UNLOAD

Use the UNLOAD command to unload in offline mode one or more areas from a DEDB in a file format compatible with the IBM HD Reorganization Unload utility.

The ACB of the database being unloaded is used to describe the areas and is referenced by the IMSACB DD statement. This command can be used to produce an unload file to be processed later by the IBM HD Reorganization Reload Utility to create an HDAM database for BTS testing.
