DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / 980 - DB2

When importing data from an IXF file and the ROWCOUNT <n> 
attribute is specified, if the file contains more than <n> rows, 
the import process will still need to read through the remainder 
of the rows. 
This is done in order to process the index information which is 
stored at the end of the IXF file. 
 
However, this reading and skipping of records that are not 
required, happens in an inefficient way, which can lead to the 
import being much slower than expected. ( e.g. slower than 
importing all rows ). 
 
This apar fixes this inefficiency. 
 
Note, the SKIPCOUNT and RESTARTCOUNT IMPORT options also have 
this problem.
