I'm trying to load a table with a binary data file that was created by someone else with onunload. I can't for the life of me get the correct syntax. I just keep getting a usage error. Here's what I'm trying: onload -t /home/onloadfile databasename tablename I've also tried every combination of the above, without any luck. Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong? Thanks, Jeff (P.S. Environment: Solaris Intel 2.7, Informix IDS 7.31)

its possible you are missing a ':' ( colon) between database name and tablename, and If you check your logging and find it is on for the db, turn it off then back on after your load. hth "Jeffrey P.
