7.6.1.2 Check Point Processing Options (CHECKPOINTMODE)

Normally, CA MICS Checkpoint processing will cause a U300
ABEND if there is less than ten new records input or selected
during daily processing of an FDA.  Since FDAs using MSI can
support multiple input files, MSI provides options to control
when checkpoint processing occurs.

The syntax of the CHECKPOINTMODE statement is

  CHECKPOINTMODE option

where option is LAST, INFO, or FILE.  The default is FILE.

CHECKPOINTMODE options are

     LAST - at least 10 observations for all files in the MSI
            FDA.

     INFO - all files within an Information area must have at
            least ten observations.

     FILE - each file must have at least 10 observations.
