I have some tables on DB2 Z/OS 7.1 with SMALLINT, DECIMAL, TIMESTAMP,
DATE and CHAR datatypes.
I already have unload utilities crafted so I would just like to unload
some data on Z/OS for about 10 tables and then load them on the Windows
Server which runs DB2 UDB 8.2 .
My issue of course is with the NON-CHAR conversion.
Will using ASCII operand on Z/OS unload utility and then FTP'ing to
windows in Binary mode be the panecea?
Should I try to unload everything in basic CHAR format and FTP over in
ASCII and then do the load?
Suggestions?
