COPY Command
out-option
specifies characteristics of the output file.
BLOCKOUT out-block-length
(for copying to non-SQL files and processes only) specifies the number of bytes in a
block of the output file (the maximum number of bytes written in a single physical
operation).
out-block-length is an integer in the range 1 to 32767 that specifies a
blocksize supported for out-file. (Not all file types support the full range of
blocksizes.)
If the length of the output block is greater than the RECOUT out-record-
length, output record blocking occurs. The block is filled with out-record-
length records until it is full or until the last output record is encountered.
If the block length is not an even multiple of out-record-length, the last
record in a full block is truncated.
The actual number of bytes written in a physical operation is out-block-
length for all blocks but the last one. If the last block is not full, then the actual
number of bytes written is equal to the number of records in the last block times the
out-record-length.
If you omit BLOCKOUT and out-file is not a labeled tape, COPY uses the
RECOUT value for out-block-length and writes each output record in a
separate physical operation.
If out-file is a labeled tape, you can specify the output block length with either
the BLOCKOUT clause of the COPY command (as described here) or with the
BLOCKLEN attribute of the CLASS TAPE DEFINE for the tape. If you specify
values for both the BLOCKOUT clause and the BLOCKLEN attribute, the values
must match.
EBCDICOUT
(for copying to non-SQL files and processes only) translates ASCII characters to
their EBCDIC equivalents in the output file. If you omit EBCDICOUT, COPY does
not translate output.
In a conversion between ASCII and EBCDIC, the symbols representing each
character are the same in ASCII and EBCDIC except for the following:
ASCII EBCDIC
Exclamation point Logical OR
Left square bracket Cent sign
Right square bracket Exclamation point
Circumflex Logical NOT sign
