LOAD
PAD [ pad-character ]
specifies that records containing fewer than in-record-length bytes are
padded with pad-character up to the record length specified in the file label.
Specify pad-character as a single ASCII character inside quotation marks:
"c"
or as an integer ranging from 0 through 255, specifying a byte value:
{ 0:255 }
in-option
specifies the format and control of in-filename. The value of in-option is any
one of:
BLOCKIN in-block-length
[ NO ] COMPACT
EBCDICIN
RECIN in-record-length
REELS num-reels
[ NO ] REWINDIN
SHARE
SKIPIN num-eofs
TRIM [ trim-character ]
[ NO ] UNLOADIN
VARIN
XLATE [ translation-table-name ]
XLATEIN [ translation-table-name ]
XLATEOUT [ translation-table-name ]
key-seq-option
is an option for specifying the loading of key-sequenced files.
MAX num-records
specifies the number of records to be read from primary-filename. The
default record size is 10,000. Specify num-records as a whole number
ranging from 0 through 4000000000. To determine the size of the scratch file
that is used by the SORT process, FUP multiplies num-records by the
number of alternate keys associated with key-file-number. The num-
records value must be equal to or greater than the actual number of records
in the primary file.
FUP LOADALTFILE fails with an error: SORTMERGERECIEVE ERROR: SORT
ERROR6 while processing a data file. For larger data files, use the MAX option
while using the LOADALTFILE command.
Note. The pad-character default is an ASCII null character (binary 0).
Note. For a complete description of these options, see in-option
on page 2-42.
