ACR/Summary 9.3 Release Notes

ACR/Summary 9.3 enhancements include:

Ability to select items for calculations

This enhancement is applicable to AS400.

When a user is creating calculation definitions, there was no way to see what items are available to add to the calculation. An F4 option has been added to both the left hand side and right hand side of the calculation that allows the user to get a list of items.

Allow F4 Select option on Total, Tally and Hash panels

This enhancement is applicable to AS400.

Tally and Hash did not currently have an option to select an existing internal item number from a list. The F4 option has been added to match existing items to the file dd, as well as providing a way to create the internal items (and extended internal items) if they do not exist already.

Produce a Warning/Error after changing the access modes in Summary

This enhancement is applicable to AS400.

This enhancement was done for z/OS in the 9.2 release. The change has been now made so the AS400 has the same type edit checks that z/OS does. For example, if user changes access mode from ‘1’ to ‘6’ on the file definitions, the product will prompt user that the definitions will be delete if user proceeds with the changes.

Report ID option on Freeform Reports

This enhancement is applicable to all platforms.

A new option has been added to the free form report to put the actual name of the report on the report itself. Works very similar to the option of adding the job/step name to the report.

Allow multiple selects to be made on the main job window and extract window

This enhancement is applicable to z/OS.

On the main job windows for all items now multiple selections can be made. This gives the user the ability to select a series of items and either update them or just look through them one after another.

Delimited Data File Information screen should have F5-Display

This enhancement is applicable to AS400.

When in the Delimited Data option, the user is now able to do an F5 to display the contents of the input source.
