Data Build
The type of conversion program that Data Build generates depends on the option you
select in Data Build. For example, you can create a conversion program that does one
of the following:
Data Build Output Option Description
Enscribe Writes data to entry-sequenced Enscribe files. This is the default.
SQL-LOAD Feeds data to a separate SQLCI process that loads the data to a new
NonStop SQL table.
SQL-INSERT Programmatically inserts data into existing NonStop SQL tables.
When Data Build outputs Enscribe files, the following is true:
The default order is entry sequenced.
The order can be easily changed to key sequenced.
In writing output data to NonStop SQL tables, Data Build can:
Use the SQLCI LOAD interface (with a 32 KB block size) to load new NonStop
SQL tables. (This procedure is very efficient.)
Programmatically INSERT data into existing NonStop SQL tables.

Operating Systems
Data Build runs on both the C-Series and D-series versions of the Tandem NonStop
operating system. All the software in the table below is required except for the last
item, NonStop SQL, which is not required for a conversion to Enscribe.

Compatibility Issues
Note that Data Build releases prior to the D20 release cannot be installed, generated, or
executed on a D-series system. However, the D20 release of Data Build can be
installed, generated, and executed on either the C-series or D-series systems. The D20
release of Data Build must be used only on the system series where it is installed and
all generated programs must be executed only on the system series where they were
created.
