The ACCEPT=n parameter is used to limit the number of records processed for the OUTFIL group. Records entering OUTFIL processing that are not excluded by any of the INCLUDE, OMIT, SAMPLE, STARTREC, or ENDREC parameters are included in the ACCEPT count, and no further records are processed after n records have been included. If ENDREC has also been specified, processing will stop when either one has been satisfied.
