How to Export Reports from One EPDM or DB2 Subsys to Another

Essentially same as item 37, but for a group of reports. Logon to the Dev system and
    1. Run TSO %XQF report_name
       - report_name can be a pattern (without the %)
       - This creates the QMF EXPORT commands and executes them. It puts
         the queries/forms in datasets EPDM.EXPxENU (x=R for QUERY,
         x=F for FORM).
       NOTE You need two, one for QUERIES (fixed LRECL 79) and one
       for FORMS (variable LRECL 161)
    2. Run TSO %XQFRD report_name outmem to create the Report Defs
       in EPDM.XXWRENU(outmem)
       - report_name can be a pattern (without the %)
    3. The Report Defs will set a default Group name of LOCAL. If you
       want the reports to belong to some other group, EDIT the Report
       Defs. If the Report Group you want does not already exist, edit
       the Defs to add a DEFINE GROUP command and make the GROUPS name
       in the DEFINE REPORT agree. Ensure that the ATTRIBUTES line
       does not go past col 72 (split it after a comma).
    4. Copy the queries/forms in datasets EPDM.EXPxENU (x=R for QUERY,
         x=F for FORM) to EPDM.XXWRENU
    5. Move GDDM forms to EPDML.ADMCFORM (use PDF 3.3)
    6. Edit EPDML.CNTL(DRLJRDEF) to check that it points to these
       datasets (particularly XXWRENU(outmem))
    7. Cross fingers and sub DRLJRDEF on S1.

It worked for me, darling.
