Selecting and ordering columns to unload

Use a field specification list in a FROM TABLE clause to unload specified columns in the listed order. If you omit a field specification list, all the columns in the row are unloaded in the order of the columns that are defined on the table.

About this task

You can specify a format conversion option for each field in the field specification list.

If you select a LOB column in a list of field specifications or select a LOB column by default (by omitting a list of field specifications), LOB data is materialized in the output. However, you cannot select LOB columns from image copy data sets.
