(asterisks indicate options that may appear more than once)

Dump job-related information from the GEN database of one Lawson Environment to enable it to be loaded into another using jobload.

Note: You must specify the order you want data in for the dumpfile. Specify first DstGrp, second Job, and finally RecurJob to ensure the proper execution of jobload.
Program Option Description
d Output dump file format. Without the -d option, the default is a -s summary list.
l Replace $LAWDIR with "$LAWDIR" in output. It is equivalent to -m LawDir $LAWDIR "$LAWDIR".
f Dump information from dump file inFileName. The default without this option is to dump all job information from the database.

Output objects of type objName, where object is a job or recurring job. The default, without the option, dumps all (that is, -o Job dumps only jobs).

To limit selection:

jobdump -o job -v jobname xyz

Output only objects with fieldName = value, for example, -o Job -v JobName MY JOB
