OUT (O)

The OUT parameter controls the number of records that are written or printed before processing stops. OUT can be used to limit the output, or to extend the amount of printed output past the default of 250 records.

The syntax of the OUT parameter is:

OUT=n

n

Number from 0 (zero) to 999999999. Use OUT=0 to process the entire file.


Important

The OUT parameter is ignored when the UPDATE function is specified, but the OUT parameter is not ignored when used with an IF.

Example:

$$DD01 DUMP OUT=25

This example generates a hexadecimal print of the first 25 records.
