EXPORT
EXPORT is a report-specific command that you can issue only from reports.
EXPORT copies the source record file for the current report (all IFCIDs that the report uses) to an external DASD data set.
The EXPORT Source Record File panel (DOMEQPRD) prompts you for the data set name. Before you issue the EXPORT command, you must allocate and catalog the data set with the following attributes:
Attribute | Value |
|---|---|
RECFM | V, VB, or VBS |
DSORG | PS |
LRECL | If RECFM is V: ignored If RECFM is VB: size of the largest record (up to 32 KB) If RECFM is VBS: size of the largest record (up to 32KB) |
BLKSIZE | If RECFM is V: size of the largest record (up to 32KB) If RECFM is VB: LRECL plus 4 If RECFM is VBS: optional |
If you are unsure of the size of your largest record, use the following attributes:
- RECFM: VB
- LRECL: 32756
- BLKSIZE: 32760
When the EXPORT completes successfully, message BMC24248 tells you the number of records that were written to the data set. To view this exported data, activate the same report and use the data set as the source.
Type EXPORT (or an appropriate abbreviation) on the Command line, and press Enter.
