DB2: Sample unload job using ADMF utility DSNUTILB

The below job unloads an entires database. If you want to unload a specific table space, then you will have to change the LISTDEF accordingly.

// DSNUPROC EXEC PGM=DSNUTILB,REGION=4096K,

//         PARM='DB0T,UNLOAD'

//UTPRINT  DD  SYSOUT=*          

//SYSPRINT DD  SYSOUT=*

Explanation of control card

The LISTDEF parameter defines the list of table spaces. In this case table space is coded as "MYDB.*" which means all the table spaces that starts with MYDB.

There are two TEMPLATE statements. The first TEMPLATE statement defines the template dataset name for the unload dataset and the second TEMPLATE statement defines the template dataset name for the SYSPUNCH card. The symbloc fields &DB,&TS,&DT will be substituted with the actual database name, tablespace name and date respectively when the unload/SYSPUNCH datasets are created. 

The LIST parameter in the UNLOAD statement Identifies the name of a list of objects that are defined by a LISTDEF utility control statement. PUNCHDDN parameter specifies the template name that defines data set names that are to receive the LOAD utility control statements that the UNLOAD utility generates. The UNLDDN parameter specifies the template name that defines the data set names into which the data is to be unloaded.
