DISCARDS

Specify the DISCARDS option to define the limit on the number of records that UNLOAD PLUS discards.

The default is DISCARDS 0 (no limit).

Records that UNLOAD PLUS discards for any reason count toward the limit that you specify with the DISCARDS option. UNLOAD PLUS terminates if it reaches the discard limit.

UNLOAD PLUS discards records that have the following types of errors:

  • Conversion errors
  • Rejected records based on a user-written exit routine
  • SYSREC records truncated due to the length of LOB or XML data

UNLOAD PLUS does not write the discarded records to any data set.

For related details about the role that the DISCARDS option plays during character conversion when UNLOAD PLUS is unloading fields that result in SUBBYTE AND ERRORBYTE processing, see SUBBYTE and ERRORBYTE.
