EXAMINE Statement

The following section describes the EXAMINE Statement.

EXAMINE [PERCENT=100|n]
[,BYPASS=0|n]
[,SKIP=0|n]
[,EXTRACT=0|n]

The EXAMINE statement initiates test compressions for the list of data sets selected by the SCAN, SELECT, and EXCLUDE statements which precede it. All records in all data sets are test compressed unless record sampling is specified by the BYPASS, SKIP, and/or EXTRACT parameters on the EXAMINE statement itself, or on any SET statement coded in the command stream.
