<h1 class="topictitle1">Copy files to and from tape</h1>
<div><p>There are several different commands that you can use to copy files
to and from tape.</p>
<div class="section"> <p>You can copy a table or file to tape using the <span class="cmdname">Copy
to Tape (CPYTOTAP)</span> command on the <span class="keyword">iSeries™ server</span>.</p>
<p>Data
on tape can be loaded on another server using the <span class="cmdname">Copy from Tape
(CPYFRMTAP)</span> command. For more information about using the command,
see the Storage solutions topic.</p>
<p>You can also use the <span class="cmdname">Copy
File (CPYF)</span> command to load data on tape into DB2
Universal Database™ for iSeries. This is especially useful when loading data
that was unloaded from DB2 Universal Database™ for z/OS<sup>®</sup>, or DB2
Universal Database Server for VM (SQL/DS™). Nullable data can be unloaded
from these servers in such a way that a single-byte flag can be associated
with each nullable field. <span class="cmdname">CPYF</span> with the *NULLFLAGS option
specified for the FMTOPT parameter can recognize the null flags and ignore
the data in the adjacent field on the tape and make the field null in <span class="keyword">DB2<sup>®</sup> UDB for iSeries</span>. Another useful FMTOPT parameter
value for importing data from IBM<sup>®</sup> mainframes is the *CVTFLOAT value. It
allows floating point data stored on tape in S/390<sup>®</sup> format to be converted to the IEEE
format used by <span class="keyword">DB2 UDB for iSeries</span>.</p>
