KPDXTRA parameters
The following table specifies the parameters of KPDXTRA, along with their default values and descriptions.
KPDXTRA parameters
Parameter Default Value Description PREF= none Required parameter. Identifies the high level qualifier where the output files are written. DELIM= tab Specifies the separator character to use between columns in the output file. The default is a tab character X'05'. To specify some other character, specify the 2-byte hexadecimal representative for that character. For example, to use a comma, specify DELIM=6B. QUOTE NQUOTE Optional parameter that puts double quotes around all character type fields. Trailing blanks are removed from the output. Makes the output format of the KPDXTRA program identical in format to the output generated by the distributed krarloff rolloff program. NOFF off Causes the creation (if set to ON) or omission (if set to OFF) of a separate file (header file) that contains the format of the tables. Also controls the presence or absence of the header in the output data file that is created as a result of the extract operation. If OFF is specified, the header file is not created but the header information is included as the first line of the data file. The header information shows the format of the extracted data.
