Specifies the format of the input file. The format must match the actual format of the input file for LOAD to operate.
The format codes are:
GO - Global Output format B[INARY] - Binary format Z[WR] - ZWRITE format
By default, LOAD uses FORMAT=ZWR.
-FORMAT=GO expects the data in record pairs. Each global node requires one record for the key and one for the data.
-FORMAT=ZWR expects the data for each global node in a single record.
-FORMAT=BINARY only applies to Greystone Database Structure (GDS) files. A BINARY format file loads significantly faster than a GO or ZWR format file. -FORMAT=BINARY works with data in a proprietary format. -FORMAT=BINARY has one header record, therefore LOAD -FORMAT=BINARY starts active work with record number two (2).
