Utility Statements › RELOAD › RELOAD Parameter

RELOAD Parameter

STEP

Specifies that only one step of the reload operation should be executed.

If you do not specify STEP, all steps in the reload process are performed as a single operation.

step-name

Specifies the name of the step to execute.

The name must be one of the following:

• SORT1
• IDMSDBL2
• SORT2
• IDMSDBLX
• SORT3
• IDMSDBL3
• SORT4
• IDMSDBL4

FROM

Specifies that RELOAD processing should begin at a specified step and complete all remaining steps.

If you specify FROM, all remaining steps are treated together as a single operation.

step-name

Specifies the name of the step to execute.

The name must be one of the following:

• SORT1
• IDMSDBL2
• SORT2
• IDMSDBLX
• SORT3
• IDMSDBL3
• SORT4
• IDMSDBL4

Note: For more information and an explanation about when you can restart steps IDMSDBL2, IDMSDBL3, or IDMSDBL4, see "Usage" in this section.

NOTIFY

Indicates a message is sent to the system console after a specified number of records have been processed in the current step.

notify-record-count

Specifies the number of records to process before sending a message.

By default or if 0 is specified, no message is sent to the system console except the standard message sent at the end of each step indicating the number of records processed during the step.

Notify messages are only displayed by steps IDMSDBL2, IDMSDBL3, and IDMSDBL4 when a NOTIFY-RECORD-COUNT is specified.

as SORTEXIT

Causes each DBLx step in the utility to return its input data directly from the preceding sort instead of having the sort write the data to a workfile. This option eliminates one workfile for each sort and saves the I/O it takes to write, then read, the workfile.

REUSE workfiles

Causes each step in the utility to reuse an existing workfile, if possible, when writing its output data, instead of writing to a new one for each step. This reduces the number of workfiles that need to be allocated.
