Hi friends,

The problem goes like this; we have an job that processes thousands of records and inserts into db2 table; but if the file contains any invalid entry then the job gets abended; and the entire processing is written into log file. So when the job abends if we go to the end of the log file we can get the entry where the job abended. The file is so long that if we press m+F8 to go to the end of file it takes long time. So is there any way to go the end of file and get the last enrty made within short span time...
Please help me out...

Thanks,
Regards,
PRAVEEN

hi,

in the program itself keep a count of the record when ever the program is run, then u'll know which at which record it was abended.
Then using file aid u can get the record easily and can do further analysis.

Praveen,
These kind of progs are best candidates for implementing the RESTART-COMMIT logic..Some days back I have posted a doc on this.Check it..
