HELPLIB.HLB  —  RMU72  Load  Database  Command Qualifiers, Skip
    Skip=n
    Noskip

    Ignores the first n data records in the input file. Use this
    qualifier in conjunction with the Commit_Every qualifier
    when restarting an aborted load operation. An aborted load
    operation displays a message indicating how many records have
    been committed. Use this value for n. If you specify a negative
    number, you receive an error message. If you specify a number
    greater than the number of records in the file, you receive an
    error message stating that no records have been stored. If you
    do not specify a value, you receive an error message stating that
    there is a missing keyword value.

    Using the Skip qualifier to restart an aborted parallel load
    operation is rarely useful. Because records are sorted by the
    controller for each executor involved in the parallel load, there
    are usually multiple sections of loaded and unloaded records in
    the input file. Unless you are very familiar with the data you
    are loading and how it is sorted by the controller, you risk
    loading some records twice and not loading other records at all,
    if you use the Skip qualifier when restarting an aborted parallel
    load operation.

    The default is the Noskip qualifier.
