Uses the Teradata NO SPOOL feature to unload a crashdump faster.

Syntax

Syntax Elements

Usage Notes

NOSPOOL is disabled by default, so must be explicitly enabled before using the UNLOAD command. NOSPOOL remains enabled until explicitly changed, or until the dul session is ended.

When NOSPOOL is enabled, the number of blocks received is displayed only when the unload operation has completed.

Example: Using the NOSPOOL command in dul

To enable and disable the feature:
