DUMP (D)

The DUMP parameter generates a dump of a selected number of records while the primary function (for example, COPY, etc.) continues processing the entire file. SYSLIST DUMP Request Output provides an example of the output produced by the DUMP parameter or function (see also DUMP (D)).

Warning

Important

Do not use the DUMP parameter with the DUMP, LIST, PRINT, FPRINT, or VPRINT functions.

The syntax of the DUMP parameter is:

DUMP=n

n

Number of records to dump. Any number from 0 (zero) to 999999999 can be used. Dumping of records can be based on one or more data selection parameters. Use DUMP=0 to dump all selected records.

Example:

$$DD01 COPY DUMP=25

This example copies the entire data set while dumping the first 25 records.
