INPUT

 

 

Note: When migrating from DOS to Windows it is recommended that you replace your INPUT commands with the RUN command.

 

 

The INPUT command is used most often to load an ASCII file, created with the OUTPUT and UNLOAD commands, back into a database.

 

The INPUT command also transfers the contents of a backup file generated by BACKUP or UNLOAD. INPUT executes the commands in the file and loads the data contained in the backup file. Do not use INPUT when the backup file is on more than one floppy disk.
