I have a huge sequential dataset running some thousands of lines.My concern is can i download only a portion of the sequential dataset to the PC from line 1 to line 1000 like that using START 6 TSO COMMAND.

coolguy2005,

Why not just copy the first 1000 lines to a different file and download that file?

You can use TSO EDIT commands or utilities like SORT , FILE-AID ,REPRO to copy the first 1000 lines from a file to another file.

Hope this helps...

Cheers

If u have the browse access, then u must have copy access also.. so using file aid copy only the desired 1000 Lines from your production dataset and save the same in ur Personel PDS and after that u play with that.

Hope the above information helps you.

coolguy2005,

There are many ways to copy the first 1000 records to another file. Search the utilities forum for "STOPAFT" . You will find many examples. Also you can use Shivraj's suggestion of copying records using fileaid.

Hope this helps...

Cheers
