Comments

• IGNORE(WHEN) will cause LOAD to ignore records which do not
  satisfy the WHEN clause.
  
  ----+------------------+-->
      |                  |
      '---IGNORE(WHEN)---'
  
  
  IGNORE(WHEN)
  
  Specifies that records that do not satisfy the WHEN clause
  will be ignored. If discarding is specified, records that do
  not satisfy the when clause will not be loaded, and will not
  be written to the DISCARD data set.  If discarding is not
  specified, records that do not satisfy the WHEN clause do not
  cause LOAD to terminate.
  
  Use the record count messages in the Utility output to
  determine the number of records ignored.
  
  Under the WHEN clause description:
  The option following WHEN describes a condition; input records
  that satisfy the condition are loaded. Input records that do
  not satisfy any WHEN clause INTO TABLE statement are written
  to the discard data set, if one is being used and the
  IGNORE(WHEN) option is not specified.
