LOAD

The LOAD control statement is used for recovery purposes to load the database from a sequential, previously unloaded file. The input, unloaded copy of the database is defined with the SARLOAD DD statement.

The high-level name of the output database must have been defined with the NAME control statement (or the PARM parameter of the EXEC JCL statement).

The destination database must be a new and unused database.

Syntax:

LOAD [BUFFER | NOBUFFER]

where

BUFFER

Specifies whether to buffer records written to the output database, which improves performance and reduces I/O time.

NOBUFFER

The default.

WARNING! When using the LOAD control statement, be aware of the following:

The CA View archival started task (SARSTC), SARFSS, SARXTD, CA View Cross Memory Services (SARXMS), and CA Deliver-direct-to-CA View must be inactive.

When using BUFFER, an unsuccessful completion could corrupt the output database.
