My one question is: What is 'unload'? Is it a dump, copy (re-formatted contents or not) , SQL query, etc? Also you asked about 'parms', but you did not said what parms you tried out or against what program you're trying to use parms. I have other questions: What version of DB2 do you have? Is this an once off problem or not? For how long is it that you have that huge table? With what are you 'fetching' the records and storing it somewhere else? Some possible suggestions: Do your work hourly or give your job higher priority or split up your table in smaller chunks. Best solution was given by Ed Gould!
