This chapter explains how to load data into a DB2 Server for VSE & VM table with the DATALOAD command. The data you are loading can be separate from the DATALOAD command or embedded in the command. You can also load data of different formats, such as DECIMAL, GRAPHIC, or CHARACTER.
This chapter also describes general loading procedures, such as how to load null values or special register values. Moreover, you can work more efficiently by loading data into multiple tables, combining records to load several table rows, or committing work while loading data. If an error stops the DATALOAD processing, you can restart the loading process. Finally, this chapter describes how statistics are collected during or after the utility has loaded the data.
