Re: Reading in file containing Low Values doesn't work correctly



I created a process to export the data from my company's DB2 tables and
read it into our backup program which creates a custom backup file. The
process using the exported data to create a backup is much faster than
our old backup process.

Unfortunately, because these fields with low values are not being read
in correctly, we are getting some bad data (spaces in fields where low
values should be).

Is there perhaps a way to have all low values exported be represented
by a different character?

Now I am trying to look into using exported data in IXF (Integrated
exchange format) instead of DEL (Delimited ASCII format). The IXF
format looks to be record sequential, which is fine. I think the only
problem is that it starts by exporting the table attributes to the
export file, followed by the data. I only need the data and I'm not
sure how I could get my program to process only the data.
