-L=num-errs
directs DataLoader/MX to terminate if the number of error messages reaches num-
errs errors.
If this parameter is not specified, DataLoader/MX continues regardless of the
number of errors detected.
-O=out-file[(o-mod[,o-mod]...)]
specifies an output file to write, with optional modifiers or interpretations, or both.

out-file
is the output file. For information about the format for specifying the file
name, see Specifying File Names on page 3-10. If the file does not exist,
DataLoader/MX creates the file. Without modifiers, if the file name is an
OSS name, DataLoader/MX creates a plain OSS file. If the file name is a
Guardian name, DataLoader/MX creates an EDIT file.
If -O= is not specified, DataLoader/MX does not automatically write records
to an output file, but you can still write records from a user exit to any file.
bufsize
is the size of the buffers.
sepchar
is an alternate separation character. The default value is a comma (,).
contchar
is an alternate continuation character. The default value is an ampersand
(&).
