LIMIT keyword for the ANALYZE control statement

You can use the LIMIT keyword (or the LIM abbreviation) on the ANALYZE control statement to set a limit on the number (1 through 9999999999) of log records to process from an input log data set.

The count of records to be limited begins after 

Log Analyzer

 has skipped the number of records that was specified with the SKIP keyword. After 

Log Analyzer

 processes the specified number of records, the process terminates as though it has reached the end of the data set. Specify LIMIT=9999999999 to process an unlimited number of records.

The default is LIMIT=9999999999.

If you specify the LIMIT keyword, you must specify one SLDS keyword. The SLDS keyword is required, and multiple SLDS keywords are not allowed.

Information
Example

You are analyzing the log records in a single log data set named IMSP.LOG00001. If you do not want to process more than 10,000 records from the log data set, specify the following keywords on the ANALYZE control statement:

SLDS=(IMSP.LOG00001,R141)

LIMIT=10000
