Parameter Specifications

DECIMAL

Specifies the character that is used to designate the decimal point in DSV column output. It cannot be the same as the delimiter value. Suggested value for USA is a period (.), for Europe, it is a comma (,).

DELIMITER

Specifies the character that is used to separate columns within the DSV output. Only one character can be chosen for all DSV output generated in a given DSVOUT function execution. Choose a character value that would not normally occur in the DST, Snapshot, and Delta rows. Suggested value is a semi-colon (;).

HEADER

Specifying YES (default) tells the DSVOUT function to produce a column header as the first row in the DSV output. NO indicates that the column headers are to be suppressed and only data values are written to the DSV output files.

The expected return code is 0 when executing the DSVOUT function. For details on the AUTOCOLL OPTION=DSVOUT syntax, parameters, JCL and sample output report see the CA Datacom/DB DBUTLTY Reference Guide.
