EXTRACT - Extract Found Data

Purpose

The DQL Mode EXTRACT command creates a data table of the found set produced by executing a query. The data table can be used by other CA products such as CA Ideal, or by programs written at your site. The data table created cannot be used by CA Dataquery. Since the data base table is subject to database maintenance, the contents of the extracted data table may become outdated.

The size of an EXTRACT data set can be limited by the CA Dataquery Administrator. The size of the SET statement result can be limited in the System Option Table, causing the result to be zero (0). See the CA Dataquery Administrator about EXTRACT limits and see the CA Dataquery User Guide for additional information about sets and EXTRACT.
