Definition

Specifies that the data is to be unloaded by tablespace scan, then sorted in clustering order. Records always are sorted by the table in order to retain the clustering of records of the same table.

This option is recommended to improve performance unless one of the following is true:

  • The data is in perfect clustering order and the REORG utility is used to reclaim space from dropped tables.
  • The dataset is very large and there is not enough DASD available for sorting.
  • The longest possible composite record size is greater than 32760.
