Exporting data to a backup file

You can export selected SYSOUT records to a sequential file using one of the following keywords of the DSTUTIL command:

EXPUNSTR

to export the selected unstructured data to an unstructured export file

EXPSTRUC

to export the selected structured data to a structured export file

EXPBOTH

to obtain, with a single-command process, the result of the two preceding commands.

The EXPUNSTR keyword of the DSTUTIL command is used to export selected SYSOUT records to a sequential file. For details, see Defining initialization statements, under DSTUTIL.

Example:

DSTUTIL IMPUNSTR DDNAME(EQQEXP01)
     SEARCH1(JBNMLKJOB*CC*,JBDTGE19990501)
     SEARCH2(JBDTGE19990515)

This command exports the records that match the criteria to a sequential file identified by the DDNAME EQQEXP01:

  JobName  LIKE  'JOB*CC*' and jobdate  greater than or
                                                   equal to 01/05/1999

or

  jobdate greater equal than  15/05/1999
