Hi
I have a proc which uses DSNTIAUL via IKJEFT01 to unload a table.
The entire table is unloaded. The sum of column lengths is 737. I have a requirement where I need to append couple of blank spaces to the end as part of a business requirement. The SYSPUNCH always have the sum of columns. Is there a way to force trailing spaces when I unload the table.
I want to avoid another step to copy the output to another file because of some RACF restrictions.
I tried to allocate my output file before hand with 739 as the LRECL. But the utility recreated that to 737.
Any advice is appreciated |

Hi Manu,
Ask you DBA to increase the length of the last column for this table. Default is SPACES for CHAR data types.

You can supply SQL as input to the unload utility. I haven't tried running unload with the SQL suggested below but I suspect it will work:
| Code: |
| SELECT FIELD1,FIELD2,FIELD3...,FIELDn,' ' FROM YOUROWN.YOURTABLE |
The backdraw is that you have to specify all the fields to be unloaded instead of the default SELECT * where you cannot append additional information to be included.
Remember to set the PARM('SQL') when invoking DSNTIAUL. |
