Extracting report file using 'arsdoc get' - Output file size is more than loaded

[Nikesh PJ]

Size of report file loaded                                      :   864 MB
Size of report file extracted from Application Group: 2558 MB

I used
arsdoc get -h <Instance> -u user -p password -G AppGrp -i "where id='AAA' and date='yyyy-mm-dd' and doc_name like '931912SCA%'" -c -N -o 931912SCA

In total there were 6 objects created when the actual report was loaded.
931912SCAA
931912SCAB
931912SCAC
931912SCAD
931912SCAE
931912SCAF

But now when I extract the size of the file is more than what was loaded 

Can someone help me with this ??

You should probably try the CMOD arsdoc get -L option to fetch a load ID if that's what you want to get.

Thanks for the response JD

Actually I wanted to extract the file which was loaded to CMOD.
And reload the same file to a different Application Group with additional indexes.

We found out the issue!!
Actually we have defined the Application to break the documents based on unique account numbers in a page.
So, one page was broken to 3 logical documents.

When I try to extract the file using 'arsdoc get' , there were 3 copies of same page in the Output file.
So, most of the page were repeated thrice in the report file.

Yeah, the arsdoc get -L option would have provided you the file that was loaded into IBM CMOD. 

I'm glad you've got it working though.
