Catalog parameters can appear anywhere, they are processed first and then removed:

  • /CAT=Y
  • /CATLOC=<filename>
  • /CATLOG=<filename>
  • /CATOVERRIDE=<catalogpath>
  • /ENDLOG=<endlogPath> - downloads the Endevor transaction log to the specified location on an END command failure
  • /FIXEDVSAM
  • /LOGLEVEL=ERROR|VERBOSE
  • /NONDYNAMIC
  • /NUMREC=<records to import>
  • /OVERWRITE=Y|N
  • /SHOWDETAILS
