You can use the restart load function to resume load functions that terminated abnormally. If the load function terminates before the work file has been processed completely, with the restart load you can continue from the point of termination.

The restart load requires that restart information is written to a text member (Natural object of the type Text) in accordance with the selection criteria, options and parameter settings specified for the load.

To set up the environment during the load

1. On the Load Options screen:

   • Mark the Write restart information option.

   • In the Restart text member field, enter the name of the text member to which the restart information data is written. The text member must be contained in the Workplan library.

     Or:

     Mark the Select text member field next to Restart text member and select a text member from the list of Workplans contained in the Workplan library.

   The Load Options screen is described in Work File and Report Options in the section Settings.

2. Execute the load function.

To execute the restart load after an interrupted load

1. In the Command line of the Object Handler screen, enter the following command:

   GO RESTART

   The Restart Options screen appears, where you can specify a text member by entering a name in the Restart text member field or by marking Select text member and selecting a text member from a list.

   Oder:
