/*Parameters
The EXPORT command mandatory and optional parameters are specified below -
Mandatory Parameters
| Parameters | Description |
|---|---|
| entryname | Specifies the source name of the cluster, alternate index, or user catalog to be exported. |
| OUTFILE(ddname) | Specifies the DDname of the output dataset. Short Description: OFILE |
| OUTDATASET(dataset-name) | Specifies the name of the output dataset. Short Description: ODS |
Optional Parameters
| Parameters | Description |
|---|---|
| CIMODE | Specifies the data records written to the output dataset as one VSAM control interval. i.e., it uses control interval processing. Short Description: CIM |
| ERASE | NOERASE | Specifies the cluster components are to be overwritten with binary zeros or not when the cluster or alternate index is deleted. Short Description: ERAS or NERAS |
| INHIBITSOURCE | NOINHIBITSOURCE | INHIBITSOURCE specifies the input dataset records cannot be accessed for any operation other than retrieval after EXPORT. NOINHIBITSOURCE Specifies that there will be no restriction in accessing the input dataset records after EXPORT. Short Description: INHS | NINHS |
