Commands Related to LOAD

LOADALTFILE

Generates (from a primary file) the alternate-key records for a designated alternate-key

file and then loads the records into the file. You can also specify the amount of slack

space reserved for future insertions. This command applies only to Enscribe files. The

LOAD command does not work on alternate-key files.

key-file-number

selects the alternate-key file to load. Specify key-file-number as an integer

ranging from 0 through 255 to indicate an alternate-key file of the primary file. The

alternate-key file must already exist. You can display the key-file number with the

FUP INFO command on the primary file. This number might be different from the

one used if you created the primary file with FUP.

primary-filename

names the existing primary file whose alternate-key records are to be generated

and loaded into the file indicated by key-file-number. Partial file names are

expanded using the current default node, volume, and subvolume names (if

necessary).

key-seq-option

specifies options for loading the alternate-key file.
