2 DataLoader/MX Components
This section describes the file package, structure, and file system of DataLoader/MX.
DataLoader/MX File Package
DataLoader/MX is delivered with the object file, dataload, as well as with text files with
prototypes for its utility procedures. You can copy and modify these procedures to
control processing with your own version of DataLoader/MX.
The DataLoader/MX package consists of these files:
dataload The executable object file for DataLoader/MX, ready to use with
default user exits.
dtload.h A text file containing C prototypes for all the utility procedures in
DataLoader/MX. Incorporate this file into all user exit source files by
using an #include command.
sexitsc.c A text file containing the C source of the default user exits. To build
a customized version of DataLoader/MX, make a copy of
appropriate pieces of this file and modify the copy as needed.
sexitscb.cob A text file containing the COBOL source of the default user exits. To
build a customized version of DataLoader/MX, make a copy of
appropriate pieces of this file, and modify the copy as needed.
build.sh An OSS shell script designed to assist in creating a customized
DataLoader/MX version. It does the compilation and linking and,
optionally, does the SQL compile.
aaaindex Descriptions of data files included with DataLoader/MX. This index
file and the sample input files are kept in the data subdirectory of
the DataLoader/MX installation directory. These data files contain
lists of common data, such as last names, male and female first
names, street addresses, and more. Use these files with the
Cartesian field method to generate test data. For more information,
see Generating Test Data on page 5-27.
linkable The relinkable object code for DataLoader/MX, complete except for
the default user exits. Use this file when building a customized
DataLoader/MX.
sexitsc.o The object file containing the default user exits. Any exits that are
not redefined by the user are picked from this object.
