The FILE statement specifies the product input file. Every control file must have a FILE statement and it must be the first statement in the file. There can be only one FILE statement in a control file.

If the input file named in the FILE statement is being used by a product when the report is run, VMRGRW will not complete processing the control file. You must wait until the product is inactive or suspend use of the product.

Product Specific Requirements

The following information is product-specific and explains any restrictions, requirements, or other information about FILE statements that you should be aware of before running your VMRGRW reports.

CA VM:Account

  • If you use a FILE VMJRAW statement in your control file, you must specify the filetype of the RAWDATA file you want to use. For example:
    FILE VMJRAW RAWDATA $$100708.
  • If you want to use costed CA VM:Account information for an accounting period before the current account period, use:
    FILE VMJAREC3 PERIODTE period.

where period is the name of the accounting period you want to report on. For example, the statement might read FILE VMJAREC3 PERIODTE 01FEB10.

CA VM:Secure or CA VM:Director

To create the USER DIRECT file, you can:

  • Use the VMSOURCE control file record to specify the minidisk where the USER DIRECT file should be placed
  • Use the CA VM:Secure or CA VM:Director VMXBKP01 utility to create the USER DIRECT file and place it on your A-disk
Icon
Note: For more information about the VMXBKP01 utility, see the CA VM:Secure System Administrator's Guide.
