From a technology agnostic perspective (i.e., disregard the fact that my initial
post contained the keywords Teradata, Informatica, etc), I'd like to drill down
on the activity sequencing for the different layers apropos the EDW
infrastructure upgrade and data center migration. Just looking for some rules

The V8 Utilities manual says the following:

you supply block size, that size is used; otherwise, the utility chooses a block size

have you checked with your storage management admins? Perhaps there is some
sort of overrule of the blocksize (or maybe there should be one).

I've tested it over here and it works fine for me. But, I am on DB2 V9, so
perhaps ...

I see. The record length for character separated value files is 32756,
bigger than the blocksize you specified. So the utility will make the

format (to make the recordformat VBS for instance) you're stuck with it.

I also get the VARGRAPHIC(11) using the Admin Tool (V7.02) DDL function, but in SYSPARMS via SPUFI, it's still GRAPHIC.
This is V9 NFM (RSU0910+).

So there's an alternative variation of the problem, where it appears as an Admin Tool quirk only?

This is quite diffrent from the era where the term DBA was invented.
DBA comes from the IMS era where the idea that databases were coorporate resources rather than individual resources.
