The AUTOSTOP keyword is valid with the OREORG command.

To do this

Specify this in PLUSIN

The AUTOSTOP keyword specifies parameters to automatically stop the online reorganization. The correct syntax follows:

AUTOSTOP (RECORDS(n) TIME(hhmm) MINUTES(n) KEY(x))
  • RECORDS
    Values range from 1 through 9999999.
  • TIME
    Specify four numeric characters that represent a 24-hour clock. Values range from 0000 through 2359.
  • MINUTES
    Values range from 1 through 10080 (the number of minutes in seven days).
  • KEY
    Specify KEY for HIDAM databases only; KEY is not valid with MODE(RECORD) reorganizations. Specify hexadecimal or character format. Valid syntax includes:
    • x
    • 'x'
    • ''x''
    • X'xx'
    • C'x'

If you specify more than one parameter, the reorganization automatically stops when the earliest parameter is triggered. For example, the following parameter triggers a reorganization to stop after moving 500,000 records or stop at 5 a.m., whichever occurs first:

AUTOSTOP((RECORDS,500000)(TIME,0500))
