You must specify BULKLOAD=YES to start the DB2 LOADutility. You can then bulk-load rows of data as a single unit, which can significantlyenhance performance. For smaller tables, the extra overhead of the bulk-loadingprocess might slow performance. For larger tables, the speed of the bulk-loadingprocess outweighs the overhead costs.When you use bulk load, see the SYSPRINT output for information about the load. Ifyou run the LOAD utility and it fails, ignore the messages in the SAS log because theymight be inaccurate. However, if errors existed before you ran the LOAD utility, errormessages in the SAS log might be valid.SAS/ACCESS Interface to DB2 under z/OS provides bulk loading throughDSNUTILS, an IBM stored procedure that start the DB2 LOAD utility. DSNUTILS isincluded in DB2 Version 6 and later, and it is available for DB2 Version 5 in amaintenance release. Because the LOAD utility is complex, familiarize yourself with itbefore you use it through SAS/ACCESS. Also check with your database administratorto determine whether this utility is available.Data Set Options for Bulk LoadingBelow are the DB2 under z/OSbulk-load data set options. All begin with BL_ for bulkload. To use the bulk-load facility, you must specify BULKLOAD=YES or all bulk-loadoptions are ignored. (The DB2 under z/OS interface alias for BULKLOAD= isDB2LDUTIL=.)3 BL_DB2CURSOR=3 BL_DB2DATACLAS=3 BL_DB2DEVT_PERM=3 BL_DB2DEVT_TEMP=3 BL_DB2DISC=3 BL_DB2ERR=
