Input syntax: -export <tablespace(s)/table>

Exports the specified objects. A list or a LIKE value can be defined for tablespaces; a table must always be specified singly by its name. If there are no further specifications, the export is made to the null device /dev/null . This procedure is important for testing tables and indexes for corrupted Oracle blocks. No export dump file is generated.

You can, however, run a normal export by specifying a target for the export dump file (directory or tape device, specification of tape size, if required). Only the regular SAPDBA export scripts and logs are generated.
