Unloading a DEDB offline with FPB

You can unload a DEDB by using the DEDB Unload utility of FPB.

The unload function in FPB is run by program FABCUR1.

The DEDB Unload utility (FABCUR1) efficiently unloads a single DEDB area, or concurrently unload multiple DEDB areas, without impacting all areas of a database. They can be approximately 10 to 20 times faster than the equivalent function using "GN" and "ISRT" processing under the control of IMS.
