Frank et al,
I'm running a simple DFSORT job in which I want to extract an ID
number from the first record in a file. I'm using STARTREC=1,ENDREC=1
to do that. But DFSORT insists on reading the entire input file even
despite the ENDREC value. This happens for values other than ENDREC=1, too.
Is there any way to convince DFSORT not to bother reading the rest of
the input once the ENDREC value has been exceeded?
RECORDS - IN: 214563, OUT: 214563
SORTOUT : DELETED = 214562, REPORT = 0, DATA = 1
SORTOUT : TOTAL IN = 214563, TOTAL OUT = 1
END OF DFSORT
