Saving the distribution table (&SAVE DISTRIBUTION)

For UDS-D

&SAVE DISTRIBUTION,FILE=[:catid:][$userid.]file-name          

:catid:	BS2000 catalog identifier
userid
	User identification to which file-name is to be assigned
file-name
	Name of a SAM or ISAM file

In this case specifying :catid: is permitted (see section “Using pubsets in UDS/SQL”).

This command saves the current status of the distribution table to the given file. If this file already exists its contents are overwritten.

UDS-D edits the contents of the distribution table such that the saved file has the same format as an input file for the distribution table (see section “Structure of the input file for the distribution table”).

The saved file then contains database records and subschema records.

Any dbname, confname, processor-name or subschema-name which is locked is prefixed by a minus sign.

UDS-D does not save the following distribution table entries:

• passwords

• SS entries that are not chained to any DB entry

• DB entries that are not chained to any NODE/CONF entry
