Tandem Performance Data Collector (TPDC) Manual—526357-001
3-18
Running the SPAM TACL Macros
eight characters (possibly including spaces) that can occur anywhere within the
fully qualified program file name. If you specify fewer than eight characters, the
partial name is padded to the right with spaces. If your partial name includes
spaces, you must enclose it in quotation marks (“). Examples:
PROGRAM SRVR02
APROGRAM “obj sv“
PROJECT “project-name“
specifies a project name to be printed on the front page of the set of reports, or
to be the default “Project Title” used by SPAMnX when producing graphic
charts.
project-name must be enclosed in quotation marks (“) and can be up to 50
characters in length. If you are using TPRODUCE to produce CSV data for
SPAMnX, TPRODUCE replaces any commas with semicolons. Do not use the
TACL special characters within “project-name”, or the TPRODUCE run will
fail.
The default project name is “Tandem Computers.” Example:
PROJECT “ABC Corporation“
PURGE
causes TPRODUCE to purge existing data from an existing disk list-file before
running new reports. The default is for new report data to be appended to an
existing disk list-file.
SHOWRCV { 0 | 1 | FALSE | TRUE }
specifies whether activity to the $RECEIVE file is to be included in file or
process-to-file reports, such as FILOPNS, PROGLIO, and SERVLIO.
The values 0 and FALSE are equivalent, as are 1 and TRUE. The default is 0
(FALSE).
STATS
causes TPRODUCE to copy Enform statistics to its OUT file. The default is no
statistics.
report-name
specifies the logical name of a single precompiled report (for example COVER).
TPRODUCE looks for the file Report-name (for example, RCOVER) first in your
SPAM work directory and then in the SPAM base directory.
