Enhance SuperC (ISRSUPC) to Add Option to Suppress Report Headers

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

Using SuperC in Batch (ISRSUPC) the ability to suppress the report headers would be helpful for applications that only need the report data.

    SuperC reports should not be processed by programs, as that is not a documented interface.

    There are various forms of output which can be generated to provide a program-readable result.
    Please try with below option to get a file with no headers (only the 1st header is printed)
    //RUN EXEC PGM=ASMFSUPC,
    // PARM='DELTAL,LINECMP,NOPRTCC,NOSUMS'
    And try using ICETOOL/DFSORT to eliminate records that you will not need.

    Regarding turning the header off by providing a Process option or Process statement, the value for effort does not seem very significant. This is a very specific requirement around SuperC. Given limited resources and other priorities, we therefore do not expect to implement any change in this area in the near future, so we are declining this request, although we will add it to our long-term suggestion list.

    I would like the report generated to have no headers and only the delta information so that I can put it into a subsequent program for processing.

    Could you provide more details to help us understand this requirement better?
    Please share an example that outlines the report creation steps and specifies the headers that should be suppressed.

    Thanks,
