To construct a similar command, start at the top left with the command
tbunload. Then follow the diagram to the right, including the elements that
you want. Figure 1 illustrates the following steps.
1. Type tbunload.
2. Optionally,change the parameters of the tapedevice thatis to receive
the data.
If you wish to do this, turn to page 7-109 for further syntax informa-
tion. Otherwise, tbunload uses the current archive tape device.
3. Specify either a database name or a table name to indicate the data
that you wish to copy to tape.
You can take the direct route to the terminator, or you can take an
optional path indicated by any one of the branches below the main
line.
Once you are back at the main diagram, you come to the terminator.
Your tbunload command is complete.
4. Press RETURN to execute the command.

WHERE customer_num = 121
