JCL Statements

This section describes the JCL statements used with the MFDB2LOA utility.

In the EXEC statement you need to specify the program name MFDB2LOA or its alias DSNUTILB. For example:

//STEPEXEC DSNUTILB, ...

The PARM parameters are the same as for DSNUTILB; however, MFDB2LOA provides the following additional parameter:

FBD

Checks for x'00' in columns defined as CHAR, VARCHAR, or LONGVARCHAR; if found, the table column definition is changed to enable FOR BIT DATA.

For example:

//UTILSAMP EXEC PGM=DSNUTILB,REGION=1024K,
//             PARM='DB5B,MFIMAG,,FBD'
