Loading a New Area

Before a data area can be loaded, you must have initialized the data area once using the INIT function. You must also initialize any newly allocated Index Area (IXX). Do not reinitialize the Index Area when loading subsequent data areas in the database or previously created Index entries for the other areas are lost. When reloading an entire database, initializing the Index Area before performing the first data area LOAD generally speeds processing. A data area or Index Area need only be initialized once.
