Disabled |
| SELTERR | Set an error code if no data sets are selected (for DATATYPE=VOLDATA, if no volumes are selected). | Enabled unless overridden in the FDR Global Options. |
| SETREGIONSIZE | Specifies that during startup, FDREPORT should ensure that the region value for the address space in use should be at least as large as the value specified in REGIONSIZE. If the region value is smaller, it is saved, replaced by the value in REGIONSIZE, and restored to its original value during termination. | Disabled |
| SETVTOCLIMITS | If enabled, VTOCs are only read up to their high-water mark; if disabled, the entire VTOC is read (this can be used if you suspect that the high-water mark in some VTOCs is inaccurate). | Enabled |
| SHROPTMODIFY | Specified that the catalog driver FDR$CATP is to use a reduced level of enqueue protection when reading catalog records using VSAM. This permits greater speed while at the same time introducing an acceptable level of inaccuracy. | Enabled. Disabling SHROPTMODIFY results in job elongation times. |
| SIMULSPACE | Simulate the LSPACE SVC when processing online volumes. This service is used when processing offline volumes to gather the data normally returned by SVC 78 (LSPACE). | Disabled |

| STARTCATONLY | Process only the starting catalog with the catalog scan. | Disabled |
| SUMOVERRIDE | Provide summary services at the volume level for DATATYPE=EXTRACT and ARCHIVE when NEWSUMFORMAT is disabled. The old summary processing (used when NEWSUMFORMAT is disabled) only summarizes by device type for DATATYPE=EXTRACT and ARCHIVE. Enabling SUMOVERRIDE implies data is in volume sequence. If sorting is required, specify SORT=YES. Use the SORT command to augment sorting only (for example, use SORT FIELDS=(VOL,DEVTYPE) with Archive data to cause proper control breaks). If the SORT command is specified without SORT=YES, summary processing is bypassed. | Disabled |
| SUMVALUES | Display summary values for those fields that are to be summarized but do not contain data classically thought of as normally summarized (that is, VOL, CREATE). Disabling SUMVALUES provides just a count of the values. | Enabled |
| TABLESUMMARY | Insert summary values into the table output if RPTYPE=TABLE is specified. | Place the summary values on either the ABRSUM DD Statement, ABRMAP DD Statement, or SYSPRINT DD Statement. |
| TAPEREAD | When DATATYPE=TVTOC is specified (to extract information from an FDR backup file), causes the entire backup to be read, collecting additional data about IAM files and directories of PDS data sets. If disabled, only the control records at the beginning of the backup are read, which generates all VTOC and VVDS related fields. | Disabled |
| TAPERRORMSGS | Specifies that the error messages documenting missing backup tapes are printed. | Enabled |
| TERMIFDEFINE | Specifies that the PRINT command is to be terminated immediately after the completion of the PUNCHDEFINE function. | Disabled |
| TIMESTAMP | Report heading is to contain a timestamp. | Disabled |
| TSOPARSE | TSO parsing is available for all environments. | TSO parsing is only available in a TSO session. |
| UNKNBCSCELLS | Specifies what FDREPORT is to do with Basic Catalog Structure (BCS) records that contain cell types that are not known to the program. If UNKNBCSCELLS is enabled, the unknown cell types are accepted, but not processed, allowing the processing of the BCS record to continue. If UNKNBCSCELLS is disabled, the unknown cell type and the BCS record are bypassed. | Enabled |
| UNKNBCSPRINT | Specifies if FDREPORT is to display Basic Catalog Structure (BCS) records that contain cell types that are not known to the program. If UNKNBCSPRINT is enabled, message FDR702 is displayed documenting the unknown cell type. It is followed by the first forty (40) bytes of the BCS record. Next the name of the catalog containing the record is displayed followed by an action message detailing if the record was accepted or bypassed. | Enabled |
| USELOCATE | Use CAMLST LOCATE instead of the CAMLST simulator. | Disabled |
| USEMIH | Use the system Missing Interrupt Handler to time I/Os to offline devices. The MIH does not consider an I/O eligible for purge until five seconds have elapsed. | Use an internal timing service that uses the BININTERVAL value. |
| VMVALID | Determine if an ABR model DSCB resides on any VM volume that contains CPVOL at offset forty-six (46) in the volume label on cylinder zero (0) head zero (0). | Disabled |
| VSAMRLS | Open the DFSMShsm clusters using VSAM’s Record Level Sharing (RLS). | Disabled |
| VVRDISPLAY | The VVDS records (VVRs for all VSAM clusters, and NVRs for non-VSAM, SMS-managed data sets) are displayed for all selected data sets. | Disabled |
| VVRLRDATE | Use the VSAM LRDATE from the VVDS if the value is higher than the LRDATE in the DSCB. | Use the LRDATE from the VVDS if the value is higher than the value from the DSCB. |
| XREFERROR | Print backup information warning messages only if no other backup tape messages are to be printed. | Disabled |
