Normally, the ARCRET utility removes intermediate files after each batch set is complete and before it starts the next set. Use the /K parameter to keep these files for each batch sets. Each set of files is renamed with an extension that matches the set (batch) count. For instance, the files from the first batch of records will be renamed as *.1; the second set of files as *.2; and so on.
Be careful using this parameter. Depending upon the size of each transaction and the number of transactions retrieved, using this parameter can consume a lot of file space. Keep in mind you must remove these files when the ARCRET utility finishes.
