Remarks

The sequential file outfile contains the name(s) and data of the original file(s) to be moved from one system to another. isin creates the data file(s) contained in outfile on the target system, provided it does not already exist on that system. If the file already exists on the target system, isin adds any new records and updates existing records.

When using a C-ISAM file type you are not allowed to uses extensions or wildcards. This requires you to enter each C-ISAM filename with no extensions when using isout -fC-ISAM.

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

Example

isin cust1.out cust2.out
isin ------ PROIV (R) Create/update database file(s) from platform independent file(s)
Copyright (C) 1994, PROIV Technology, Inc.
All rights reserved. Unauthorized use strictly prohibited.
PROIV Version : 4.0000 Revision: 1.0.0
custs.pro: 24 records
custs.pro: 50 records

This copies the records from two sequential files 'cust1.out' and 'cust2.out' (created using isout from the indexed file 'custs.pro') back into a single indexed file 'custs.pro'.
