Jim, rmm has multiple ways to egenrate information for you, depending what exactly you are after; The simplest is simply to use the ISPF dialog and its search capabilities and view the results interactively.
Then there is Rexx; if you want something programmed and need to query results and issue more commands - go that way There are built-in reports; movement and inventory reports using supplied utilities. Then there are a set of Rexx based reports - easily customized, that provide similar reports to what many are used to. For customized reporting look to the rmm Report Generator - an ISPF based dialog that shows you record layouts and lets you pick the fields to be selected,columns to be sorted and the report layout. That generates you the batch JCL to use ICETOOL or SYNCTOOL. It is easy. For more statistics and so on, look to IBM Omegamon XE for Storage and its ability to pull information from rmm and produce charts etc. Mike Wood RMM Development ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
