Remarks

If iscr is entered without any parameters, then on-line help appears for the utility.

When creating a file there is no check to see if a file of that name already exists; if such a file does already exist, then it is overwritten and the data lost.

Example 1

The following creates a file 'sports.pro' with key length 20, and a record length of 1500.

iscr -k20 –r1500 sports.pro
