Limiting the Number of VSAM Records to be Imported

Use the /NUMREC=record-number argument to limit the number of records that are to be imported from VSAM files.

Example:

The following command imports an ESDS data set but only downloads the first record:

MFDAS IMPORT "<catalogfolder>\data\*.*" FROM AUTO MFI01.TESTDC.ESDS /CATLOC=c:\proj\catalog.dat /NUMREC=1

Executing this command results in the following file being imported:

• c:\proj\data\MFI01.TEST.COBOL\MFI01.TESTDC.ESDS.DAT
