My first recommendation would be to do this with Perl and DBI. Fairly simple that way. If not, try using SQL generating SQL to spool the data out. Check out dump.sql at www.cybcon.com/~jkstill/util, and modify for your needs. UTL_FILE will probably not work for this due to buffer

Hello Gurus I just would like to know when this statement SET TRANSACTON USE ROLLBACK SEGMENT 'XXX' should be used exactly. In the sense should I always write it after a BEGIN(for all my programs) or should I write it in processes which involves HUGE volume of records. Please clarify

David, It was mainframe and COBOL shop, we did not use delimiters in the data files. All the files were using fixed format for data fields. There was one file per table (datasets as they are called in the Burroughs (Unisys) DMSII database). I think one file per table would be much easier to deal
