selection-options
COMParelen <1-to-255 >
sets the compare length for generic positioning on the record key (primary or
alternate) specified in the FIRST KEY option. The compare length must be less
than or equal to the key specified.
COUNT num-records
is the number of records or rows to be copied. If omitted, all records are copied.
FIRST ordinal-record-num
KEY { record-spec | key-value }
key-spec ALTKEY key-value [, key-value ]
the starting record of the input file to copy. If omitted, the copy starts at the first
record or row in the input file.
ordinal-record-num
is the number of records from the beginning of the file that are to be skipped. The
first record in a file is record zero.
KEY { record-spec | key-value }
the primary key value for the starting record or row of a structured disk file.
record-spec is an integer on the range of 0 to 4294967295.
•
For unstructured files, record-spec is the starting relative byte address.
•
For relative files, record-spec is the starting record number.
•
For entry-sequenced files, record-spec is the ordinal-record-number.
key-value applies only to key-sequenced files and specifies the approximate
position of the starting record; key-value is specified as a string or as integer
byte values in the range of 0 to 255.
The key-value is entered as follows:
“[“ { string } [, { string } ] “]”
{ 0:255 } [ { 0,255 } ]
where the integers represent the byte values. To specify a list of strings, enclose
each string in quotation marks separated by a comma and enclose the list in
square brackets.
key-specifier
is the alternate key tag (1 or 2 bytes) designating the alternate key to be used
for positioning.
