The syntax for this command is as follows:
SETDEFREP [<size>]
Use this command to specify the average report source <size> of reports generated from this Application Builder server. The size options are:
SMALL
MEDIUM
LARGE
If a size is not included with the SETDEFREP command, the current setting is returned.
By default, the setting is LARGE.
Setting the average report source <size> impacts the number of reports (and associated generate units) that is compiled per COBOL85 BINDSTREAM deck. For efficiency, as many reports as possible should be compiled per BINDSTREAM, but there are limits, depending on the sizes of the COBOL85 sources.
This command specifies the average size of the COBOL85 report sources which then dictates the number of reports (and associated generate units) that is compiled per BINDSTREAM compile deck. This table shows the size selection and the approximate number of reports compiled at one time.
Size | Approximate number of reports compiled at one time |
---|---|
SMALL | 500 |
MEDIUM | 300 |
LARGE | 150 |
Selecting a <size> that is too small for the actual report sizes might result in COBOL85 syntax errors. If this occurs, increase <size> then retry the report generate.
