You can choose only one of the unload types. A description of each is as follows:
Y which is short for YES, specifies that the data set is to be unloaded. (This
is the default.)
N which is short for NO, specifies that this data set is not to be unloaded.
C which is short for CONTINUE, specifies that this data set and all
remaining data sets are to be unloaded.
X which is short for EXIT, specifies that this and all remaining data sets are
not to be unloaded and the program terminates.
Note that entering a “C” ends the process of unloading data sets with “editing”, but it does
not terminate the program. To terminate the program, an “X” must be entered. If
[[RETURN]] is pressed in response to this prompt, the data set is unloaded.
If you chose to unload with a chained read and also chose to unload with editing, you will
be prompted during the editing process to enter the search item's name for the detail set as
follows:
SEARCH ITEM FOR CHAINED UNLOAD>
You can enter the name or allow the program to use the default, which is the primary path
for the detail data set.
As each data set is unloaded, the program identifies the data set and the number of entries
unloaded on your terminal screen. When the entire unload process is completed, the
message “UNLOAD COMPLETED” is displayed, and the utility program terminates. An
audit report is generated and sent to the file you indicated with your response to the LIST
FILE prompt.
The following examples show how to execute the Database Unload utility program with an
explanation of the responses given to the prompts.
