Report Command Reference - DPMOUTDD statement

DPMOUTDD statement

The DPMOUTDD statement is applicable to all report sets.

If you:

Do not specify DPMOUTDD:
All DPMOUT-related processing is completed in storage. Only the records that relate to the report set commands in the same step are processed. No data is externalized.
Specify DPMOUTDD:
All records that satisfy GLOBAL FROM TO and INCLUDE or EXCLUDE selection criteria are reformatted to OMEGAMON® XE for DB2® PE trace format, sorted by time sequence, location and group name, and written to the data set specified by DPMOUTDD.

Include DPMOUTDD in your JCL only if you want to retain a copy of the input data as filtered by any GLOBAL options.
Do not specify DUMMY or DISP=MOD for DPMOUTDD.
You can specify a permanent or temporary data set for DPMOUTDD.
Only specify the temporary DPMOUT data set if the number of filtered input records is likely to exceed 45 000. By default, OMEGAMON XE for DB2 PE allocates up to 68 MB for a work data set.
The size of the DPMOUT data set depends on the number of input records and the GLOBAL filters. The input records are the IFCID records included in the DB2-related SMF record types 100, 101, and 102. One input record occupies approximately 1.5 KB of the space in the DPMOUT data set.
When the input data set is composed mostly of DB2-related records, a good size for DPMOUT is 1.6 times the size of the input data set.
