generate a template (syspunch) file - you can use a dummy unload to generate a starting point. then edit the syspunch and modify the positions, lengths, types to match your csv file. then run the load.

dsnugh11 is the db2 vs7 utility guide. you can download the pdf from IBM

this is a link to the IBM document center publibz.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr_OS390/FINDBOOK?filter=DB2&SUBMIT=Find&Collection=0

the above link will select all DB2 books.

when you have questions, ask. This type of question has several threads on this website.

Can you write a SYSPUNCH to handle variable length data like the following?
