To our Db2 Utilities from Broadcom users:
We are pleased to announced enhancement to our Fast Unload and Fast Load products. You can find details below.
CA Fast LoadSupport for TEMPLATE statements to Dynamically Allocate Input Data Sets
CA Fast Load now supports the use of the TEMPLATE control statement and INDDN keyword to dynamically allocate SYSULD data sets without static JCL DD statements. You can use variables to define data set names, and set allocation parameters to automate, simplify, and standardize your process. You can take advantage of a z/OS UNIX System Services (USS) pipe for improved performance by defining a USS file PATH name and associated parameters.
