19.1 Loading Select Keys

When the system loads select keys, EBB scans the original spool report file and stores the data in the select key areas. You can load select keys for reports individually, or load select keys for multiple reports at the same time.

To load select keys, the spool file to be burst must exist.

To load select keys or a single spool file

1. On Maintain EBB Versions, enter 1 in the Option field next to the version to which you want to load select keys.

2. On EBB Reports Selection, enter 1 in the Option field next to the report.

3. In the Burst Selection Setup area, enter 2 for Spool File Example.

4. On Spool File Selection, enter the output queue name in which the spool file resides in the OUTQ field.

19.3 Loading Select Keys for Multiple Spool Files

When your EBB version bursts data from multiple reports, you might want to load the select keys for the spool files at the same time, rather than loading the select keys for spool files individually.

Load select keys for multiple spool files

1. On Maintain EBB Versions enter 5 in the Option field next to the version to which you want to load select keys.

2. On Spool File Selection, enter the output queue in which the spool files reside in the OUTQ field.

   Notice that all spool files in the output queue for that version display.
