DB2 Version 9.7 for Linux, UNIX, and Windows

Worksheet Format (WSF) for Import and Export utilities has been deprecated

The Worksheet Format (WSF) was used for data exchange with products such as Lotus® 1-2-3® and Symphony. Support for the file format is deprecated and might be removed in a future release.

Details

WSF files have limitations relative to other supported file formats. This format is not recommended for DB2 utilities.

User response

Start using a supported file format instead of WSF files before support is removed.

For existing WSF files, convert to another format by loading the data back into DB2 tables and exporting the data to a supported format such as ASC, DEL, or PC/IXF.
