INMODs with FastLoad

Using INMODs with FastLoad

When you find that FastLoad does not read the file type you have or you wish to control the access for any reason, then it might be desirable to use an INMOD. An INMOD (Input Module), is fully compatible with FastLoad in either mainframe or LAN environments, providing that the appropriate programming languages are used. However, INMODs replace the normal mainframe DDNAME or LAN defined FILE name with the following statement: DEFINE INMOD=<INMOD-name>. For a more in-depth discussion of INMODs, see the chapter of this book titled “INMOD Processing”.
