Purpose

Imports bridge files and tables and their associated files in ASCII format to allow them to be transferred from a binary incompatible platform

Syntax

INSTALL <filename> [FROM <directory>]

See Also

BUILD, SET FILETYPE

Description

The INSTALL command imports Recital bridge files and tables and their associated structure, data, memo, dictionary and multiple index files from ASCII format to allow them to be transferred from a binary incompatible format. The export on the source machine requires the use of the BUILD command.

<filename>

The <filename> is the name of a '.xat' file. This is a text created by the BUILD command on the source machine.

FROM <directory>

If the optional FROM <directory> clause is used, the .xat files and exported files from <directory> will be used to create the table or tables and their associated files in the specified directory.

Example

On source machine demo.xaf contains the following lines:

dbf,customer.rdb
dbf,accounts.rdb
dbf,state.rdb
dbf,product.rdb
brg,cisamdemo.dbf

build demo into ./transfer

On target machine, once files have been transferred

install demo from ./transfer
