EXTRACT FORMAT EXTRACT
EXTRACT_FORMAT=EXTRACT (the default) specifies that the file be formatted in the standard
Fast Path Analyzer/EP
extract file format.
This format should be used when the application that will read the extract data does not have specific formatting requirements or when those requirements have not yet been determined. For the record layout that is used in this format, see Fast Path/EP products reference information.
EXTRACT_FORMAT=EXTRACT lets you control the following processes:
- Data expansion (EXPAND keyword)
- Selection of segments for input (INCLUDE/EXCLUDE subcommands and associated keywords)
- Exclusion of data records for selected segments from the output file (OUTPUT subcommand with optional WHERE keyword)
- Controlling segment data content (OUTPUT subcommand with FIELDS keyword)
- Sorting of the extract file (SORT and SORT_OPTION keywords)
EXTRACT_FORMAT=EXTRACT does not let you control the following processes:
- Specifying a segment data record prefix or suffix
- Specifying header or trailer records
The following figure shows the record layout when EXTRACT_FORMAT=EXTRACT is selected.
