I like to use the pair DB2DISK and DISK2DB (available from your local
Interex CSL)
DB2DISK dumps a dataset to a flatfile with no conversions -- binary record
dump.
DISK2DB reads a similar file and puts the record into the dataset.
Query's SAVE command creates binary record dumps (as SD files ). DISK2DB can
put these back in.
