Syntax of DataLoader/MP
•
If -I= is specified and -G is not specified, DataLoader/MP opens the input file
and fetches the data to be processed.
•
If -I= and -G are both specified, DataLoader/MP opens the input file but does
not read data from it directly. When DataLoader/MP needs a record to process,
it calls the GETNEXTRECORD exit. If you require it, GETNEXTRECORD can
read the input file specified in -I= by calling DTLRead and passing -1 as the file
number.
•
If neither -I= nor -G are specified, DataLoader/MP behaves as if only -G had
been specified.
-H
displays help. DataLoader/MP displays a brief description of its parameters. This
display is also generated if DataLoader/MP is run with a parameter that is not
recognized by DataLoader/MP or its user exits.
-I=in-file [ (i-mod [,i-mod]...) ]
specifies an input file to read, with optional modifiers or interpretations, or both.
i-mod is:
BUFSIZE=bufsize
CSV [<[SEPCHAR=sepchar] [,CONTCHAR=contchar]
[ ,MAXRECLEN=len]>]
DUMP [<{HEX | ASCII}>]
INDIRECT
MAX=size
NOREWIND
NOUNLOAD
num%
NUMBUFS=numbufs
RECFORM= { FB<RECSIZE=recsize[,PADCHAR=padchar]> }
{ VB[<BLKSIZE=blksize>] }
{ IBMVB }
PERSIST
SUBTYPE=subtype-num
TYPE=type-num
WAIT=secs
in-file
is the name of the file or DEFINE to be used for input. If you enter -I= but
do not enter a file name, DataLoader/MP uses its IN file name.
If in-file contains any “/” characters, NM DataLoader/MP assumes the
file is an OSS file.
See the description of -G for information about how -G and -I interact.
