The GENCARD command creates batch report parameter statements from field and report processing information you provide through the Edit Report (ER) function. The GENCARD command also uses the target database information it obtains from the List Target Definitions (LT) function.
By using the GENCARD command to generate batch report parameters, you can run any online report in batch mode.
To use the GENCARD command
Access the Edit Report (ER) function.
Create the report definition in the same way that you create an online report definition; then save it by pressing PF5.
For more information, refer to section Maintaining Report Definitions.
Enter the command GENCARD or GC on the command line.
The Generate Report Definition Cards window appears as shown in the example below:

On the line labeled "File/DDNAME for output", type the file or DD name for the sequential file where the batch report parameter statements are to be written.
On the line labeled "Report Definition Prefix", type the report name and press ENTER.
To generate batch parameters for a series of reports, you may use an asterisk for "wildcard" prefixing and suffixing.
For example, to generate batch parameters for all reports with names beginning with "T", enter T* on the Report Definition Prefix line. For all reports with names ending with "test", enter *test.
You receive a message that the generation process has been started; however, you do not receive a message when the process is complete.
To ensure that the batch parameters were generated, examine the sequential dataset where the parameters were to be written.
