Does the Data Set Management tool give this information? If not, you could get it from the job that populated the Data Set (but this will not be useful if the write mode is Append).

The abort operator is emplaced as a safety valve - to intercept the possibility that 9999 rows have been retrieved before the head operator has had a chance to generate its sample. If the head operator works properly, then the abort operator will never be invoked.

There is a specific patch (JR36509) that will install the on-line help for the DB2 Connector (and a couple of others). Search for it on Fix Central. There is no manual that includes the DB2 Connector.
