SUPRTOOL. Extract a subset of records from the Master dataset(s). With
SUPRTOOL, you can say extract the first "n" records, or every "nth"
record until you hit a maximum. Then extract all the associated detail
records. Put these out into an a set of SD files, then use SUPRTOOL
again to load them all back into a new empty test DB. Wrap it in a
batch job and run at will.

Did it all the time. :)
