Command line syntax rules

The following rules apply when you run Optim™ High Performance Unload from your operating system command line or script, using the db2hpu command and its options:

• One of the following options is required: -f[ile] , -t[able] , -select, or -v[ersion] . All other command-line options are optional and can appear in any order.
• Where applicable, you can specify either the full or the abbreviated option name. For example, you can use both -database and -d to specify a database name.

  All the option names must be in lowercase, regardless of whether you specify the full or the abbreviated name.

• Unless the values entered for table_name, and database_name are enclosed in double quotation marks, Optim High Performance Unload converts them to uppercase in accordance with the Db2® naming conventions.
• Names that contain double-byte characters (DBCS) should always be enclosed in double quotation marks.
• For options with associated values, you must separate the option names from the values with at least one space.
• Options specified on the command line override similar options that you specified in a Optim High Performance Unload control file.
