Storing and unloading data (BINILOAD, BOUTLOAD)

This chapter describes the utility routines BINILOAD and BOUTLOAD, which allow you to store and unload data.

The BINILOAD utility routine can be run at any time in order to store data in an empty or partially loaded database.

The BOUTLOAD utility routine is used to copy, delete or unload entire record types from the database, e.g. for the purpose of restructuring.

At startup both utility routines take into account any assigned UDS/SQL pubset declaration (see the "Database Operation" manual, Pubset declaration job variable). Faulty assignment leads to the program aborting.
