Error log file

If errors are encountered when loading data, an error message is displayed, and a log file is generated. The log file also contains the date and time, the data and configuration file names, and the selected runtime options. Any data records in error are written to a separate file.

Both files can be found in the directory where the data file resides. The log file is named after the data file along with a load number. The log file has an .HTM file extension. For example, datafilE12.htm.

The file containing the data records in error data is also named after the load file along with a load number. This file has a file extension of .BAD. For example, datafile12.bad.
