*Scan Limit

The *Scan Limit field specifies a limit to the number of records that are to be read at a time. If additional selection is applied when reading records from the database (for instance, on the previous *Record selected field), then a limit can be specified on the number of records that can be unsuccessfully read.

The default value for the Scan Limit is 500. For example, to specify that the Scan Limit is to be 100, use the built-in function *MOVE to set the *Scan Limit field to this value in the USER: Initialization exit point of an action diagram:

  PGM. *Scan limit = CON. 100                     <<<
