LOAD;

Details

This statement causes the interface view engine to create a file and transfer data to it from the input data set, after the DBLOAD procedure is submitted. This statement is required to create and load a new file.

When you create and load a file, you must place statements or groups of statements in a certain order after the PROC DBLOAD statement and its options, as follows:

Database-description statements: PATH and your PC file specific statements.
Editing statements: ACCDESC, DELETE, ERRLIMIT, LABEL, LIMIT , LIST, RENAME, RESET, and WHERE. The order within this group usually does not matter.

See the individual statements for more information. QUIT is also an editing statement but using it immediately terminates PROC DBLOAD.
When creating and loading statement, LOAD must appear last before RUN in order to create and load the new table.
The RUN statement is used to process the DBLOAD procedure.
