Filter, Discard Records, and Logfile text boxes

The Load Job window now has entries for a device and format. The next incomplete items in the Load Job window are the Filter text box, the Discard Records text box, and the Logfile text box.

Filter text box

Use a filter to choose the records from the data file that should be inserted into the table. In this example, all of the records from the /work/mydata data file are inserted into the database table. Therefore, you do not need to create a filter. For this example, you can leave the Filter text box blank.
