RTE_PDS_EXTRACT_FLAG
Description
Determines whether to write the data to a flat file in human-readable form, which is suitable for loading into other database management systems. The data is extracted from a full data set in EBCDIC form, but the extraction does not empty the data set. The data set is not initialized until it becomes a candidate for being emptied, so the most current data becomes available in an extracted form without that data being lost.
