I have a sequential file stage, generic stage and data set stage. In the generic stage, I have:
Operator = tail -nrecs 5
However, always 10 records get copied to the data set. The source sequential file has lot more records. Any ideas?

Hi,
Better if you explain your job. This looks like an interview question.

No meena, this is not a interview question. I have a good job and I am pretty happy about it. I am playing around with the Generic stage after I saw a post on this forum. I am trying to see what its unique capabilities are.
My job has the stages I have described. However, 10 records are always being copied where it should copy only 5 as my tail statement has 5.

Are you running on a two-node configuration? The -nrecs option is per node. See Orchestrate Operators manual, page 10-3 (version 7.5).

ray, thanks. Yes, I have a 2 node configuration and that is why it was sending 10.

Alas, you can't use
-nrecs 2.5 !
