Ability to Skip Data Rows for IMS Unload Data Sets During a Row Test

You can now specify the number of initial rows of data to skip when performing a row test that fetches data for IMS unload data sets.

Use the following field in the

Database Row Test

dialog box:

Skip First n Rows: New for IMSUNLD
. Indicates the number of initial rows of data to skip when the row test fetches data for display. If you are performing a row test on a large file, you can use this option to have the row test skip to a specific point in the file before displaying data. This option can help you diagnose problems in large files faster because only the data of potential interest is returned for analysis.

For this existing option to be available for IMS unload files, select
IMSUNLD
in the
DB Type
list when you configure the row test.

Valid values are 0 to 99999. Default is 0, which causes no rows to be skipped.
