Controlling subset pointer retention when extracting data from an online DEDB
If subset pointer settings are defined in the DEDB, you can specify one of the following values for the SUBSET_POINTERS keyword:
Value | Description |
|---|---|
NO | (Default) Clears all subset pointers in output areas and does not transfer subset pointers from input areas to output areas |
YES | Transfers subset pointers from input areas to output areas The actual pointer value (RBA) is translated to refer to the location of the segment after it has been transferred to an output area. |
The following figure shows an example of the SUBSET_POINTERS keyword with the EXTRACT command:
EXTRACT DBD=<dbdName>,EXTRACT_FORMAT=HDUNLOAD,SUBSET_POINTERS=YES
