Extract—Db2 single table selective column/delimited extract

Option 2, Extract, enables you to selectively extract data from a group of related objects (MVS files, Db2 tables or views).

In this section, you will learn how to perform a Db2 single table extract that includes only selected columns that can be saved as a standard or delimited extract file. This option is only available for a Db2 single table extract from the Single Panel Extract Function as well as the Extract Menu’s Option 7, Extract File.

Warning

Important

Extracted data in delimited file format cannot be loaded using File-AID/RDX’s Load utility.

It can be loaded into other RDBMS or spreadsheets that accept delimited file format.

For this example, your extract options will be taken from the current profile, FRSAMPQK. You will specify the single Db2 table to extract from, specify the delimited extract file options, select the columns you want to include in the extract file, and submit the extract JCL for processing. To illustrate the Extract function, you will:

  • select ORDER_TABLE as the single Db2 table
  • direct the output of the extract to the file FRSAMP.DELIMEXT
  • select the columns to include
  • submit the JCL
