Explanation

The maximum length of the output records exceeded the physical limit for the UNLOAD utility.

System action

The utility job terminates.

User response

Consider one or more of the following options that can reduce the length of the output record, if possible:
  • Use the NOPAD option.
  • Unload only the necessary fields using the field specification options.
  • Specify the LENGTH option with TRUNCATE and/or STRIP options for the applicable fields.
If the above options can not be applied, you will have to use an application to unload the data from the table.
