Definition

Enter the function to be carried out:

- SAVE:

SAVE stores ATAB table data with a maximum key length of 29 characters in the table T599U.

A new version number (VERSION = NEW) is requested or the last version is overwritten (VERSION = LST).

You can also make an entry in the ALTSTRUC field.

By entering a generic key (GEN-ARG), you can limit the data to be saved.

Enter your user ID in the PASSWORD field.

- RESTORE

RESTORE re-stores the data that you have saved in table T599U in the ATAB table.

Enter the table name and a version number. You can either restore the last version of saved data (VERSION = LST) or a specific version (VERSION = nnn).

The parameters ALTSTRUC and GEN-ARG are used when you call the SAVE function.

Also enter the MODE: if you enter UPD, the data is simply restored and existing entries may be overwritten.

If you enter REP, the exising table entries are deleted, and the data which was saved in T599U is restored. If you select REP, you must make an entry in either DEL-GARG or DEL-ALL.

Enter your user ID in the PASSWORD field.

- UNLOAD

UNLOAD saves the data and structure of an ATAB table with a maximum key length of 29 characters in table T599U.

The structure of the table is retrieved from the Data Dictionary. However, you can also store an alternative structure in table T599U. If you do, the Data Dictionary is not accessed when you make an entry in the parameter ALTSTRUC.

Like in the SAVE function, a new version is requested with VERSION = NEW, or the last version is overwritten if the value of VERSION is LST.

You can also use a generic entry to select data.

Enter your user ID in the PASSWORD field.

- LOAD

LOAD function loads an ATAB table. The table structure of the Data Dictionary is used. When a table is loaded, the structure of the table is known.

You can either retrieve it when unloading the table from the Data Dictionary and store it under STR in T599U, or you can store it manually under AST (alternative structure).

Enter this alternative structure in ALTSTRUC.

Make entries in the DEL, DEL-GARG and DEL-ALL fields (REQUEST = RESTORE).

When a table is loaded, the FILLn parameters ( 1 <= n <= 7) are used. Since the structure of the table is known, you can enter the code lines in which the table fields can be explicitly addressed.

Don't forget the PASSWORD.

- CLEAR

CLEAR deletes unnecessary entries in T599U. Enter the version to be deleted (LST or nnn). Also specify whether the structure description, data or everything should be deleted.

In the fields DEL-GARG or DEL-ALL, enter the area to be deleted. Enter your user ID in the PASSWORD field.

- SHOW

A version management is stored in T599U under VER. Information such as table, user, time, function and so on can be listed with the function SHOW.

No other entries are required. However, you can limit the selection by making entries in the TABLE and VERSION fields.
