ARCUNLOAD problem (from Jake Salomon!)
Posted in 1998
Greetings family, Jake Salomon here! I ran into a bit of trouble last night using the ARCUNLOAD program. This is the utility that allows retrieval from tape of a single table. The unload ran for 13 hours and returned "successful". However, I cannot seem to locate the output unload file! It is neither in the current directory, /tmp, nor the temp_file or output_file given as parameters. These last 2 files are not empty, but are filled with a mixture of binary and ascii characters that doesn't resemble an unload file at all. They are also identical! Anyone out there who can tell me (1) where the unloaded table file went, and (2) what the output table file is called. Thanks for everything and anything, Jake [sorry, no cool .sig today]
