PR – Period record
The PR record is a multi segment record, with the following structure.
PRCOM -+- Common segment (1 per PR)
|
+= PRDATE = A date interval (many per PR)
Note:
- Some segments have Batch Loader statements with slightly different
names.
PRCOM
has a Batch Loader statement ofPRSTART
. - The Workload Automation Programming Language interpretation
of the PR record is slightly different from the PIF specification
in which interval dates are store in the field
PRTAB
within the Common Segment. Within Workload Automation Programming Language, the Common Segment includesPRTAB
as an unresolved field, if requested in anOUTPUT
statement, but will also decode thePRTAB
into separatePRDATE
segments for start and end date pairs. This makes for more flexible processing in Batch Loader.
