Allocate the Unload Data Set

After the storage requirements have been calculated for the UNLOAD data set, the data set must be allocated.

To allocate the unload data set

  1. Edit the CIAALLOC job in CAI.CAK0JCL0. Change the job to include the necessary space allocation and to conform to your installation standards.

    The UNLOAD data set is allocated as physical sequential (PS) with a variable length (VB) record format, and a record length of 3157 (the maximum record length of a target table).

  2. Submit the job.

    The job runs and completes.

  3. Verify the output of the CIAALLOC job.

    The UNLOAD data set is allocated.
