Load Jcl

Post by archup20 » Fri Oct 26, 2012 10:23 am

Hi,

I need to load few records in to a table. My question is what does the Position in load card signify?

for eg:
(
T_N POSITION( 1 ) CHAR ( 6)
)

Also I wanted to know if I remove some columns in load card(these colums should not be loaded to the table)will those not be loaded to the table?
Please help

What purpose do you think it'd be serving? Please have a look in manuals, it is very well explained there.

And what has this to do with JCL? None of the lines you posted begin with //. I suspect that you are referring to some load utility's control cards which are not JCL. you also do not specify which utility.
