Can anyone plz let me know how we can capture the reject records while writting into a dataset. I find though Sequential file offers reject links,but dataset does not offer any.

That is correct, the DataSet has no reject links. What kind of a condition can you imagine that would cause a reject (as opposed to a job abort)?

I was just wondering that if any records fails while writting into a dataset (like Sequential file) then how to handle that.Or it is like dataset being in internal format there is no chance of records being rejected.

I cannot think of a scenario where a record could get rejected where the job should not get aborted (i.e. disk full, I/O system error, etc.)
