BAD_REC_FILE

Restriction: This topic applies to Windows environments only.

Causes records containing errors to be written to the file (called the record log file) with the file name specified after this command. This command only used for fixed-format ASCII, free-format ASCII, and DSNTIAUL file formats. The syntax is:

BAD_REC_FILE = filename;

where filename is the name of the file, including extension and path, for the record log file. If you don't specify a path, the record log file is put in your current directory.

If a record contains multiple errors, a copy of that record is written to the record log file for each error.

Note:

If this batch command is used for a batch import of a file type other than DSNTIAUL, Free- or Fixed-format ASCII file, then a warning is generated as a reminder that a record log file is not generated for the import of other file types.

For example:

BAD_REC_FILE = C:\LOGFILES\BATCH.BRF;

saves records with errors to the file batch.brf.
