Answer / milind mane
In .IMPORT command in MLoad we have a option to give
record no. from which processing should begin. ie. ‘FROM m’
‘m’ is a logical record number, as an integer, of the
record in the identified data source where processing is
to begin. You can mention ’m’ as 2 and processing will
start from second record.
THRU k and FOR n are two options in the same MLoad command,
functions same towards the end of the processing.

Answer / yuvaevergreen
Adding to the above, if from n"start record" and for n "stop
record" are not mentioned, mload considers records from
start till the end of the file.

Answer / kvsnr
MultiLoad is going to need to know the structure the INPUT
flat file. Use the .LAYOUT command to name the layout.
It is used to designate the starting location for this data
based on the previous fields length. If you are listing
fields in order and need to skip a few bytes in the record,
you can either use the .FILLER (like above) to position to
the cursor to the next field, or the "*" on the Dept_No
field could have been replaced with the number 132 ( CHAR
(11)+CHAR(20)+CHAR(100)+1 ). Then, the .FILLER is not needed
