Printing records (PRINT, OUTFMT, and TOFILE(*PRINT) parameters)
Note: You can use the parameters described in this topic on the CPYF,
CPYFRMDKT, CPYFRMQRYF, and CPYFRMTAP commands.
You can print a list of all records copied, all records excluded, or all records
causing ERRLVL output errors. You do this by specifying PRINT special values on
a copy command. You can specify one or more of these listings on a single copy
command, using character or hexadecimal format.
You can also print an unformatted listing of records. See “Creating an unformatted
print listing” on page 106 for more information.
Printing a list of all records copied:
To print a list of all of the records that you copied, specify TOFILE(*PRINT) on the
copy command. The records are printed using the IBM-supplied printer file
QSYSPRT.
Printing a list of excluded records:
Specify *EXCLD on the PRINT parameter to print a listing of only the records that
you excluded from the copy. When you specify PRINT(*EXCLD), the records print
in the from-file format.
Printing a list of copied records:
Specify *COPIED on the PRINT parameter to print a listing of only the records that
you copied. When you specify PRINT(*COPIED) and MBROPT(*UPDADD), the
records copied and the records updated appear on the same listing. A message
follows each updated record that states that it was an update.
Printing a list of records that cause errors:
Specify *ERROR on the PRINT parameter to print a listing of the records that
caused ERRLVL output errors. (The ERRLVL parameter still controls the number of
recoverable errors that can occur.) See “Preventing errors when copying files” on
page 122 for information on error recovery and the ERRLVL parameter. Only the
number of records up to one (1) greater than the ERRLVL value that is specified
are printed in the *ERROR listing. The listing is similar to the PRINT(*COPIED)
and PRINT(*EXCLD) listings.
Selecting the format of the listing:
Use the OUTFMT parameter to specify whether your listing prints in character or
hexadecimal format. The default value is *CHAR, and records print in character
format. If you specify *HEX, records print in both character and hexadecimal
format.
If you specify TOFILE(*PRINT), the OUTFMT parameter again specifies the format
that is used to print the records.
