(*) A named pipe can be used for this sequential file (not on Open VMS, see Administration, Using Utilities for details).

The sequential file ERRIN can have multiple extents. For detailed information about sequential files with multiple extents, see Administration, Using Utilities.

The utility writes no checkpoints.

Control Parameter

The following control parameter is available:

[NO]DUMP

[NO]DUMP

If NODUMP is specified, only a description (length of record, ISN of the record etc.) of each error record will be output, but not the actual record content. See the section Rejected Data Records in this section for information on the contents of the error records.

If DUMP is specified, the record content will be dumped in addition to the record description. For ADACMP, the decompressed record will be dumped, whereas for ADADCU the compressed record will be dumped.

The default is NODUMP.
