PAD or NOPAD


Use PAD to tell BMC AMI Unload to pad a VARCHAR-keyword column to its full length. Use NOPAD to tell BMC AMI Unload to unload the column as is, without any padding.

You cannot specify PAD with the ASCIIDEL format.

If you do not specify PAD or NOPAD, the defaults are as follows:

  • For the DSNTIAUL and EXTERNAL formats, the default is PAD unless you specify RECFM=V on the OUTDDN DD statement.
  • For the UNLOAD-format, the default is PAD.
