BL_DB2MGMTCLAS=management-class

Details

This option applies to the control file (BL_DB2IN=), the input file (BL_DB2REC=), and the output file (BL_DB2PRINT=) for the bulk loader. Use this option to specify a management class for a new SMS-managed data set. If SMS is not installed or active, the operating environment ignores any management class that BL_DB2MGMTCLAS= passes. Your site storage administrator specifies the management class names that you can specify when you use this option.
