Sequential I/O
The DataLoader/MX file system is available to user exits and is easy to use. For
example, to open a file, call DTLOpen with the name of the file. DTLOpen returns a file
number that is passed to the other routines for accessing the file. The DataLoader/MX
file number is different from a OSS file descriptor or Guardian file number.
DTLClose
This procedure closes a file previously opened by DTLOpen. Files opened by the
DataLoader/MX file system that are still open when DataLoader/MX performs a normal
termination are closed by DataLoader/MX.
The syntax is:
DTLOpen
This procedure opens the file whose name, together with any requested features, is
pointed to by Name.
The syntax is:
Name must be null-terminated and must contain either an OSS file name or a Guardian
file name. If Name starts with one of these characters, DataLoader/MX handles it as a
Guardian file:
void DTLClose( short FileNum );
short DTLOpen( char* Name, char* AccessMode );
