Use the TESTMODE statement to generate a report of the maps or registrations selected for processing without making any in-memory changes or updating the output files.
The TESTMODE statement tests the effect of EXCLUDE and SELECT statements so that copy scenarios can be modeled and refined.
The TESTMODE statement produces a report with the following information:
The maps or registrations included in the initial result set.
The maps or registrations that are excluded by the EXCLUDE parameter. The EXCLUDE parameter takes precedence over the SELECT parameter.
The maps or registrations that are selected by the SELECT parameter.
The total number of maps or registrations read by the utility.
This statement is optional, and has no operands.
If you run the utility with both TESTMODE and VALIDATE statements in the input, the utility runs the TESTMODE statement. If you run the utility without the TESTMODE statement or VALIDATE statement, the utility runs in update mode.
