DBLOAD PROBLEM
Posted in 1991
<This one is for a friend. She's been trying to use dbload (under 4GL RDS 4.00
<the interpretted version) to load a an ascii file containing variable length
<data records into a simple database. The file contains lines of the form:
<
< f1|f2|f3|f4|
< f1|f2|f3|f4|
< f1|f2|f3|f4|
< ...
<
<She's built a command file which contains:
<
< FILE "table1.new" DELIMITER "|" 4 ;
< insert into table1 ;
<
<Which is exactly as is described in Appendix E of Volume 2 of the reference
<manual. running dbload on this with the command line,
>I ran into a similar problem on a SUN WORKSTATION. We found that the
>word delimiter has to be in lower case letters. This was using version
>4.1 . It might be something simple. Good Luck!
