TBAM Dump/Load: A Database Building Tool

Datatek’s TBAM Dump/Load is a set of utilities used to reformat and rebuild TBAM databases. TBAM Dump extracts data from TBAM databases into a format that can then be used by TBAM Load. TBAM Load inserts the data into a new TBAM database while optionally modifying it. TBAM Dump/Load works with physical mediums (disks, CDs, tapes) as well as over a network connection.

Some Of TBAM/Dump-Load’s Features Include:

Insert / Delete / Duplicate / Rearrange data record fields
Replace existing data record fields with smaller or larger fields
Perform standard translations (e.g., ASCII to EBCDIC)
Create customized translation tables
Convert record types (e.g., variable length records to fixed length)
Conditionally skip records
Sort on custom collating sequences
Remove duplicate records

TBAM Load supports the same data modification capabilities as TBAM-SORT. By using a simple command file, extracted records from a TBAM database can be modified, converted, skipped, inserted, and reformatted while being reloaded into a new database. A program is no longer needed to change database field data types and sizes, extract a specific set of database records for a new database, or change the format of a key. A simple TBAM Dump/Load script is all that is required. TBAM Load supports the manipulating of keys, data records, and partial records. A large number of data type conversions (including many COBOL data types) are available. Contact a Datatek representative for more information about TBAM Dump/Load.
