Extract DB2 tables without duplicate column header

Hi,
I need to extract DB2 tables. I do not want the column header to be repeated.

We have only SPUFI. There is no QMF & FileAID installed here.

Please let me know if I can extract the tables without the column header repeated.

Also let me know if there is a JCL to extract the tables, so that I can avoid SPUFI extract.

Thanks

B,

What are you tying to accomplish? Why don't you want column headings? You could use an Unload, but then there would be no column headings

Dave,
I am trying to extract DB2 tables and format it to load into somother database like SQL server.
Could you provide a detailed info for unload.

If I use spufi query of select * from tablename, it gives me repeated column headings and also the sql is displayed on the top of the file. I do not want to delete this manually (using x all command) as I am trying to automate this process.

Thanks
B

B,

So you want it unloaded to a flat file.

What do you want the structure to be like?

Straight file layout? delimitted? Character?

I generally sort the output dataset of SPUFI from the command prompt by command "SORT 1 80" and then delete all the headers at one shot.
