Fast/Unload User Language Interface

Introduced

Sirius Mods 8.1

Description

This parameter, together with the FUNPARM system parameter, controls the auditing of messages when using the Fast/Unload User Language Interface. These parameters are intended to augment the availability of auditing information, in such a way that the user or the system manager can ensure that information is available for a single job or all jobs, without changes to any User Language program invoking FastUnload, FastUnloadTask, or $Funload. Without the use of these parameters, some auditing information may be available from the FUNAUDIT dataset, but that information may be inadequate: for example, messages from a FastUnload job will not be in FUNAUDIT if the Report parameter is used.

This is a bitmask parameter where the bits mean:

X'02'

Indicates that "basic" Fast/Unload messages for this user are always audited, regardless of the presence of a Fast/Unload User Language Interface "report" argument.

X'04'

Indicates that all Fast/Unload messages for this user, except "Field statistics" and REPORT statement lines, are always audited, regardless of the presence of a Fast/Unload User Language Interface "report" argument. The X'02' bit need not be set if the X'04' bit is set.

X'08'

Indicates that "basic" Fast/Unload messages for this user are always audited in the Model 204 audit trail, whether or not the FUNAUDIT DD name is present. If the X'04' bit is on, all messages are audited there as well. In the odd case that there is no Model 204 audit trail, the X'08' bit is ignored, but auditing is performed as if the X'02' bit were on, whether it is or not.

For both of the FUNPRMU X'02' and X'04' bits, the same bit has the same meaning in the FUNPARM system parameter; the indicated effect takes place if either of the FUNPRMU or FUNPARM bits are on. That is also true for the X'08' bit, although there are some additional details for the X'08' bit which generally you don't need to concern yourself with, but are explained as part of the more detailed discussion below.

The FUNPRMU parameter and the corresponding bits in the FUNPARM parameter are fairly straightforward and the above description should be adequate to use them. Further information is presented below for a complete description of the processing triggered by these parameters.

Fast/Unload report processing

Every Fast/Unload User Language Interface job has a "report", which may contain many Fast/Unload messages (it contains at least the FUNL0004 message line indicating the end of the job). Each User Language invocation (of FastUnload, for example) can designate a DD name or Stringlist or $list destination for the report, or it can omit the destination, in which case the report is sent to the FUNAUDIT dataset, if there is one, or otherwise to the Model 204 audit trail.

The FUNPARM and FUNPRMU parameters allow the auditing of some of the messages from the report to be captured on FUNAUDIT and/or the Model 204 audit trail, regardless of the designation of the report destination in the various User Language invocations of the Fast/Unload User Language Interface.

The effect of these parameters is based on their values at the time that User Language invokes a Fast/Unload User Language Interface job; they are explained for each form of report destination in the following table:

If the report's destination is FUNAUDIT	If either FUNPARM or FUNPRMU has the X'08' bit off and the X'04' bit on, it is ensured that FUNAUDIT will contain the list of Fast/Unload parameter settings and the FUEL program listing. Otherwise, FUNAUDIT is not affected by these parameters, but audited information is present in the Model 204 audit trail if either parameter has the X'08' bit on.
If the report's destination is the Model 204 audit trail	If either FUNPARM or FUNPRMU has the X'04' bit on, it is ensured that the Model 204 audit trail will contain the list of Fast/Unload parameter settings and of the FUEL program listing. Otherwise, the Model 204 audit trail is not affected by these parameters and indeed they do not provide extra auditing for this invocation.
Otherwise (the report's destination is aStringlist or $list or a dataset - with a DD name other than FUNAUDIT)	If either FUNPARM or FUNPRMU has any of the X'08', X'04', or X'02' bits on, an "audit" stream is produced for the job, containing at least the job's "basic" Fast/Unload messages. If either FUNPARM or FUNPRMU has the X'04' bit on, this will also contain the list of Fast/Unload parameter settings and of the FUEL program. If both FUNPARM and FUNPRMU have the X'08' bit off, the audit stream will be sent to FUNAUDIT (if that DD name is present; otherwise the stream is sent to the Model 204 audit trail). If both FUNPARM and FUNPRMU have the X'08' bit on, the audit stream will be sent to the Model 204 audit trail. If one of FUNPARM and FUNPRMU has the X'08' bit on and the other has it off, the audit stream will be sent: only to the Model 204 audit trail if there is no FUNAUDIT DD name present; both to the Model 204 audit trail and to FUNAUDIT if the parm which has the X'08' bit off also has either the X'04' or X'02' bit on; otherwise (the parm which has the X'08' bit off also has both the X'04' and X'02' bits off), only to the Model 204 audit trail.

Note that the X'01' bit is not used by FUNPRMU.
