Hi all,
I wanna download last few records from a dataset that resides on tape.In general, IEBGENER utility can be used to download datasets from tape on to DASD.But then, i want to skip first few records and tehn download only the last ,say 500 records from the dataset on tape.Is it possible through any control statements or thru any other utilty.
Thanks & Regards,
kousalya |

Not sure if you can do what you want through IEBGENER, but you may achieve this via IDCAMS. It certainly helps if you know the number of records (n) you have got on the tape file, so you can skip (n-500) records and keep only the last 500.
REPRO INFILE(INDD) OUTFILE(OUTDD) SKIP(n-500)
INDD is the DD name for the tape file, while OUTDD is the DD name for the output DASD dataset.
Apologies if this reply doesn't help.

| Plus, sort (DF or SYNC) is much faster than IDCAMS. |
