Rebuild Options - /l

Specifies the loading and unloading of files.

Use the /l option when you are loading to and unloading from IDXFORMAT 9 files.

For loading, you need to define the record size and key definition (one key only).

All records must be the key order of the target file and there must be no records which result in duplicate keys.

You do not need to define the record size and key definition for unloading.

Parameters

r9 Load a record sequential file to an IDXFORMAT 9 file
9r Unload an IDXFORMAT 9 file to a record sequential file
