You can narrow down which records you want to process by specifying record
selection criteria. Only records whose contents satisfy the criteria
are selected. You specify record selection criteria using REXX comparison
expressions.
Note: Record selection criteria is applied on the input data before any
field mapping or data conversion is performed, whereas the REXX import
procedure applies after any field mapping or data conversion
is performed.
For example, the template shown in Import Utility: Field Selection/Edit panel for the “From” data set has been edited to select only records that meet certain
criteria. If you use this template as the From template for your Import utility, the data imported is
restricted to records where SALARY contains a value greater than 50 000.
If you press Enter, FM/Db2 saves the updated template and returns
you to the Import Utility “From” panel.
Note: For more information about specifying record selection criteria, see the File Manager User’s Guide and Reference.
