Changing the load options

Before you begin

Before you run a load job, you can review or change any load options. The load options include specifying the number of records to load, the starting record number, and the loading mode.

About this task

The ipload utility stores option information in the session table of the onpload database.

The Load Options window contains the following option text boxes.
Table 1. The Load Options window options
Option Description

Tapes The number of tapes that contain source data
Number Records The number of records to process in the data file
Start Record The record number in the data file from which to start loading
Max Errors The maximum number of error conditions to be encountered
